    Diplomatic advice

    How to diplomatically tell a colleague that they need to wash and use a deodorant?

    The stench of B.O. is making me sick :x

    How about - I really don't want to offend or upset you but I think you may have a bit of a personal hygiene problem - I know what it is like in this hot weather but maybe a different deodorant would help. If that doesn't work - vomit on them.

      How about "Have a wash you smelly bastard!"

      BTW, I was once asked this question at an interview!

      Spod - In "I got the contract" mode!

        What you stank and the interviewer asked you how often you washed?

          Ah, dear old DP, your wit and wisdom never cease to amaze me. In fact you're second only to MF in that area...

            My female manager had a BO problem on a recent contract. I wimped out of saying anything.

              Get your line manager to sort it out.

              That's what they're paid for.

                    We had a bloke with that problem. Another contractor sent him a can of deodorant in the post.
