Gagging over someone's body odor, LOL

[alexikiss]

My apartment manager has the worst body odor. He either smells like garlic or body odor (armpit) or a mixture of both. I hate when he has to come over for any reason, because he leaves a lingering cloud of funk. He just came by to check out a problem I have with my smoke alarm and he smelled awful. After he left, I was outside throwing out the trash, still thinking about it, and I got the sudden urge to gag. It made me anxious. I've been trying to distract myself because I know most of it is in my head. He has to come back next week to install the new alarm and I'm thinking, great.

I figured I'd post about it here to try to find some humor in the situation. Does anyone here get anxious when they smell certain odors because it makes them nauseous?

I can't say as I have ever been in this exact predicament. But I have hated smells before. Since you know he is coming get some really good candles burning or something and frebreeze for when he leaves. Maybe you csn at least mask smell. Maybe accidentally spray him lol

Many times! My biggest issue with the smell of something making me gaggy is smelling exhaust from a car or truck. I quickly feel sick, headachy, and nauseated. I have also wanted to gag over people's BO. Once was when i was on vacation in Germany, our hotel housekeeper left her funk for what seemed like hours! I also used to have a stinky maintenance man who stunk too... it was bad. How do these people not smell themselves??

Good idea, MichelleS. I think I will burn some of my roommate's incense while he is here. I usually can't stand the smell of that either, but I'd rather smell like I'm in some hippie's love den than his ripe odor.

Charzy, I actually enjoy the smell of exhaust, LOL. This apartment manager has an accent and is from another country, not sure which one...Eastern Europe, I'm guessing? I was actually going to ask but that would have involved using more oxygen. I don't understand how people are not aware of themselves!
