Should you/Could you tell someone they smell?

Give them a card and a bath and sing happy birthday to them.

hmm yea sometimes this happens, i remember a girl in the office stank of BO.

I wouldn't bother saying anything to em, unless - i was working directly with them or around them for long times. then u have to say something or u cant work/or do whatever it is.

I had to do this in work with an employeee...... it very unpleasnt to broach the subject but its was pereferable to being unable to breath.

Best advice i can give is get someone else to do it : )

if that fails be direct and speak to them in private

I cant. Weve dropped hints to someone, but damn, he just doesnt take them. How can you not know that you smell bad for gods sake!!!!!!!!

tell them but make out that it has just started today. then tomorrow someone can that the smells still there. this will be easier on you as it sounds like a casual just noticed statement, you could refer to different aftershave or as i said before - perhaps they stepped in something?

and its easier on them as they wont feel the embarrassment of knowing they have stunk up the office for months, they can quickly d something about it and they will think they got away with it

He has a bad BO problem though. All our friends know. He stinks. I mean i smell onn a hot day or if iv been doing something, but thats only if you put your nose right to my armpit, whereas he smells on a normal day and can smell it without being close.

You have to be cruel to be kind, but if i'm honest i'd probably say nothing and hope someone else does something :\

In that case, it's 20 useful posts, not 20 spam posts
