The B.O. Guy


If you need an explanation...

Two days in a row. Yesterday I go to my local corner store for the newspapers (apparently me and two other people still buy newspapers!) and my 20 oz. coffee. Little jam-up at the the coffee area (read all about it here) and some personal space is being violated, mostly mine.

Some big oaf comes in, dressed in business casual, must be on his way to crunch some numbers. Stands next to me and...

"WHAT FREAKIN" DIED IN HERE" I think. Rough. Smelly. Bad B.O.!

I move quickly to the counter to escape, but it's like one of those Pepe Le Pew, dead skunk in the road moments. Even in my car, I have the smell attached to my nostrils. Driving in 28 degree weather with the windows open to rid myself of that taint.

So this morning I go in again and THERE HE IS! I walk down a couple of aisles of cat food, cold medicine and gardening gloves to make sure I steer clear, which I do.

I don't know how people could stand themselves in the days of weekly bathing.
