{ How often do you change your trousers? }
-excellentAfter a certain amount of time has passed without washing or changing your trousers, do people lose the ability to smell their own odor? Do they become so acclimatized to their own stench that they really don’t notice it? OR do they just not give a shit (no pun intended)?
If you are twenty feet away from me at your computer I should NOT be able to smell you. Even worse is when you have such a distinguished smell that I know you have entered the library without even having to look over at the entrance when you walk in – your odor precedes you.
It’s not as bad as the guy who used to come in with an infected knee. But all of my adult standards of sex and dating have stemmed from the basic assumption that ADULT MEN SHOULD NOT SMELL LIKE THEY HAVE WET THE BED….., and then not washed or changed their trousers in about three months.
I would understand if they were homeless. I would understand if they were mentally inept or disabled or suffered from a crippling depression because their spouse was run over by a lorry. But most of the smelly people who come in here are living at home with their Mommies, don’t work, and should be perfectly capable of finding the time to take a shower and change their undies before they try to flirt with the girl at the library.
I’m just disgusted.
