Yesterday afternoon I spent a good 20 minutes in a booking in office holding my breath next to this other driver, who to be blunt smelt like he’d been living rough for the past few years.
Not the first time, I have sat in waiting rooms near to guys who could knock out a skunk with their BO. The smell in the drivers room at Amazon Rugeley one day near Christmas had the office staff wincing as they walked through. Not the first office staff I have felt sorry for having to put up with it.
I’m not having a go at trampers either, plenty of day men have serious hygiene issues as well.
It’s disgusting, why can’t grown men get their act together and wash??
It is complete laziness. Problem is they probably do not realise they stink because they are so used to it.
Personally I would tell them in a really polite way.
“I really don’t want to be cheeky here but you smell quite bad pal. I thought I’d tell you incase you don’t know because I’d like to know myself if it was me”
Now I reckon that’s about as polite as you’ll get. But you’ll not find a way not to offended someone. We have a guy at our depot who stinks to high heaven feel like puking when you’re in the same room as him. He’s a big ■■■■ so that’s probably why nobody has told him
So long as you don’t mind if the reaction to being told is a polite bunch of fives and an expensive visit to the dentist, fill yer boots.
It’s not one’s vocation to go round telling other people how they should live their lives, unless one has ambitions to climb the greasy political class pole, so maybe cut 'em a bit of slack eh?, i’ve never smoked but had to put up with the stench of smokers all my life, and yes they stink to high heaven of cig smoke despite the recent stepping outside to set fire to the cancer stick, if non cab smokers they drive the lorry before you the whole cab stinks after them especially the steering wheel and controls, which even after you’ve cleaned them the smell transfers onto the following driver, but they are addicts and you have to realise their own sense of smell/taste has been systematically destroyed so won’t have a clue what the problem is.
Its also horrible being near people who eat different heavily spiced foods, but one wouldn’t dream of saying anything if one is brought up properly.
For those who prefer people to smell naturally whatever that means it must be horrible to be near those who douse themselves in chemicals…my own personal hatred is the female perfume correctly called Poison, i’d rather be inside Runcorn chemical works in the 70’s, Poison actually has me retching.
Its all part of rubbing along together in an overpopulated island, live and let live.
It’s an animal thing, a male with a strong odour will always upset weaker males. Sign of dominance really.
When I enter a room other men folk huddle up in the corner like a heard of females, it’s either me intense masculine scent or the buggers are talking about me.
I fear for our species, man up and tell him or do nothing and grow a ■■■■■■.
my wife used to say to me when I got back late on a friday night … “Get a bath or sleep in the other room” … I used to quickly go and have a bath. So you could try that tactic with your mates in the RDC. LOL
Cigaret Smoke on ones Clothes if you No-smoker. Bahh,…
Smoked myself for 20 Year and never smelled it,even in the darkest Bars. Who knows how much were other smelling of it?
Remember a Film… Rio Bravo i think. with John Wayne and Robert Mitchum,when half the Town were spending a Bar of Soap to the drunken Sheriff
Immigrant, you wouldn’t smell the smoke residue, smoking destroys your sense of smell and taste.
Doesn’t worry me that people smell different, the hypocrits with irony by-passes here are amusing though, i’ve known smokers get all uppity when someone breaks wind, they utterly fail to see the similarities.
Thats right. Just came to mind as we have one smelling after cold Cigarette smoke. Think its his Pullover as he works out in Yard. Has a HiVis Jacket over it and gets not dirty. so it may not get washed that often.

In continental would not be with in. But under water still. SoAp.
Where I last worked we had one. Feisty little bugger he was too, so most people just moved away from him. The problem was, that when I semi-retired, I had to drive his truck. I chickened out and bought a can of industrial strength deodorant, but eventually, the other part timer and I went to the boss and told him that we weren’t going to drive it any more. He didn’t believe us at first but after nearly throwing up when he got in the cab, he must have sad something, because smelly guy quit and the truck got valeted.
Nothing worse than a cab stinking of BO. it is personal hygiene for god’s sake. They should do the same as they do with smokers.
Ban them from public places.
Us proper people do not want stunk out. Farters that ■■■■ in public can join them as well.
It`s a dog thing ,
