When someone really stinks in public?

[ws23jrt]

I found out today.
I was 15 feet from anybody in a supermarket today and got a whiff of body and urine odor that had a sharp tinge that makes one gasp.
The person in front of me at checkout (gender not known) spent way too much time with the credit card machine and I had to back out of the aisle 10 ft. to wait as the checkers tried to hold a poker face themselves.
This person bought lots of stuff beyond food and after much trouble with the card machine got a big cash back.
This person then took their huge cloud of stink and back pack to the sit down place for feeding in the store.
I escaped with a scar that moved me to post about it.

While I waited at distance I could see two checkers and a bagger doing their best to hold up. It was in their faces without question.

WTF does one do as a stranger to help in a situation like this? -If anything--All I wanted to do was move away asap. I am left with a bad smell memory that rivals the worst.

Was in dry cleaning business 50 years ago. We had a woman customer very over weight she'd come in and the smell would make you gag. Being over weight is no excuse.

 

[khryslerkid]

Lol, I've been there.

There use to be a guy in town that was a hog farmer. Why every time I went to the grocery store with my mom, this guy would be in line ahead of us. Intense to say the least!

We had a few guys that would go to breakfast/coffee in the morning. Were in there and I was at end of table. From behind a awful smell two guy sat at the table almost behind me. Kinda look around for smell their feet were cover in manure.

I worked with this guy years and years ago , he smelled like crap ,poop,number 2 ,s***. All the freaking time I swear he never bothered to wipe his *** or even go to a bathroom for that matter . He worked as a garbage man before he came in to work nights as a grocery stocker . So I thought it was just the garbage so I was nice towards him he was trying to support a family had two jobs OK I get it. But when he came in to work one day I was coming around the corner when he was punching in his hand was down his pants scratching his *** , and Yup poop came back out on his fingers. I swear I about threw up. He wiped his hands on his pants and went to work! I had to fire him as we worked in a grocery store and that is very un hygienic we even had it on film to show him . He wasn't fat ether ,I truly don't know how people think that's OK to be dirty I felt bad for the fat ones until I found out one was like that because she didn't want to work so she got fat to get disability from the government. Meanwhile me with a legitimate problem can't get disability to help pay for bills because of my back injury but some fat lady gets lots of government help and free food stamps I'm sorry if your obese and your getting government assistance you should be forced to work out at a gym to loose the weight not give them food stamps to get them fatter .

Uhhhh....
I know a guy that has a huge pot belly. He has a hard time putting on a seat belt. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for a fat person to adequately wash themselves. You can't just stroll through a car wash, right?
Hey...Remember in those "found" emails from John Podesta? He was quoted as saying that Hillary Clinton smelled like a combination of boiled cabbage, urine and farts. She isn't even fat. What is her excuse?

Being a Democrat!

you guys wouldn`t believe the fat people on stamps, in a gov. funded apartment project. I had to work on them a couple of times when my jobs (plumbing) weren`t ready, they destroy everything , tear out the plbg. fixtures to sell them, then crap and urinate in the empty apartments. Everyone w/ that company hated going over there to work. You would have to see it to believe it ! the gov. paid that company 3 times over the yrs to overhaul those apartments.

I believe you. I spent 7 months for as a contractor to Housing NZ - near enough free state housing for useless bastards. The **** i saw as an Electrician turned my stomach at times. Repairing stoves and ovens that had so much dried up grease down the sides that they were stuck to the walls. Walls punched or kicked in. Strange round burn marks on a lot of stove tops. Hot water cylinder cupboards used as drying rooms for their weed. Filth in the entire house. Dog **** on furniture.....Cockroaches running all over the place - walls ceiling, living in smoke detectors.....Everything pretty much trashed. I went to some places on more than one occasion for the same thing - wasn't that I din't fix it right.....it's the tenants were just that violent and disgusting that they wrecked everything. I had enough over the New Year period, when I had done 42 callouts over the 4 days.
Sick and tired of repairing stuff for people who don't give a rat's ***.

The final straw was trying to save the life of a two year boy who had been beaten to death by his Mother's boyfriend. Didn't end well.

I forgot to add that the boyfriend mentioned above was black, probably the equivalent of a Dem, and will NOT be eligible to vote for at least 19 years

I have ran across a few in my time, what is equally difficult for me is people who use a gallon of cheap perfume.

Your post about the little boy reminded me of this.
I went to a rental owned by my landlord at the time to fix a plumbing problem as a favor.
I knocked on the door and a little boy answered. He looked to be about 5 or so. His first words were---My dad didn't beat me. I fell down.
This poor kid had many large bruses and black eyes with old cuts still healing. His dad came to the door and started to tell me about how much of a klutz is stupid kid was.
I always wondered what that kid had to endure for answering the door. Sad and sick
I always regret that I did not call someone to help this kid. ( I was 18 at the time).

If I knew that little boy is alive and well today it would give me peace from the memory.

Then there are those who do this on purpose. My wife's brother when he was around nine, would revel at farting when the family was around. After he got a little older he would walk into another room, and let one loud enough to be heard by the family. That was very early seventies. Fast forward to this fall. He now is 64-ish and was in town, with his teen aged son, from Florida. We were all eating, when his son dropped a dime on him. He said his dad likes to shop, and goes into an empty isle, lets a fart off, then goes down to then end, and watch for some un suspecting shopper to get gassed. Are you kidding me ? I don't hate the guy, I tolerate him because of the wife.
