A collegue at work, who just got moved temporarily to my site really smells. There's no denying it, and i'm not the only one who notices it.
He obviously doesn't shower before he comes into work (stale sweat is not nice), neither does he brush his teeth....so obvious is it, that i can't talk to the guy because having him breathe in my direction makes me want to puke.
He's a Slovak, and for some reason 'subtlety' (like saying "your breath smells dude" ) has no effect other than making him think we're having a joke.....what do we do ?
I am thinking about telling him there's been complaints about him, and maybe bringing in a can of Lynx for him to use while he's around me.....any tips for dealing withthe great unwashed ?
Thanks in advance 😛

Beat him with a bar of soap in a sock. Maybe he'll get the irony.

Last time I did it (only done it the once), we had to punch him in the gut a few times to make him give up the fight.
Lets just say, he made sure he showered ever day after that happened.

Take a bar of soap, and stick legs and arms on it. Make a face with marker, or cut out some colored construction paper.
Put him on a horse made from a stick of deodorant.
You can also make a guy out of a tube of toothpaste, and have him holding a brush like he's sweeping the floor.
Big shoes and a funny hats are a must!!

Originally posted by AThousandYoungHmmmm. Maybe a bit less confronting, but still clear; send him an email in a very constructive and nice context. You can do this anonymously from a free obscure email service or such, if you think this is better (for you).

It might not be the most charming thing you can do, but everyone benefits, especially the targeted person who will not be made fun anymore, if he picks it up.
