*Hack, cough* OH GOD WHY?

Was at Ray's today, picking up a few things so my boyfriend and I could have decent home cooked meal instead of the usual pizza or fast food diet of the normal college student. I was trolling round the meat department when this horendous smell assaulted my nostrils. I turned around in circles trying to find the source when a couple passed me. Oh holy moldy cheese, it was them! There is no way to describe this smell, it was that bad. Several people around me attempted to escape the smell, but it was like the whole store was forever stained with this putrid smell.
Seriously people, take a shower! Or brush your teeth or at the very least wear some deoderant or something! I very nearly lost my appetite when you flounced past!

Sometimes I think it's worse when you can identify the smell - we had a woman in the library once who must have bathed in the condiments at a hot dog stand, and another time we had a group of kids using the computers in the children's area......they all smelled like they were wearing poopy diapers.

I think when they get to that point deoderant isn't going to do anything...

As a cashier, I found that the worst-smelling people (be it perfume or other) tended to also be the most chatty...

When I worked in a bank with a bandit barrier, I once smelled old lady swamp crotch through the inch thick plexiglass.

And it lingered. I had to hold my breath not to gag.

I was buying an air matress in the sporting goods section of a big all-in-one type store when a guy still soaked in deer musk came in for hunting tags. That was one of my top ten worst smells experienced.
