If someone had a foul body odor would you tell them?!


Question: My boss smells like *** all the time. I don't like to stand by her when people are around because they might think it's me. Could I tell her without being rude? It's really bad.

As a manager, I have told people they have an odor problem and 99% of them said they were not aware of it and most thanked me for telling them. It is a very difficult thing to do, but like I said, most thanked me and took care of the problem.

take a shower please.

I have a lot of friends like that but im too afraid to tell them... but i did leave one of them a note and sighned it annonamise... (idk how to spell it) and after tat she got a lot better!!!!

lol ......... i mean you could pull her to the side and say nicely that she has a smell to her that isnt the best and tell her ur tellingher because u dont want people to talk about her..

try bringing a magazine (with a deodorant ad) to work and just look though it, then say o i might try that i heard it smells really good

and maybe she will take the hint!

omg i had the same problem we tried to tell this girl she stinks by talkin bout soap n deodrant n clean clothes in front of her but i dont think she caught on ... that is so hard to tell somebody but i guess u can say.. i dont mean to be rude but u smell like butt lol na idk tell her that she has a weird odor lol

try hinting it at her like saying "What smells so grossss!?" when you stand next to her. she'll get the hint, but you won't have to confront her

yes or i would just stay away from then

lol just come out and tell her or if u dont like to confront people let her know through and email or a note but she needs to be told asap

Theres a proper way to do it. Tell your boss may be different, it's not like she's a good friend and will appreciate it or even if she got uspet, a friend would get over it. Maybe you could make up a story about someone else bit its really her and tell her, she may get the hint. Lol or just drop hints all day (whats that smell !??!) (

I would try to hint around giving her a secret pal gift of perfumes and lotions or for her birthday give her something like that so maybe she will use it. Your in a tough spot there good Luck with that.

Do you have a bosses boss, or a human resources department? Tell HR, because it could be a sign of illness. If you are truly the only one that can tell her, then advise her that you are concerned for her health, because strong bodily odors can indicate illness. This may be an acceptable way to approach the subject.

Another way that might work would be to ask her if she could advise you of a non-offensive way to tell a co-worker that she had an apparent hygiene problem.

yes you shoul dtell them, because sometimes people become so used to there own smel they truly can not tell when they are ofending someon else...she would probably appreciate you if you tell her in a non hurtful way, just pull her aside(never say it in front of everyone else) and just tell her gently, ive been noticing a peculiar smell when ever your around, and people are beginning to talk, but i knw your a good person, and i just wanted to let you knw, that you may want to rty a new deoderant or perfume, because you dont smell that good. she may be mad, sad, or seem to ignor eyou, but its something she will definitley begin to improve and be concious of, because no one wants to smell bad.
