This actually happened at the first job I was at - some odd little 40 year old historian buff, straight out of mother's basement came and did a few months work experience with us - he stank. His keyboard was gakky, he had terrible BO and to boot he was a social retard.
We smelled, we mulled we and complained amongst ourselves - eventually my superior just decided to tell him - she took him aside, mentioned it discretely - and guess what? Next day, he'd evidently had a shower and was making a bit more effort to integrate himself.
The flipside was that he did somewhat overcompensate with the Brut (or whatever Made in China brand it was).
Your call - is it to be an offensive nasal assault of a natural flavour or a chemical one?

- When he's not looking, dig into his mobile, phone his mum and tell her he needs a wash. Pretend to be your boss with your best Old Etonian accent.
- Bury down your disgust. In 3 months, snap - frenetically stabbing him in the nostrils.
- If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Don't wash, eat loads of raw garlic, rub yourself with cheese, cycle to work and don't wipe after number 2s.

Did the boss do anything, k0na?

(Nov 6 07, 08:10)I guess the boss sat him down in his office and had a talk with him about it. I have no idea how he put things during the meeting but soon after I left the company for a new place so I don't know how it went.
The next day he came in and it was better but it didn't last long. The guy was just so overweight I don't think he could help it.
Axe body spray in this instance would be acceptable. But then it would smell like Axe and Ass. Not good.

It's a delicate situation for sure. My suggestion is upon meeting anyone who smells rank to point them out to the crowd, and at a loud decibel level exclaim how foul the odor is that emanates from them at such a high quantity my olfactory senses want to cry.
Though to be fair, this happened once in my office but it was with a woman who wore Patchuloia. I simply told her one time that I personally hate the smell of it, I think it is vile, and reminds me of dirty hippies - so if she could please at least tone that motherfucker down a few notches maybe I wouldn't want to jump out of my 4th story window because the smell of that shit makes me want to break something and/or injure myself.
I think she thought I was joking, but then finally people went to HR about it. The thing is, I hardly, if ever, had any interaction with her. But it would seriously put me in a horrible mood, and that was not like me ... so I just kind of stopped coming into work ...
Now she stopped doing that apparently, but who knows, I am so used to not being at my desk it really was a blessing.
