How do people not know when they stink?

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

Followed a guy into the grocery store and you could smell the BO trailing him and a few minutes later I smelled it again and there he was, about 15 feet away. Like take your breath away BO.

Then was next to a lady sticking cheese and she reeked of that sickly-sweet smoker-perfume-shampoo smell.

How do people not know they reek?

Nose Blindness, Olfactory Fatigue: What Does It Mean?

Nose blindness is when odors become less detectable following prolonged or constant exposure. It’s an adaptation of your body that helps prevent overstimulation.

Spend time around 400 middle schoolers in august, then you'll really know BO.

The worst is the sour morbidly obese person odor...

They get used to their own smell and don’t notice it. Same reason everyone within within a 50’ radius can pick out a hog farmer when they’ve showered and cleaned up for the day, but they think they smell clean.

In high school I worked at Hyline chickens in Dallas center. Part of that time I spent in the compost department. We would take eggs, rotten, fertilized with a chick inside, fresh, didn't matter, and blend them with the shells and pour that mix onto compost. The dude that worked there REEEKED of a sour egg smell. He would sit there and eat hard boiled eggs, while grinding baby chickens and smelling like rotten eggs, with a giant smile.


I'll never forget that.
