Today, it's the fifth day in a row my workmate has worn the exact same clothing. We share the desk. I'm absolutely positive he hasn't hit the shower since last weekend. FML

Same thing different taste

Douse him with Febreze and liquid soap. I guarantee he'll get the idea pretty quickly.

Maybe invest in one of those decorative air fresheners and point it in his direction

This FML hits home for me! You can't tell me you have the same bleach spot in all your shirts!

I tend to wear the same few attires at work.. but I always wash them and shower everyday. I just don't have enough work clothes lol. it could be the same situation

This is suspiciously similar to someone at my work place, I don't know his shower habits, but he does wear the exact Zane shirt long periods of times, and shares a desk...

He might not have any money and be squatting somewhere.

it's an easy fix, pee in a cup, go behind this person, and pour the pee on his back. once the pee dries it gets sticky and a God awful smell, thus forcing him to shower. you are welcome

Maybe he is homeless, living in his car.

Oh dang!I would just recommend bringing either a can of febreeze or put in as many plug ins as you can!

Maybe he lost his home, and is living out of his car? Ever think maybe it's not his choice that he's wearing the same clothes and not showering?

I was in a similar situation like that, OP. I'm in a math class and I was put by a kid who had excessive body odor and wore the same clothes every single day. I was a little bit irritated being placed by him, and I was extremely close to asking the teacher (no, begging her) to please move me somewhere else. I casually mentioned him to a friend of mine and she told me his story, and how he doesn't have access to clean water or something like that. Immediately I felt like a jerky girl. I guess you can't really judge someone without knowing their story.
