So I'm studying in the library RIGHT NOW for my last final tomorrow morning. Seats are all taken. A particularly large African-American male comes to sit next to me.
He
fucking
STINKS
But I can tolerate it, I'm not a bitch. So I'm going to keep studying.
He opens up skype, makes a video call. Obnoxious hip-hop music ensues as the caller on the other line comes up. He has enough decency to lower the volume, but not enough consideration for people who are studying to put on a pair of headphones so we don't hear his conversation. Oh yeah, its a girl he's talking to so I assume that he started to sweat and excrete even more bullshit from his pores, holy shit.
Sick to my stomach. Sorry for ranting, but who here isn't bothered by people like this? It gets me "mad aggy" as he would say. I can feel the waves and waves of stench coming from him. I want to tell him politely that he's bothering me with his open sound skype call with his "boo".
I'm such a nice guy. I'm just going to walk away, I have more important things to do than to lash out at fools in the middle of the library @_@.

Careful. For some people it's not just a matter of putting on deodorant. They know they stink they just can't do anything about it. You can't ask them to avoid public places their whole lives.

Not saying it justifies bothering people by talking on skype...

I actually worked with people who researched this, that's pretty cool.

Oh this blog is funny on so many levels.
|
bear with it. You and he cant change how he smells so bear with it.

I stink like an onion .. LOL
|
Duuuude, this link totally made my day, thanks!
On the topic of the blog, yea people who stink kinda suck but does anyone else feel like if you sit around a certain stank long enough you stop noticing it? Like when a hobo sits next to you on the bus it sucks at first but by the end of the bus ride I don't even notice it that much.
|
I hate it when that kind of shit happens.
|
Nothing is worse then getting on a bus and a bunch of Indians or people from that area of the world come in. Most of them have the decency to use deodorant, but their is always one that literally smells like un wiped ass and he is so close to me it kills me inside.

Can you guys drop the racist shit, geeze.
(I know you probably aren't trying to be racist and it's only minorly racist, but it's incendiary without serving a purpose).
|
Honestly I love everybody equally. People of all shapes and smells. I just hate terrorists. Smelly terrorists. Next time someone doesn't use headphones I highly suggest busting out your phone and spamming the Starcraft 2 Terran theme song ringtone. That'll show em'.
|
and then you walk up to a friend to vacate, and he's like dude, you smell whack.
And you are like damn you stinky guy damn you.
Yeah fuck that shit.
There was always products to reduce smell, some aren't cheap but really, BO this day and age is pretty unacceptable at all levels cept old cat ladies and homeless bums.

For some reason, people of African descent always have a particular smell to them, at least to me. It's really quite strange, even though I am completely neutral to race.

Your nose gets used to any smell fast enough. Were you never a teenager?

Guys, don't label the OP as racist so quickly.
He has merely made observations and correct ones at that i assume
He isn't suggesting that african americans should be segrgated into a different library because they stink .

God, are you trying to get me banned? Do you know how much self-control it takes to resist the temptation of this softball?
OP, I recommend in this situation that you grab the nearest textbook firmly with both hands, whisper to him that he stinks, and take a nice quick swing at the back of his head. You might spend the night in a cell, but think of the benefit you would be doing for society. Take one for the team.

I was actually going to post about this issue sorta.
What I was going to say is that with more different races, the smell is more likely to be noticeable than among more similar races. While some people naturally sweat and/or smell more or less than others, as well as shower/bathe more or less than others, they still might seem to smell stronger if they are someone of another race, just due to our biology.
Anyway, on another note, there's only two experiences I've had of bothersome smell... one in grades 8-9 there was a classmate that was very smelly, not sure if it was a cleaning issue or what, but it was an annoying scent (I think calling any human scent unbearable is ridiculous).
The second was in college, some guy was wearing an absolutely TERRIBLE anti-antiperspirant or deodorant, or something like that, and he must have been wearing a lot of it. It smelled really nasty, it was so ridiculously annoying. I really can't stand how much some people add scents to themselves when they are too strong or bad-smelling; it's so much worse than someone with strong Body Odor.

ZOMG that made me rofl...
In a serious note.. i HATE when people even talk in the library let alone smell and talk at the same time in a close proximity.
It's ok that you didnt tell him he stunk be4 walking away, you were probably intimidated due to his race and you being a white sc2 player (hence u are probably a bit nerdy... as we all are don't let any1 fool you).
My general response to this sort of situation =
I get up and loudly announce (not yell, but in a firm voice so that i know my intended target can hear me) "Seriously? What the fuck..." and i start shaking my head, and as i am walking away i shoot a glance and make eye contact with them.
Or I just call some1 on my cellphone and am like "some people are just so fucking rude" as i pack my things and leave the library. I usually dont look at them when I do this one, because I want them to think to themself as i walk away "is he talking about me?"
If you do the 2nd one and are nervous that they will confront you just started nodding and saying "i know right" into the phone after your previous statement so when confronted u can say u were talking about the person on the phone and what they were saying.

Wow!1 So passive aggressive. How about just turning to the offending gentleman and asking them to please vacate said area, as the facility is designed for silent study. Suggest, perhaps, an outdoor venue where the local fauna may appreciate the richness of presence. When he asks you to explain you can point to your books, intimate that you wish to sudy and that his presence is not welcome.
Alternatively, you can always grab your deo, hand it to him and point to the door but this doesn't always end well.
Probably better to go with option A.

my roommate smells pretty bad usually, so I keep the window open and the Febreze close at hand.. he has really horrific BO when he works out lol
|
There is a guy who always uses the library computers and he looks and smells like hes homeless. It's awful.
|
I think about this sometimes. I wonder whether my race is one that objectively is less odorous, or to what degree races are used to their own scent and don't notice it, so that maybe I might have a racial smell too. Heavier people are probably more prone to BO, too.
|
I just realized how my post could have sounded racist. I'm not racist =_= I come from a very diverse neighborhood so I don't judge people heavily because of their race.
Be one thing for sure was the fact that he STANK. OMFG after I made this blog, he started flapping his arms around so even more waves of toxic fumes were released. So yeah needless to say I got the hell out of there.
Quite honestly I felt physically drained after sitting next to him. Maybe I have a sensitive nose or something, but I really didn't feel well after that ordeal.

Are you the same Snuggles that called into the new Wheat show?

worst is at tournaments
1 example was in my 2nd tournament EVER (for vanilla sf4). i hear my name and this random kid and we go to the corner to play at. normally players play on a chair with the arcade stick on their lap, but i usually put my stick down on the floor and sit legs spread. So this fucker comes up and he's not even 15 feet from me but i can already smell him. it was like the dude purposely didn't take a shower for 2 weeks to get the opponent annoyed. so i'm on the floor and this guy sits with his fat smelly body right next to my face. at that point i didn't even care if i won or lost, but to get the fuck away from him. after i won the first game, he even decides to "yawn" and i swear a green mist was coming out from his armpits. he then counterpicks my character (he was ryu, then switched to honda vs. me viper) and beats me 2-1. i shake his hand, find my friend and give him my stick and run like my name is usain to the bathroom to wash my hands off with bleach.
so yea long story short, in tournaments smelly gamers fucking suck
edit: i played a fat smelly white kid. and no offense to any competitive doujin players (melty blood, arcana heart, blazblue etc.) but those guys fucking smell like shiet (at least over here).

The difference between an interesting blog and a racist blog is 1 adjective. Take out the word African-American and nobody says a thing. Just a grammar lesson for you all. Be careful which adjectives you use because some of them are racist.
