Ask her if she works out everyday or jogs to school. Or ask if she has been under some stress.\nWhen she answers or asks why tell her you noticed she has a order about her and you just want to let her know so she could spend a little more time in the shower or try a better deodorant cuz hers is failing her. Be kind and helpful like you have no idea she might smell because she just doesn't.

That is a great question.  I know if I have been working out or something, I can smell myself so I know others could but I think for most people if it goes on like that day in and day out, they have smelled so bad for so long they really don't notice it.\n\nI worked with a girl one time that reeked and I really don't think she knew it at all.

Speak up and politely advise them that this offends you. After a while, they will get the message.\n\nSet up a swear jar like Homer did: everytime someone swears, add a quarter. Once it fills up, show them how much money you saved and it will also illustrate how much they swear.

You don't think they will see through generic answers? You have to be honest!\n1. If your feet smell, tell them! \n2. If you drink out of the milk carton and put in back in the fridge, tell them! \n3. If you wear white after labor day, tell them!\n4. Pick your nose when no ones looking? Tell em\n5. Wipe it under the chair? Tell em...

That’s a tough one. Of course, everyone will probably say, "Ignore them, it doesn't matter what people think", and that's true but that doesn't stop things from hurting. What exactly do they say? Is it because of your clothes and shoes or more like your race or culture? I ask this because sometimes certain are out of hand and sometimes they’re not. I know of some cases where people have talked about someone who did absolutely nothing when it came to personal hygiene. This person wore no deodorant, never brushed his hair and always smelled bad. When confronted, he said it was because he didn’t care about how he smelled, not because he didn’t have the money to take care of himself. If people are talking about you and it something that you know is true then maybe you should decide what to do to make it better. However, if the bastards are being plain rude, obnoxious and disrespectful, stand up for yourself. Confront and let them know that their approval is neither desired nor required.

There is no nice way to say bad things. But their behavior is bad so go ahead and tell them, without laughing or anything-"clean up after you just I clean up after me." they'll think you're drank but they will get the message or you will need to get another room as some humans are really animals. People always obey and never grant-don't sya your point as a "wish" but make it sound like a "law." Wait a sec hahahaha. Have them read these answers hahahaha

giving someone a dirty look?

Hand them a bar of soap when they walk into the joint.  Put a background picture of a pile of dog crap on their computer Desktops.  As a last resort, you can wait until they sit down and drop one of those green car air freshners shaped like a tree around their necks.\n\nThere's no excuse for fat lazy slobs not bathing.\n\nFor the nerds: Don't let them in.  You don't need those repulsive people in your place - they'll drop your "cool points" quite a bit.

Ummm...I had to tell my friend that he has really bad B.O.\n\nWell I didn't really tell him. I just bought him a gift set with deodorant an cologne in it for Christmas! He liked it! He didn't stink anymore for a while. It's coming back now though. Oh well, Christmas is just around the corner!

As a supervisor at 2 different companies, I have had to explain to an employee that they had an odor problem.  As horrible and embarrassing as it was for me, it was even more so for them.  But the truth is if it were you, wouldn't you want to know?  Actually in both instances it had to do with their behaviors.  One guy used a cologne that had a BO like smell, the other worked out before he showed up to work without showering.  Simple fixes and everyone was happy in the end.

I was in a simular situation when I was a manager.  I had an employee that was offending customers.  I had no idea how to approach this person with fear that their reaction would be with anger and/or embarrassment.  It wasn't until someone in a higher position gave me this advice.....\n\nThe person who has the body odor doesn't understand the concept of cleanliness as you do.  So, approaching them you will notice that they may be oblivious to the situation.  My experience was that I was educating them on cleaniness.  Once achieved, this should favor both parties.  \n\nAlthough the person I delt with never changed their ways, probably because we weren't friends and that this person was a bad employee.  Your situation is different.  Still, it's worth the effort to educate....\n\nHope this helps you.\n\n:)\nPeace

Find some body wash that smells really great (but not overpowering) -- something like Te Tao.  Use it before going in to work.  When you're around your co-worker, make a big deal of sniffing your arm (NOT armpit) and saying "Mmmm, I love this stuff."  Offer her a sniff.  Be enthusiastic and tell her how wonderful the stuff is, the perfect shower companion, and how you can get it at Floopnagel's Drug Store for only $4 a bottle.  That way you aren't telling her she needs it, which would be rude, but rather how much you like it, which gets the message across without endangering her feelings.

Just be honest and say it or suffer the stench

He has B.O. (Body Odour) .\nYou'll have to learn to love the smell (or change him for another one)

Some do some don't. I don't just mean unclean or unbathed people. I am talking about cologne or perfume wearing people that could knock a buzzard of a crap wagon with the aroma coming off of them. I think some people are not as sensitive to it as other people though. I try and make a point of letting people know when they are smelling a little to funky. I try and be polite and say things like, "Damn, it's not the smell baby it is the burning of my eyes". or" Wow that cologne you are wearing reminds me of something wait a sec it's coming, I know it smells like the outhouse door on a 1954 Tuna boat". They generally get the hint and if not I was looking to meet people when I found them. i do have one rule with friends and family too. If you stink you are on your own because I don't want to be anywhere near when people start pointing a finger, Stinky.
