How do you feel about people who say they're allergic to deodorant? Can anyone verify this? I can understand if it's true but it really, really bothers me.

Well I feel like a G6

It depends. Are they Furries or Anime fans? Or LARPers?

Whats up with Cannerus being given all these titles?

I now dub you Cannerus-of-the-many-titles, enjoy.

It is possible to be allergic to deodorant.

Deodorant doesn't stop you smelling. Washing stops you smelling.

People shouldn't worry so much about the smell of an honest day's work. Just get home and take a bath.

I don't have a bath.

You get them based on kills.

And wit. XD Nice one.

The French are known for smelling.

Come on, seriously now. Think of all the people that have to encounter that un/godly man stink before reaching the destination known as home.

Also,

It would make that last few hours of work unbearable if everybody began smelling like a dead cat. Not really related to B.O. as such, just a pet peeve of mine...

I am being serious.

It's unrealistic to expect everyone to shower every hour.

People shouldn't expect everything to smell like the duty free perfume department at Harrods.

High standards, the bane of men.

At what point does it become okay for me to worry about it? Sorry, but if it's gross to me, I don't like it. What's the difference between "an honest day's work" and "I don't need to shower every day, nothing says I have to?" If someone smells, they smell, and feel free to stink all you want. If a shop asks them to leave, on those grounds they've no right to even feel embarrassed. If it's at their residence, they can stink all they want.

Id have to agree with Cannerus on that one. Stank, is stank.

Same. I agree Bunny-boo, I dislike when people smell as well.

So if you are at the mall, smelling like an animal, and wearing a tail dont be suprised if you find yourself in the animal shelter with some explaining to do.

Agreed.

But also, if you are knowingly going to a particular place, have been there before and know that there's a chance that you'd end up smelling particularly badly there...

It doesn't hurt to prepare in advance.

It also doesn't hurt that, if you are performing manual labor at your home, to take a few basic preparatory steps before heading back out into the wilds of the general public.

What I am saying is, if I get up, have a shower, go to work, and on the train home in the evening I smell sweaty because I haven't had a shower since the morning, it's just your tough luck if you don't like that.

But that's the train, nobody expects the train to be good smelling. When you also decide to go out to the GW shop (or the LGS) without showering after being at work all day and then getting on the train... there's a problem.

If you're just dropping in to pick something up after a day at work or while you're on your way home, it's also a totally different story than just plopping down for a tournament/multiple games after a long day at work and a train ride to GW/FLGS.

I find it terrifying to be agreeing with Melissia.

Wait...So I should work all day long ,then,instead of popping into the LGS (or indeed any store) on the way home,go all the way home,shower and then go back out again?

...No,I don't see that happening,if I've been busting my hump all day and need to stop off and grab some paint or a mini,then the kid who's lifted nothing heavier than a video game control all day can just deal with my funk til I leave the store.

I don't think that's what she's saying, Fitzz.

I think she's meaning more like if you actually went home, did whatever, and then went back out into proper society.

Ah...ok,well yes of course, if one has gone home,and knows they smell less than fresh they should have the good graces to clean up before heading back out into the world.

Actually, yes, that is what I'm saying. If you're going to spend hours at a social gathering, the least you could do is not smell like a combination of ass and armpit.

Fitzz isn't saying spending hours at a social gathering.

He's talking about going by the shop and picking up paints, a model or two, etc on his way home. No more time spent amongst the populace as necessary.

Which is acceptable.

Marginally.
