Disadvantages Of Using Public Transport
26 Answers
I was on the bus on my way to work this morning and apart from the usual traffic which I'm used to there was someone on the bus with really bad BO. I moved to another seat away from the direction of the smell but I could still smell it. The bus was getting packed so there was nowhere else to move to so had to grin and bear it.
How does someone not realise that they are giving off an offensive smell? I know some people have medically related sweat issues but surely using antiperspirants can help and keep their armpits from smelling.
I've got an acute sense of smell and can smell things a mile off so maybe I'm the one with the problem! Sorry for the rant...

My mother was always pernickety about bodies and the house being clean and never smelling. She was so nasty about other folk who weren't as clean and odour free as she was.
When she developed Alzheimer's she stopped bathing and putting on clean, fresh clothes.
Whatever we tried to do...and god how we tried.... didn't work.
She was very violent towards me when I tried to get her into a bath. If she spent a night at my house I'd sneak in when she was asleep and swap her clothes. She did smell awful at times.
I felt so sorry for others in shops and her church having to put up with the smell. :-(

The smoking thing is a strange one. Back in my London days I used to go to a pub quiz on Monday evenings, and every time I came home the very first thing I would do is take off all my clothes and put them in the washing machine, as they stank so much of smoke - I wouldn't even put them in the laundry basket!
Difficult to believe that not long ago you could smoke on buses (upstairs), the Tube and - amazingly - planes.

Fish odour syndrome is a thing, although rare. Must be awful for the sufferer, showering, anti perspirant and fresh clothes don't help https:/ /www.nh s.uk/co ndition s/trime thylami nuria/# :~:text =Trimet hylamin uria%20 (TMAU)% 20is%20 an%20un common, are%20t hings%2 0that%2 0can%20 help.
I remember people smoking on planes, in cinemas, pubs, buses, trains, GP waiting room, in hospital (even in bed) - everywhere. I can't remember any non-smoker complaining about the smell.
I took my daughter to the GP when she was about 18 months, she was quite poorly with a chest infection and the GP smoked his pipe throughout. Normal for the era.
