Thread: Some people just never learn.

There's this guy in one of my classes. He seriously reeks. I don't know if he doesn't shower or what, but that must be the case for somebody who stinks that bad. I sit one seat away from him.

So he raises his hand to ask a question, and everyone within a five foot radius leans away from the odor - a combination of the smell of corn chips, sweaty socks, and really bad B.O.

I don't know what his deal is. Someone obviously failed to teach him basic hygiene when he was growing up. I wish I could politely suggest that he starts taking showers at least once a week. I mean, it's for his own good, right? Except that there's no way I can say that without hurting his feelings. And I have a feeling it wouldn't do any good. If he hasn't learned by now, when will he ever?

Anyways, highlight of my week. How was yours?

Well today we can't find our cat. She is pregnant so we are really worried about her and its raining too so we... I gotta go look for her.

Look on the bright side, Dream. He's only in one of your classes.

Someone will fill this guy in at some point. When I was in art school, there were quite a few people who thought it was cool to go "au naturel" when it came to hygiene. But one guy especially, stunk to hight heaven. A girl in our class slipped some soap and deodorant into his back pack -- and although I was skeptical -- it worked. He didn't exactly smell like a rose every day, but there was a big improvement.

There was a photographer I worked with from a foreign land, where showering and deodorant apparently isn't part of the daily routine. Some days it was hard to take. Fortunately, he fell in love, and the girl just told him outright that he needed to change his ways. He thought it was funny, but he complied -- thank goodness. They ended up getting married too -- so he stuck with it.

On Sunday nights, I work with a guy who is a stranger to soap. He has a girlfriend. Either, she hasn't taught him how to use soap and water, or she's just as funky.

Last week,he caught that I was holding my nose and trying not to pass out when he stood next to me to show me a webpage.

I don't think talking to him would do any good, though. It's not just the way he smells. He's just gross, period. And really weird. I remember once when he loudly sucked back a loogie and spit it into a napkin, this girl nicely asked him to do it outside the classroom, and he was like, "No. Sorry."

Seriously, some people just don't get it. Maybe someday he will find a girl that will change his ways like you said, Joe. She'll have to be able to see past all that freakiness though.

Normally talking to these guys works but Dream is right in this case though, somtimes these people actually become worse after you ask them, just to bother you. They get pleasure by making us ( or Dream ) suffer..... sadistic Ba******.

Maybe mention it to the teacher in private? Maybe the nurse could have a talk with him. Then you could remain out of it.

And I sure hope you find your kitty, Custard. Mine delivered under the house, unfortunately, I was also very pregnant, and it was not very easy to get her and the babies out of there and into the house, lol.

I've thought about doing that. My teacher is a man, so I figure it would be a lot less embarrassing to have a guy tell a guy that he smells like corn chips and smelly socks instead of a girl telling him.

There was a girl at my high school (never had a class with her thank god) That always smelled like she did her pants.

When my brother was discharged from the US Navy at the end of WWII he took advantage of the GI Bill to go to university. A majority of the male students were veterans, and they tended to take direct action to solve a problem. One boy in the dorm where my brother lived never bathed atall. Late one night my brother and three of his buddies gently picked up dirty dan's bunk, carried it down the hall to the showers, and turned the water on full force. They made him strip, wash himself, wash his sheets, wash his underwear, and swear that he would shower at least once a day. That solved the problem.

Ah, brute force... guess that works sometimes.

I know where your coming from, I to have known some pretty smelly people. To be honest, he don't sound like a guy how would wash if you ask him to. You would likely have to do what garza brother did to get him to wash. If your friends with some of the people in your class, you could ask them to help with finding a way to stop the smell.
