The Stink, It Burns!

[lachesis]

Today must have been stinky day, because I had at least three or four disgusting smelling customers.

This customer, however, was one of the grossest and most vomit inducing I have smelled in my life! He went over to the check writing station to sign his checks and while he was doing that, my co-worker glanced over and ran in the back to gag.

I looked over and ! The guy's pants had ridden frighteningly low and more than half of his derriere was hanging out. No skivvies, no belt, I'm HORRIFIED! What's worse, he didn't seem to notice. Or if he did notice, he didn't care. The worst part was the smell coming off of him. I wasn't sure if it was general B.O. or Ass Stank. Good lord, I can't wipe the image out of my brain even with five bottles of brain bleach.

So he came over to my window, I was trying not to lose my lunch and he gave me WET checks to cash. Sure it's been raining the past few days, but THIS WAS NOT RAIN!! It was SALIVA. I don't know, I don't want to know, I have no reason to find out. All the hand sanitizer in the world doesn't do soap and water justice.

Ohhhh....yuck.....That will teach me to read this site right after I eat....ewwww.

At least the guy I saw on the bus last week--whose backside fell out of his pants--didn't smell bad. Small favors.

I had a whole family of stinky people come in today. I was standing on the opposite side of the store and the stench was unbearable. I was gagging and spraying air freshener (down low, trying to be inconspicuous) when my boss walked out of the office and asked what was wrong. I didn't have to answer him, because the wall of malodorous funk hit him at that moment. After they left, Boss watched them drive away and remarked, "I hope they never try to trade that van in on a new one, because it's going to have to be incinerated in the dealership lot." It's making me gag just to remember it.

This brought back memories of a story I worked in many many years ago ... I don't remember the overall assignment but I do remember interviewing one boy, about 10, who had done some really amazing artwork ... I'd call it 'pointilism; but I'm not sure that's the right word ... he'd have the outline of, say, an owl but the inner shading was all tiny, tiny dots. Very, very detailed and each piece must've taken ages.

So I'm interviewing the boy about his art and he's doing really well ... but I'm noticing a distinct dirty, sour smell coming off him. It was far from gag-inducing but it was noticeable, and I felt badly for him. He was very talented but I'm sure this wasn't doing him any good overall.

Oh gah! HOpe it was saliva.

Today I was putting back some magazines, by the biographies and the stench was just foul. About 30 min. latter I was putting magazines by the wall and either someone took out the perfume samples from the magazines or else spritz some cologne on but the area smelled nice.

Worse place to smell bad odors in the elevator-you can't escape.

It's getting ot be hot around here, which means the stench of sweat hangs in the air anyway, let alone the horrible B.O. some people have. Ugh. Worst thing about summer, I swear!

Since some of them are quite aware of how bad they smell, I wonder how many of them would be offended if you blatantly took Glade over and sprayed it right by them. If they get mad, it's not your fault. You're just looking out for your comfort and the comfort of other patrons.

I feel like I have to take a shower just READING that.

Can I just say... GYEH!

Yeah, no way that's saliva. That's ball sack sweat, or ass sweat.

Enjoy the thought kids.
