Popular Post Old Croc Posted February 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2019 9 hours ago, Just Weird said: Long journeys or adrenaline don't smell, stale unwashed sweat does. I actually said "long journeys without access to bathing facilities". Changing a quote to give a different meaning is against the rules of this forum. Also, to avoid making incorrect statements, you could try doing some research about the smell of adrenaline. The smell is released when the person is stressed and sweating so you got something partially right. Your personal dislike of me shouldn't make you sink to making dumb posts. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dictionary.com the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning:the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.

I worked in a bldg in Abidjan, Ivory Coast West Africa in 1994, was escorting three laborers and about twenty cases of copy paper in an elevator, the elevator was overloaded and stopped halfway up, we were stuck and they started to sweat, then they started to panic and they sweated more, .........when security finally cranked that elevator up enough to pry the doors open the stench was enough to gag a maggot. I rolled out, puked, said FuggIt, and went home for 3 days. I tell people you haven't lived unless you have lived thru an episode like that, you can survive anything after that experience..............the only ones that will know what I am talking about are the ones that have lived and worked with Africans............????

Obviously, you have never been obliged to sit next to some one who stinks to high heaven - simply because he/she hasn't kept themselves clean. It is a foul, vomit inducing stench. To have multiple people smelling the same would be horrendous! I don't care if they're feeding family and kids - what's that got to do with hygeine? I was on a plane from Frankfurt to Bangkok, stopped in New Delhi, Federali's escorted an Australian lady on the plane, lucky me, they put her right next to me - last row on airplane - that woman stinker to high heaven..........took off her shoes, and my god, I've smelled dead bodies that wasn't as bad as that...........she said she was a Hippy, and lived in India for 3 years in an ashram, and her parents demanded she be brought home (she ran away at 15 to go with her boyfriend to India) - Australian embassy had her deported - I always travel with the little green bottle of eucalyptus Thai's rub under their nose, I passed to the German folks in from of me. Stewardist came and got the gal and her stuff and we never saw her again, I joked they probably gave her a parachute over Pakistan. I suspect she hadn't bathed in the three years she was in India. ???????????????? Edited February 14, 2019 by TunnelRat69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexRich Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I’ve been to India several times and as much as I like the place it did appear that many locals were oblivious to their own body odour ... the smell can be overpowering if you are stuck in a confined space like a lift. This story does not not surprise me at all, and the Indian tourists will be dumbfounded by it all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watcharacters Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 The biggest defenders of stinking are those opposed to using a proper deodorant. Showers with soap are great but nothing combats the bacteria on the underarms like deodorant. Of course, if an adult hasn't figured that out on his own, he or she will never learn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
