How do you react to those people with a bad odour?

Not all people take their bath everyday. Especially now that the weather is quite cold. They will just take a facial wash then ready to go out for work. But we all know that, somehow, a body odour might come out from due to some perspiration. With regard to this, how you will react if you smell a bad odour coming from your colleague or from other people that surrounds you? Will you say it directly or just cover your nose and sacrifice with the bad smell?

Good day to you Scoutsniper85, You are quite a lucky person. That you can easily get rid of them. That your nose will not suffer to smell the not so nice odour.

I just blink at myself in the mirror... (I really don't smell bad. Really. I shower every day...)

Its good to hear that you take your shower everyday. Well maybe, you are particular with your hygiene. Keep it up.

I would probably only say anything in an extreme circumstance and if I had to be near the person. You never really know why someone smells so it's not a task I like to take on. They might have some kind of medical condition, for instance, and so by saying something you might just be making them feel worse about a thing they can't help. It also goes without saying that if your job requires "sweaty" work everyone will smell to some extent.

Hi, airshelia. I may just blurt out that something stinks. But I might not really know who it is. And at other times, I will just keep quiet without saying anything to anyone. I don't want to embarrass them by saying something directly to them. I will just not hang around them at all. Or I will just try not to get too close to them, so that I won't have to smell their bad body odor.

Hello airasheila this is checkmail and if have an encoutner with such an person with bad odour of sweat than would first find some air to breath, and later can talk to the person about it.Yeah i will better give him some advice on his situation.Well if its tolerable odur to me than also i may ask him to follow some medications for the odour.Its good to help such peoples, as mostly they also know their own fact.But lacks proper advice.

Depends on how close I am to that person (not close as in distance but close in relationships lol). Sometime it is really frustration when people are smelling in a closed place.. it may even distract me when I'm trying to work or do something important but most of the time I sacrifice myself ant try to hold on until it is over.
