Smelly people

I've been on a bus several times lately and on each occasion had smelly people sitting by me and when I say dirty I don't mean their clothes.

If everyone else can smell them why doesn't the offender?

It really was awful so much so you won't see me on the bus again in a hurry!

They are used to their own smell?

On EACH occasion? Wow that was unlucky.

It's as Muddy says - they are used to their own smell.

I use buses sometimes - never had a smelly person sitting next to me thank goodness..

Yes twice in a week. One was a very large man who had thick joggers on, the other was a youngish woman again very much over weight wearing the black lyrca type pants. It was in the heat wave so you can only but imagine what it was like.

Re: Smelly people

Hi

I do not use Public transport, but I agree it can be a big problem.

I bathe twice a day, cannot shower, must keep one ear and one eye dry.

One of the medications I was on caused flushes, my shirt would literally be soaked in a couple of minutes.

I am very aware now that profuse sweating could have a medical cause.

Worst place for pongs is the London Underground in a heatwave. A rancid mix of sweat, perfume and aftershave....ugh

I haven't used public transport, except a plane, for a very long time. I can't say I have noticed any smelly people when I have done so.
