My toilet has been leaking, so the landlord is having it replaced; apparently the tank is cracked.The workman is here now, and he has the WORST fuckin' BO I have ever had the displeasure to encounter. For Pete's sake, he got here at 9 am! He wasn't just working hard; this is the kind of funk that builds up over days and weeks and years of not practicing proper hygiene. Can't people SMELL THEMSELVES?? Remember that Seinfeld episode? This is worse, I swear. Is it really THAT difficult to use some damn deodorant?? I didn't think so -- I seem to manage to use it daily. Dude smells like he's rotten. Farg. I'm probably going to have to fumigate the damn house now. And I have a prospective new roommate coming by this morning, too! This will definitely make a really good impression! I'm so pissed at my cheap-ass landlord! He always hires the lowest common denominator to fix stuff here or at the restaurant he owns (which is right next door). I'm lighting some cinnamon incense right now. TWO sticks! And I'm gonna bitch to my landlord once this guy is done. GAH! ~~~~~~~~

Heh - I used to share an office with that guy. He had a nifty habit of leaning back in his chair and putting his hands behind his head. EW!(((MCP))) IP: Logged |

you might wanna run out and buy him a car air-freshener and wrap it up and give it to him as a sort of "thank you for leaving" present.a little tree on a string maybe?

Wouldn't be cool if "Smellyelf" were the plumber using his PDA to post to the board?[This message has been edited by Earl (edited June 19, 2001).] IP: Logged |

At least your landlord is doing something about it. Our landlord is making us remove the window fan in our bedroom because she's convinced its rotting the sill away. Its a plastic fucking fan. The thing thats rotting the damn sill is the lack of paint and the fact that they water the damn house along with the lawn. I told her these things and so she sent out a general contractor to look at the sill. he said "Yeah. Its rotting a little." And she presented that as proof of our wrong-doing. B-u-l-l-s-h-i-t. So I reckon we'll have to remove the fan. And next most likely the window airconditioner will go. And thenn we'll be stuck in a flat-topped, brick building with no A/C in 100 degree plus July. I wish my wife would hurry up and find a house she wants. IP: Logged |

I'd just like to pedantically point out that there are some people, of course, who are allergic to many deodorants, soap products etc. I had a teacher with this condition once, and boy, did she stink, but we all felt a little guilty about making fun of her.
Not that guilt often stops 14 yo girls, mind you.------------------

Yeah, well, my Dad's cousin is one of those people who's allergic to most deodorants/anti-perspirants, and he reeked for years until my Mum had a chat with him. Now he uses one of those crystal deodorant blocks, and whaddaya know? He doesn't farging make you want to puke when you're in the same room anymore.I don't care what the reason is, if you are working in people's homes, YOU SHOULD NOT SMELL LIKE A YAK CRAWLED UP YOUR ASS AND DIED. Ever. Period. Some people are just too grody for words. And thanks for all the sympathy and hugs, y'all. I know you'd feel my pain. Somehow, I just imagine that all Brunchmas are unfailingly hygienic and sweet-smelling. If any of you aren't, well, then don't burst my bubble.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~

I knew someone who had skin conditions and couldn't use most soaps. . .she used to pretty much take showers just to rinse off. yes, it was kinda nasty, but at least she was TRYING. I don't use deoderant. I TAKE A LOT OF BATHS. It seems to work; I don't get complaints from my gf. IP: Logged |

I am one of those people who is allergic to everything, I can't use deodorant without a slight rash, but I put up with the rash as opposed to smelling horrid! I keep trying new deodorants as they come out, and so far secret platinum protection in spring fresh causes me to break out the least. Strangely enough tom's of maine and the crystal stuff both caused rashes...IP: Logged |

Smelly bloke works in my local supermarket. He's useless on the checkouts, can never find a barcode or the fruit & veg codes, can't count change properly & is generally crap. So they have him shelf stacking most of the time. But he stinks. And he's handling food. I'd avoid the shop, but it's soooooo close & convenient & I can't be doing with carrying groceries.IP: Logged |
