I feel your pain regarding stinky dude. I'm a social worker and encounter stinky people on a regular basis. That part's definitely not fun!

Love, love, love the pics in your last post. You are too cute!

And that is crazy about the stinky man. I don't understand how people can't smell themselves either. Or that someone close to them doesn't help them out.

Good job on a speedy run in spite of the angry sun =)

Haha I SO believe in Karma, I live in fear of angering the running gods! Now I'll fear angering the sun as well! I don't get it either, I can always tell when I smell, I mean I might not address it right away, but I sure wouldn't go see a doctor like that! We used to have a customer when I was a waitress that we'd fight to the death over who had to wait on him, you could smell him a mile away....almost 10 yrs ago and I still remember the smell....

Poor stinky dude. I can smell me, and when in doubt, I just flat out think I stink and do something about it. Maybe he is so used to his smell that he doesn't realize he is stinking?

great job on the run!

I have encountered this stinky situation too many times on public transportation. Just because a person looks like they can afford to shower regularly with soap doesn't mean they do.

I always get stuck next to stinky people when I line up at a race start. Do some people not wash their lucky race shirts??

Wow, that's totally unfortunate about smelly dude. I couldn't hack it, i'd break down and be like, "ummm, you need to re-check your deodorant man."

And I think someone angered our sun down here in the flats, because it's just pissed 24/7.

Nice job on the run! Running in the heat is seriously tough but it always makes me feel good to finish. :)

Um, gross! I'm not sure that smelly people really know how bad they smell, which is why I think they smell in the first place.

Poor stinky dude... and poor you! I wonder how he could not 'know'. Hmmmmmm.

Sorry you made the sun made. I apparently did too because it was crazy heat wave when I got to NY and it ended the night I left. :)

I had a classmate growing up that always had an unbearable BO odor - even from 1st grade! I felt bad for him, but it really was intolerable. I wonder how the doctor that had to see the stinky man did? Did you warn him first? :)

I think I may have angered the sun on Saturday. My friend and I encountered about 4 different types of weather in the course of a 12 mile run - first it was cool and calm, then the wind picked up and it started to rain and looked like a big storm. Then the clouds blew away quickly and it got calm again. The last 4 miles the sun came out and there was no breeze anywhere. Brutal!

I knew exactly what you meant when "He was nice, funny, and didn't look like he should smell." I feel so bad for feeling the way that I do especially when they are so nice. I don't know how they don't know. Maybe their entire house stinks and they are used to it. I go see a man to check his CPAP machine and the dog pee smell can knock over a sumo wrestler! It is horrible. Then when people smoke....ew.
