The pits

By speedstick - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I received an anonymous letter telling me that I smell bad, and suggesting that I wear more deodorant. Apparently my BO is so bad that someone feels the need to stalk me to point it out. FML

Don't flatter yourself. You're not being stalked. They didn't want to have to get close enough to say it to your face. It would have been awkward to find a pole long enough to attach the note to, and they didn't have a megaphone.

Leaving you a note isn't stalking you. Don't get mad at others because you happen to smell like shit.

Ok, for the fools that think she "could" be getting stalked; Who the hell is going to stalk someone that smells a zoo? Not a very good technique to win someone over. Obviously it's an ongoing issue that was intended to be brought up in a non-confrontational way.

they probably just didn't know how to tell you. don't flatter yourself.. who would stalk someone with BO?

OK, Most people on here have actually given you the wrong advice. You need Deodorant that is also an Ainti-Perspirant, or it is just not enough. Deodorant alone is just going to make a mixed smell of BO and perfume. Some people have a disease that makes them smell, no matter what they do, hope that is not the case, but if it was, you'd have been diagnosed by now, surely? Anyways, more good true advice from an Adult for you: Shower everyday, sure, everyone said that (common sense), but I notice alot of "smelly guys" are guys who do sports or work out and do not shower again after, you must. Alot of men start losing their smelling once they are middle aged+, they think they have lost their BO abilities just because they cannot smell it anymore (common) so someone who cares for them has to tell them. Dry off very week after every shower, wash all jackets that are stinking in your closet, replace stinky shoes, dry your feet well and take care of them, callusses and gross stuff hold bacteria and start to smell, wash clothes before rewearing, always wear socks with closed toed shoes, use deodorant bodywash/soap as well and make sure you are not using a moldy towel or letting clothes go moldy in the wash or dryer then wearing them...oh and make SURE you are not one of those people who smells like their stinky house, dog, ferret or whatever animals you have...Good Luck!

Re: "Dry off very week after every shower" ...That is an obvious typo, sorry. I meant to say Every Time, Anti-Perspirant, and I apologise in advance for anything else I typoed. lol ;P

OP, that is not stalking. Perhaps you should buy a dictionary along with some soap, laundry detergent, and anti-perspirant.

you just stink and probably smell like shit. disgusting!!!!!!

First, you were not "stalked". Someone did you a favor by pointing something out that you have become immune to. Have more respect for yourself. Your body is your temple. If you don't love yourself, who will love you?
