Dude in the cube next to me at work, bare feet. Funk. Stink. YUK!

[Myrina]

This is the same clown who came to work on election day wearing a 'Mourdock for Senate' t-shirt, who wears "Religious Freedom" arm-bracelets, and who slurps his coffee, grunts, moans and sighs all day.

Lately he's been walking campus on his lunch hour & comes back to his desk, takes of his shoes (never wears socks so the aroma is extra special) and then kneels at his desk (apparently his chair is uncomfortable?) with his smelly feet sticking out for all of us to enjoy.

I talked to HR and they said I should talk to my mgr about it. Like that would go over well, since I'm pretty much the one who sits most directly close to him & he'd know it was me.

It's so damn disgusting!!! Really, who DOES shit like that? Was he raised in a barn??

1. He's not about 5'2"

portly and sporting large, hairy hobbit feet is he? Because I think that guy left here and moved out west...


And no, you may not send him back.

I think he's used to his own odor and doesn't realize it's as noticeable as you say it is, but would choose not to offend people if he knew.

6. Probably but you'd think he'd go into the mens' room & wash with soap and a towlette

... I'd just be too fucking embarassed at the potential of my shoes or feet smelling up the office to be like him. Ugggggggg ....

7. There's been extensive study on odors

There's an average time you need to be exposed to an odor for your brain to basically not use anymore resources registering it. So the OP can just hang in there, breath deep, let it waft in and in short time they won't notice anymore. Now, the downside, the brain also resets fairly quickly when the environment has changed.

5. Do you by any chance work with Sasquatch?

8. Get him a pair of Odor-Eaters

and tell him to use them or else.

9. This is a job for...

... LOTS of kidney beans, hard-boiled eggs and beer.

If he mentions it, say "Yeah, YUCKO!!! It smells like somebody's feet or something
terrible like that in here!!!"

No-no-no, don't thank me. And no charge... supplying suggestions like that is just
part of my pompously self-appointed wisdom-dispensing job.
