Oh, I already know what you're going through. We had a stinky minky at my old job.
This guy smelled like A** & FOOT! Seriously! It was like he went home, did whatever he did and said "Fu** the shower"!
Everyday, and I mean it, he'd come to work smelling like sh** gibblets! *shaking head*
Nobody wanted to ride on the elevator with him, sit by him or anything. H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E!

He finally got called out by a supervisor and they made him go home and shower. Didn't help, but hey...*shrugs shoulders*
Originally posted by arrakisUnfortunately I am his boss, there's just no graceful way to approach this topic. The guy smells like rancid cat piss. The only medical proble he has is that I suspect he goes home and drinks himself into a coma every night. Still he always shows up early and not intoxicated, just unimaginably smelly, especially on a hot day, damn!.... imagine taking a huge snort of a nice warm, overused cat litter box... mmm, mmmm good!
Heh, we had a guy like that when I worked as a pipefitter in building maintenance. We nicknamed him "rag picker".
The only thing you can do is go to his boss and make a complaint. That's what we did with "rag picker". The boss had to talk to him about personal hygiene.
I feel sorry for the guy, his life seems to be total crap outside of work and he's sewering his job as well by pissing off his coworkers. The rest of the crew will draw cards to determine who has to work with him on a given day.
Originally posted by YIAMSOMEBODYWhen confronted he took my counseling as a personal attack, complained that management was always treating him 'like this' and accussed me of not caring about him. He became very agitated and I told him he need to do something about the problem if possible as it was negatively effecting his coworkers and my ability to send him to customer sites, if there were reasons he could correct the problem that I would try to work with him on them. He declared that this was bull$#!@ and contacted my regional HR manager to lodge a complaint.
My regional HR manager, while usually easy to work with, felt that I was overstepping my bounds. I disagree, but... look, the just stinks. He left a jacket in my office the other night and it took damn near a whole can of air freshner to kill the stench.

Seriously, he can't be mad at you or anyone else for confronting him, IN A CIVILIZED MANNER MIND YOU, and telling him that he has an awful B.O.
Seems to me he knows, but doesn't care. If he can't take someone coming at him the right way, I wonder how he'll react when they are REALLY mean about it? Hell, if you stink you stink. No if's, and's or but's about it.
I sure hope this guy doesn't have a wife or anything!!!! :'(
You need to make a stink hat. Something that REALLY STINKS and wear it around the guy. You need to go 'stink to stink' with this guy, it is the only thing you really can do.
You should also consider a platic liner for the inside of your stink hat. You might also want an air-tight container to keep your stink hat in.
Wish I could be more help, but I see no solution other than a stink of your own.

If the guy has cats, it is simply a issue of his being used to the smell... he probably doesn't even recognize that he smells of cat piss... many people that don't own pets can attest to this.... you just get used to it without ever realizing it... it happens to everyone that have pets... especially allot of them....
Ask him if he has cats.... then simply tell him that it smells like one of them sprayed him.......
Something to that order....
There is another aspect to consider... and that is that it might just be you.... you in the meaning of natural inclination between yourself and this gentlman.
As with some animals.... different species react differently in that sense when in the same area.... Just because it is offensive to your sense of smell, may not mean that it is the same with everyone..... it my just be a Ph thing between you and him....
Originally posted by DulcetEldritchOh, gee, thanks for that. Sorry, but, I have no pheremonal attraction to this gentleman thank you very much. I would rather spend a hot summer week in a dog food processing plant than spend time in the same room with this guy.

Yes he does have cats and no its not just me that picks up on this. One of our company vehicles has been rendered undrivable due to the incapacitating stench eminating from the cab. A hot day in the truck impregnated the seats with his foulness.
Originally posted by Hand of HecatePerhaps you could infect him with something like scabies, the resulting treatment of which would mean burning his entire skin off with quick lime of some equally nasty chemical which should reduce the smell of him. How you get hold of scabies in the first place, or whether you could put up with a man that smelt like a chlorine factory all day are matters for more debate.
