This reminds me of this lady I'd get in my line at work and she smelled of cat piss. I know it was cat pee. The worse part is she would bring her own bags and it smelled even worse and I would gag. I don't know if certain people realize they smell bad, but I always can tell if I do, and I can even tell when my breath stinks. Maybe some people just don't give a fuck; it's quite sad.

this is somewhat more of a forgiving situation since it was at our work's gym but there was a guy at my last job that never washed his gym clothes. ever. and when we were in the gym doing our thing and he'd come in to do his crazy ass shit (jumping up and down on the bench for bench presses but holding onto 100 lb weights with each hand over and over and over again), we literally would have to leave. everyone had to leave. it was the most sour mildewy smell i've ever smelled in my life. and within 5 minutes the whole gym (it was very small) would reek of him and his dirty sweaty mildew clothes to the point that you couldn't breathe without gagging. we had to make sure to go when we knew he wouldn't be there.

I had a stinky friend at school. Post-puberty she absolutely hummed. In the end I went by the very unsubtle taking her deoderant and toothbrush shopping (she owned neither). I was 14, I didn't really know what else to do.

Although in adult life I'd probably just end up leaving some shower gel on their desk or deoderant til eventually they got the message.

Almost as bad is the variety of individual who thinks that they can get away with dousing themselves with cologne in lieu of actually washing. I think it's what we call a " 'ho bath".
