Has anyone on here been faced with this task?. How did you do it.

Currently in this situation. I'd leave it but I can't. It's so strong it is making me ill and making me gag, and yesterday someone else also commented on it
Thanks for this!

Buy them some nice soaps as a gift. Then maybe they would get the hint.

There's only one way and that's the hard way: You must tell them yourself. The duty has fallen upon you.

I'd add some humor. Like "hey, you don't smell like a bed of roses, but at least you're a few steps below septic tank!"

Some girl at work smelled so bad you could smell her from across the store. People talked so much **** behind her back she took a shower at least once before a shift. Or else she just washed her hair.

I just would casually say to my other coworker "whats that smell?" When she walked by.

Idk if that was mean or not.

If this person is a coworker, then get his or her supervisor to take care of it. Or be even more indirect -- mention it to your supervisor.

This reminds me of time in high school when I was working on a magazine layout with the editor-in-chief, a classmate of the Opposite Sex. She smelled so nice -- it was all I could think of. Finally, I just had to say it,

"You smell nice!"

"Thanks!"

And that was it. All that nervousness leading up to that was unnecessary.

Your case seems to be a bit different, unfortunately.

I think I.
Will go up to with a vocabulary conversation about that. New loomi all over body deodorant. You know, we're something like that. That's gonna be the same as him? If the senate, if they cry a cure thing, you're practical now you think sometimes you might have a real smell or something, try to make it look about you, but they'll don't get it. Or say that you've tried this and you've recommended to everybody try.I don't know the sex of the person that you're talking about.So kind of differenthat's what I would do

I am so sorry for the messages I've posted; I know that they don't make much sense. I was using talk to text and I have an accent so it doesn't translate my voice very well
