WTF is wrong with people? I was in a queue today at the restaurant in Oulton Park and the bloke in front of me absolutely reeked like he hadn't washed for days, normal looking bloke, middle aged and absolutely stank, you could see people standing as far away from him as possible.
A bloke I worked with when I was a student at IKEA admitted to only washing properly on a Sunday, my god by the Saturday shift you literally couldn't stand near him, it genuinely was eye watering and nobody said anything to him not even his line managers.
Do people not give a s
t, are they oblivious, lazy...?
It's fking disgusting.

He may have an illness, he may have been in hot, sweaty racing overalls and had a shower that morning or something else.
Chances are he was aware but what can he do if he's not near a shower!
But, yes, some people are disgusting.
This was a spectator and yes he was disgusting.Chances are he was aware but what can he do if he's not near a shower!

If it's fresh sweat, it doesn't smell that much. 95% of the people at my gym don't smell even when they're soaked in sweat and heading towards the changing rooms. It's stale sweat that smells - the bacteria has had a chance to fester and is emitting the odour you smell.
I've also noticed that it depends on the food you eat. Not just the obvious eg eating garlic, curries or too many beers but also too much protein. From observation, you can smell "musty" (somewhere between milk that's gone off and cellars hiding a rotting corpse) if you eat too much meat or protein shakes.
It also depends on the deodorant. Some deodorants work much better than others.

Some people genuinely don't know and are unaware of their odouressness (made up word 
) He could be like me in that I have a dreadful sense of smell, so have to be pretty thorough about my cleanliness, just to ensure nobody around me gets upset!
Equally, some people just have very different reference points. I guess it applies to most people in one way or another, just that the personal hygiene one is hard work for most of us. ) He could be like me in that I have a dreadful sense of smell, so have to be pretty thorough about my cleanliness, just to ensure nobody around me gets upset! I sometimes work with someone who has all the aces on this front & it is hard work at times. They almost never see the issue though and a minefield in terms of pointing out in a helpful and sympathetic way.
I used to have a good mate who had a bacterial problem with his feet, when he was around twenty years old., he was smart, always showered, dressed well, but when he came into a pub he nearly cleared it...
...A sweaty foul smell which I can't even begin to describe....
This went on for around two years, and I honestly didn't think he realised he had a problem, but one day I plucked up the courage to mention it.
He was slightly offended, but when other friends mentioned it too, he realised he had to do something......fast!.
He went to the docs, he advised him to bathe his feet two or three times a day, and change his (cotton) socks twice a day.
Unfortunately, this did not cure the problem, so he went back again, and the doctor put him on some tablets or cream...I'm not sure, but after about two weeks the eventually problem went away........Happy days.....

Did you smell okay after that?...A sweaty foul smell which I can't even begin to describe....This went on for around two years, and I honestly didn't think he realised he had a problem, but one day I plucked up the courage to mention it.

I used to play in a team with a guy who was a nice bloke but fecking stank big time.
He got the name Smelly Frank which then turned into Smezer. Whenever he showed some silky skills etc people would shout things like ' another Right Guard moment ' or ' a touch of the Lynx effect ' to him.
This went on all season, however the next season he didn't smell one bit. I suppose he realised what a dirty bastid he was and started having a shower etc.
