"People who smell at LGS" Topic

I was just at my LGS and one of the biggest things is people (yes plural not just one guy…) who smell…

Now I know cologne might not be right for you and your still reading the "social skills books for dummies" while your life revolves around living in your wife's/mom's basement blabbering in some unknown language but at least wear deodorant and take a shower…'cause others like me don't want to smell you half way across the game store (or right next to you…to watch a game) when you finally venture out to the only other place beyond wifey's/mommy's house.

Don't look at me funny for making an indirect remark (which I even believe that is TOO polite due to your stench…when I should tell you that you smell like @$$) like, "gosh it REALLY smells in here…" It might be rude to make a comment but man you take the cake and…guess what…

you make skunks look bad.

You might know who you are and you might not but I don't care 'cause next time I will tell you you smell like and hopefully embarrass you like crap so maybe you use that "nerd IQ" of yours for something more than just bragging how smart you are.

Funny but true :) / :(

"…you make skunks look bad."

makes me recall one of G.Carlin's lines: "…you could knock a buzzard off a -wagon." (iirc)

Or not……….Whats that smell?????????? AHHHHHHHHHHH…

Oh god, my eyes are bleeding!

Had a guy at work that was really niffy. We all talked about it until a woman finally left a jug of" Janitor in a Drum" on his desk and in a note suggested he take a shower with it before coming to work. Never had problems with him again.

Yes a horrible rant with many grammar errors (not trying to impress anyone), but yeah, at the store it gets REALLY bad. The next time I will say something.

I'm not a big clean freak but if you beat my standards than you got to smell like hell.

Yeah, my FLGS had a change of owner and location. Two weeks ago they had some statewide Magic pre-release tournament, and the funk was so bad you could practically see it. They ended up opening the doors in 95+ degF to let some non-BO air in.

I walked in, and walked right back out it was so bad, and I'm a former submariner, used to smelling a little ripe due to water conservation or quiet issues!

I may be going to Claymore on saturday (probably the biggest games show in Scotland). I try to get there early purchase lead and leave before the stench builds up too much. The worst offenders are not, as may be expected, sweaty kids, but proper grown ups! It is amazing that in this day and age, with anti perspirants and soap, people still smell so rank.
Another thing is the number of people with bad breath, I mean the smell of something crawled in there and died, you know the people who insist on speaking straight into your face from 6" away and havent used a toothbrush for 10 years.
I agree I am no angel but I do wash and brush my teeth.

People not washing their hands after going to the toilet is another of my favourite bugs.

I completely agree on the personal hygiene issue.

The one's that really upset me are those that come in dressed in old worn shorts and T-Shirts full of holes, hair and beard looking like they have never seen a comb, brush, or shampoo, and smelling like something that died a few weeks before because they don't know what soap is.

It would be nice for convention organizers to put some sort of dress code in effect, and then to enforce it. But then, I have seen con organizers that fall into the same bracket.

Go figure.
