I once got stuck on a plane for an 11 hour overseas flight with a very smelly person next to me. The smell was like the person never showered. During dinner, this person decided it was a good time to clip his fingernails. He was grossing everyone out when his nail clippings were rocketing around fellow passengers as they tried to eat. Worse flight ever!
I worked for a guy that stank bad. Breath, BO, likely fecal odor and schmegma. Sorry had to say it. It was horrible. He owned the business. Would gag from him.
His eyeglasses were covered in built up gunk in the edges. How do you not notice that? His lunch was always on his tie. Disgusting pig.
Once I had earned my designation, I began challenging him on his professional errors and outdated knowledge. and finally He breached our contract, thereby nullifying the non-compete clause. Took my accounts with me and later sold the book for a tidy profit.

In Korea the Korean Augmentation United States Army, Soldiers (KATUSA'S) would be at the front of the Formation when we went for our runs. It smelled of B.O. and Kimchi. If you went out drinking the night before it was pretty dangerous.
We had to use communal showers in the Army in Korea. The first day I went to take a shower there. There were approximately 6 or 7 KATUSA's in the shower. There was a lot of steam, and it smelled Bad.
Also, they were washing each other. I was freaked the f out. I left to shower later, much later.
My old man played rugby through the grades up to provincial rep in the 50's. No stink like a Maori forward pack he reckoned, and he was no racist.
I flatted with Malaysian Indians in London. Tasty food but hells bells on my BO.
The world gets smaller all the time, specially with all the upheaval in the Middle East these days, new smells coming your way.

Okay explain something to me... I get the stink and the rocketing of finger nails - that is gross. But what if I'm minding my own business at my desk clipping a quick nail or two over my trash bin and a coworker comes over and says, "I didn't know we do that here." Huh? I don't see the issue. I'm in my own space and have to listen to your noise pollution all day. Get out of my box!
I got nothin. I'm with you, I don't see how discreet clippage could be an issue.
Your answer might've been, "whelp, we do, and now you know!!'
We need a "public personal behavior" thread... hmmm...
I'm not starting that one. Uh-uh, no sir, that could get ugly.
got a habit you don't want us to know about??
Well, I do have to admit that I like sticking Kool Whip up my nose, but don't tell anyone okay.got a habit you don't want us to know about??
Heavy beer drinkers usually have an odor to them. I've smelled a similar, but different odor on people who drink a lot of liquor.
My adult daughter recently told me "you smell just like grandpa!" I was like, "ugghhhh!" She said, "what, I liked his smell." To me it was Old Man Smell.
Does anybody know how to turn off Old Man Smell???
It's almost always your aftershave. Smell is attached to memory more than any other sense. And girls always remember the smells of their father, grandfather, first boyfriend etc. Try using just soap and water after a shave. Then go out and ask the pretty girl behind the cologne counter what she likes on her boyfriend. The last time I did that I wound up with a bottle of Davidoff Cool Water. My wife like that stuff so much I have to be careful when I put it on.
Or you could just enjoy that it is a fond memory of your daughter's and roll with it.
Slo, I am really sensitive to smells. Weird human smells are a total distraction for me.
