I got one for ya...
So there I am, the first week of school, going to lab. I have an electronics lab tuesdays and thursdays that lasts 2 1/2 hours. Anyway, I get there and I am assigned a new lab partner. I will withhold his name to protect the innocent. Well, we got started and right away I knew there was going to be problems. First off, I don't have many pet-peaves, and I like to think that I can work with about anyone. This comes from years in the Army having to learn to work with many different people with many different personalities. There is one thing that I cannot stand, though. People who stink. Have you ever lived or worked with someone who just stinks? Whether it is B.O. , whether they appear to have never heard of a toothbrush, or even if it is just a mystery stink, it drives me crazy! So anyway, we get working and already this dude is bothering me. Then, when he turns to talk to me, his breath almost knocks me over. I swear somebody died in his mouth. Not only did this dude have nasty trash breath, his B.O. was horrid. Being the good trooper that I am I just smiled and endured for 2 hours until the lab was over, after which I went home and took a shower just in case any of it got on me.
These people make me wonder. Do they not realize how bad their problem is? Did nobody teach them how to brush their teeth growing up? Did nobody teach them the importance of showers and deoderant? I can't go a day without washing myself and brushing my teeth. I just feel nasty. How others do it is beyond me, but it truly is one of the very few things that makes me want to hurl.
Fortunatly for me somebody must have said something to him, because it hasn't been a probem since.

I wonder if it's possible for people to not realize how repulsive they can smell. I wonder because I've met several individuals that seem to be oblivious to their own body odors. Are these people actually unaware of the wrinkled noses around them, or do they thrive on it?
