    Body Odour...

    Really need to tell someone here (permy) that they stink badly...

    Everyone notices, but no-one says anything. How does one tell someone that they punk??

        Place a bar of soap and a deodorant on their desk. Issue everyone else with clothes pegs and all put them on their noses when smelly git comes in.
        I am not qualified to give the above advice!

        Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

            There are obscure medical conditions that prevent the body from breaking down certain enzymes (or make too much of them - I forget which).

            These can result in someone smelling fishy or rank in some way, despite their best efforts to wash and deodorize etc, and I imagine might be a nice little earner for a victim who chose to sue the company or individual coworkers for harassment if soap and suchlike is left on their desks or they receive anonymous emails etc !

            Mind you, it's far more likely the git in question doesn't wash, or cycles twenty miles into work and doesn't shower.

              Wouldn't be very anonymous if they knew where they came from.

                Young cocksure manager a couple of gigs ago was bragging about how well he handled the same situation by advising said smelly bastard to change his washing powder.

                Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

                    Build a replica of Stonehenge around his desk using air fresheners/deoderants and soap.

                    If he doesn't get the hint at least you'll have an interesting piece of "artwork" to look at.
