Where Is The Consideration?
Where Is the Consideration?
You know what I don't like? People that wallow in their own odors. I remember, in 12th grade, because I was excused to the office in 1st period, I got to math class earlier than usual because my next class was in the same building as the main office. When I walked into the classroom, I smelled a strong odor of feet and armpit stink. I scanned around the room, finding no dirty shirts or shoes that look like they were tossed on a telephone wire. I learned the classroom was completely empty with the exception of one kid, the one that got picked on often for not talking much and smelling funky. He sat there completely uncaring about how he smelled. I'm not stranger to teenagers and having a 'rebel' personality such as 'I don't care what people think about me,' but damn, he took it to the limit. I'm all for individuality, but not bathing to make a statement is ridiculous.
To all my readers, note, bad odors are offensive to the people around you. This doesn't apply to body odor, but also to odors such as wearing too much perfume or hair spray. When the teacher arrived, she quickly noticed the smell and said, "What in the world is that odor?" followed by disgusted reactions from the then entering students. Eventually, one of the students pointed him out, and he didn't seem embarrassed or anything; he laughed about it. That's right. The kid laughed about the other students disrespecting him for smelling like Limburger cheese, onions, and marsh water. Smelling horrible after a basketball game before taking a shower is one thing, but making it a priority to stay stinky is another, another that is not exactly a 'good' thing.
Therefore, if you have a friend or family member that stinks and doesn't appear to help the problem, consider these possibilities. One, she probably IS trying smell better, but her attempts are failing because she's using the wrong methods, such as, for example, not washing her clothes or wearing deodorant. Two, she probably doesn't know she stinks. If this is so, SHOW the person she stinks. Take one of her dirty shirts and tell her to sniff it. Have someone else sniff it in front of her, and she'll maybe get the idea from his or her disgusting reaction. Take off her shoes and put them to her nose. Do anything. Three, although this is quite rare, some people simply 'don't care' about how they smell. Three, she probably ENJOYS her odors. As disgusting as it may sound, this can be the cause of many reasons. She may have an odor fetish which causes her to get off from smelling herself, or the smell simply isn't 'stinky' to her. Remember, to say something 'stinks' is an opinion. Believe me, I know plently of people that would tell me 'poop stinking is a fact.' No matter who tells you that, don't believe them. Poop stinking is an opinion because, despite the mass majority thinking it stinks, someone could use poop for their air freshener. Okay, maybe not like that, but surely someone in this world thinks poop doesn't stink. Try looking at fart fetish porn where they sniff farts and enjoy it, or scat porn when they cover themselves in crap. Anyways, if your friend shares any of those three possibilities, if you still want to remain her friend, you have to get used to it.
