Do people with really bad body odor know they are giving off a really offensive odor? Is there a polite way to tell them that they should practice better or more frequent personal hygiene?
Wow. I used to work with a woman who did not wash her clothes and I would have to guess that she seldom washed herself and it was awful.
I had to leave the room, I almost vomited at my desk on more than one occasion. It was very very bad. I spoke to my boss about it, she knew of it and had discussed it with her in the past.
I have to wonder if she didn't realize. Maybe she was so used to it that it was normal to her.
My brother is a smoker and he reeks of the smell and it is awful. I have had people who quit smoking tell me they didn't realize until after they stopped.
I don't think people who stink realize it. Years ago I worked with a guy that I think his grooming habits involved washing his face and hands and shaving, but that's it. He was a nice guy but it was painful to be around him.
Where on earth do all you people find these stinky people? I can't remember the last time I noticed that anybody had an offensive body odor, but I sure encounter a lot of peopple who stink the place up with offensive after-shave or perfume, or practically gag from a room with a Glade plug-in.
Most posters above have to go back years to find a person that they could smell. If you only encounter a dozen smelly people in your whole life, what's the big deal? When I'm in a public place, the music I have to endure is a thousand times worse than the people I have to smell, and there is no way to run away from it.
There is little mystery to certain human body odors. Imo, one of the most offensive is formed in some human underarms. It seems to have its own unique aroma and it stinks. Easily obvious in elevators or other places where people are in close proximity.

You obviously don't like Italian subs from a sandwich shop as you just described the smell. It doesn't stink, it has it's own unique quality. Have you ever smelled cumin? It's sort of the same thing. You would never eat chili again if you knew it was in there. Some cheeses are out there as well.
I know someone who smells like onions. I overheard her say that she is allergic to deodorant. However, there are natural deodorants and recipes for them.

Sometimes you leave in the morning in a hurry and don't think you need a shower because you don't smell bad....yet
