People Who Smell

One thing that really bothers me a lot is when people smell.  Some people just don't seem to shower enough or even shower at all.  In my opinion, it's disgusting.  If you have the means to shower, then shower.  Not just once a week, but once a day or once every other day if you really can't (but realistically, it only takes a few minutes to shower so there really isn't an excuse).  And if you have time and a few buck, go get something that will make you smell nice.  It makes all the difference in the world.

Today, I was walking to my car when I got off school and I encountered a strange odor while I was waiting for the light to change at the corner.  I turned to my left. A fellow classmate of mine was standing next to me and she smelled like apples.  The mysterious odor wasn't coming from her.  I turned to my right.  One of my teachers was standing there and she smelled like some perfume my friend used to wear.  Nope, she wasn't were the funny smell was coming from either.  There was only one place left to look.  I very slyly dropped a book behind me and turned so I could see where the horrible odor was coming from.  Right as I turned, I got a giant whiff of it.  Ugh. Disgusting. 

So who was the smelly person?  A man in a business suit who smelled like he hadn't showered in a month and didn't know what deodorant was used for or even had the slightest clue that it existed.  Ugh.  It was horrible.  He had on a $1600 Armani suit and $500 Dolce & Gabbana loafers and he smelled worse than a dirty diaper.  There was no excuse for him to smell that bad.  For a guy who was that well dressed, he smelled a hell of a lot worse than the homeless guy I had just given $5 to.  I wonder how bad he would've smelled if it was actually hot today like it was last week.  Ugh.  I get chills just thinking about it.

Maybe he just sweats a lot. Some people sweat a lot. I'm not going to say who, but I know that some people sweat a lot. It doesn't even matter if they're wearing deodorant or not.

I'm glad you didn't say that Indy smelled bad. :) That could've been a deal breaker.

It makes me feel glad that Indy smells yummy.

And this guy wasn't just sweaty. I know some people sweat, but this guy was literally the worst smelling person I have ever encountered. And I live in Downtown LA so I run into quite a few people who smell funny. Just imagine a guy who had gotten drunk every night and hadn't showered for a month straight.

I was making a veiled allusion to myself. I sweat a lot. I don't smell particularly bad, but I ruin shirts really fast. (cries)

Hello Ah,

Well, now I guess I'll have to take a shower!

You're right! soap and water are readily available.

I have nothing against people who smell if it really is a problem and it really isn't their fault. I just got disgusted with the guy because he was pretty snobby and rude and acted like he was the shit because he had a lot of money (he was talking on the phone and was making fun of the poor homeless guy I had given $5 to). You can't act like that when you smell that bad.
