Workplace Hates

Fat Cat,

You are quite right.
It's a known fact that men perspire and women just 'glow'.

I see that on the train every day, i always hope and pray that as we hit greenhill junction at 100mph (for those who dont know this place, its where the edinburgh line and the line north seperate), the lipstick ends up half way up their face, sadly not seen that yet!!

Do you really want to see some auld doll getting off the train looking like 'The Joker'?

Leave Doorstop's little black book, out of this.

She might look like the Joker mate, but she only started laughing like that after watching you drop yer breeks the first time.

A-hm. Deodorising at work is shutting the door after the horse has bolted, because if you need to deodorise at work you've sweated already, deodorant/antiperspirant/Whatever you want to call it therefore being applied OVER dirt and sweat, and not working Itchy pits ahoy.

jodie,
Where my OH works is a man who has b.o. and doesn't wash his hands when coming out the male toilets.
Needless to say OH is dreading what things will be like in the summer weather.
Mind you I have worked with a few folk like that myself.

I once had a supervisor at Safeways who had lost her sense of smell. Let's just say a windowless cash office was not a nice place to hang out with her. Windowless cash office, smelly colleague plus vicious hangover from the night before = chundering in a plastic banking bag on more than one occasion. Them were't days...

[Bridie]

I worked in a tiny wee office which was overcrowded one person didn't like the window opened, two of them smoked, one didn't like changing his shirt too often or deodorant and the photocopier was giving off chemical smells *shudder*

[jodieohdoh]

There HAS to be something the Convention on Human Rights about all that...

[Doorstop]

Haven't you guys ever thought of getting in early and leaving a can of deodorant on the desk?

Not so subtle but it'll make your life easier as long as they take the hint.

Jodie it was a long time ago in the old days before "rights"

What is the "correct" method now of addressing the human odour problem? I mean if someone went to their manager and said "Stinky Pete in accounts has never heard of Lynx" What would happen?
