Today, my grandmother sat me down and gave me a talk about the importance of personal hygiene. According to her, it's important that I shower twice a day, because, "Fat people tend to have a most curious smell about them." FML

Today, my grandmother told me my favorite top had a permanent smell of BO, despite my constant deodorant use. I wear the top to work just about every shift. I now realize all the weird little comments my coworkers have made are actually hints to go take a shower. FML

Today, my grandma and I went shopping. When I picked up some shower gel, she started ranting in front of everyone that shower gel injures one's "lady parts" and causes infertility, and that she wants me to give her great-grandchildren. FML

Today, my mom yelled at me because even though I shower thoroughly twice a day, I still stink. My mom showers once a week, never wears deodorant, and smells like roses. FML

Today, I had to have a serious talk with my new girlfriend about her terrible hygiene. In the two weeks we’ve been dating, she admitted to only having showered "once or twice." She doesn’t see a problem with this, even though the first (and last) time she came to my place, she smelled like death. FML

Today, I was loudly asked if I'd rubbed poop all over myself this morning. I shower three times a day, brush my teeth for 10 minutes twice a day, and wear copious amounts of antiperspirant. FML

Today, multiple customers have complained about my body odor. Not only can I not smell anything, but I shower three times a day and brush my teeth seven times a day. FML

Today, my Axe shampoo, body wash, and deodorant finally did their job: they got a girl to notice me. Too bad the girl was my grandma. FML

You're body odor also depends on your eating habits, so if you eat McDonalds all the time, you probably do stink.

I would bet that anyone hatin' on what granny said is fat themselves. Loose some weight and you will feel soooo much better and you'll get granny off you back about your "curious" stench.

Ok, sorry to hurt anyone's feeling but granny is right. People who are a little chunky and have normal hygiene don't tend to have a problem, but people who are seriously obese have to take extra care. I roomed with this girl for a semester who I know for sure took at least one shower a day but she ALWAYS smelled. And it's the same sour, not-quite-clean down there smell I've noticed in several other very large men and women. C'mon op, take it with a grain of salt. You know if it applies to you, and if it does, do you really want to be fat AND smelly?
