I hate stinky customers

We have a policy: The following behaviors and activities are prohibited in library buildings: Offensive bodily hygiene that constitutes a nuisance to others.

Back in college I had bio. lab. One bio. lab we had to make food for fly larvae, which always make me think of fly larvae. It smells kind of yeasty. Today, I was helping these two guys and they smell (or at least one of them) like that food I used to make for the fly larvae.

People make me sick. I should have asked them to leave.

You can really ask people to leave if they have body odor? Wow.

I remember one regular customer at the diner, we called him "stinky man" because he reeked of body odor and urine. I actually held my breath when I had to stand by his table to take his order, and would hold my breath when I brought his food too.

The owner never asked him to leave.

I always felt sorry for people sitting at a table right next to him.

Reminds me of a local news story about 10 years ago. The headline was "KICKED OUT OF PUB FOR HAVING GREEN HAIR".

Now, the facts:
-two staff members at the pub had green hair at the time
-they have a "no shirt, no shoes, no service" rule and the guy was barefoot
-his feet also stank
-there were cockroaches in his dreadlocks
-when the above facts were revealed, he tried to sue the journalist invovled

OH GOD.

Now I'm reminded of the regular who came in weekly, before and after the opera.

The Restaurant I bartended at was near a major opera house. During the season, our Saturday nights were non-stop busy. This man could clear out the bar just by sitting down. We swear he never changed his shirt or washed his hair.

Oh goddess... I... I can't even begin to describe the disgustingness of this man. And I'll spare you all the stories about his manners and....oh I'm not even continuing on that line of thought, it's making me sick.

Suffice it to say that I was *very* glad to leave him behind. Which is too bad, because he was a fascinating man, very intelligent, well-spoken (when not being crude), and philosophical at times.
