Dear lady on the bus:I saw you yesterday and questioned your appearance. You don't need to wear couture but for the love of god get clothes that fit properly. Also, that hair cut is atrocious. If all that wasn't bad enough you have to smell like pee. I swear to god you smell like washed your clothes in your urine. And of course I had to get stuck sitting beside you.I normally do not get up from a seat when another one becomes vacant, but I simply could not handle your stench any longer. It was the longest 15 minutes of my life. I am hoping that gave you a hint that you reek.Please wash your clothes and have a shower.Regards,mandysmear

I once sat in bum pee once. It was horrifying.

::shudder::I felt dirty after just sitting next to her. I hate taking public transit on days like today.

I used to always get stuck on the school bus with a kid who smelled like cat piss.

That's revolting. What a horrible way to start your day. I hope it gets better!

Seriously it's such an awful smell. I wish that this lady smelled like an animal's pee because then I could give her the benefit of the doubt and think maybe she has no idea her cat peed on her pants or something. But, no, it was human pee. Oh hell yeah it was.

I used to work in a restaurant, and we had these two couples that would come in from time to time. The Smellies and The Dirties.The Dirties were bad, but nice and tipped well. It was just that they were visibly dirty. Greasy hair, etc, and ate with their mouths open and such. I don't know how to say it without making myself sound like a bad person, but it could make you gag to look at them.The Smellies were worse. They smelled. I mean, SMELLED. Like pee and BO, it was horrible. It was difficult to maintain normal waitress politeness while trying to breathe through your mouth and figure how far back you could stand and not be offensive. If you were a girl, you got tipped a quarter. If you were a boy, you got tipped a quarter and a dime.Even now, something like 6 or more years later, I still wonder how people can leave the house like that and not KNOW how terrible it is.

The smellies sounds awful. Who tips a quarter? No fuucking thank you. You can't even make a call with a quarter anymore.

When I was in college, I was on the bus back from the grocery store and a blind lady was sitting in the front of the bus, and got off at her stop. After she got off the bus, the person sitting on the seat behind where she was, got up and tapped the bus driver on the shoulder and pointed at the seat.Apparently, this lady had her period and had bled all over the seat during her ride. I'll never forget the bus drivers revolted face. I was feeling none too clean after that myself.

That is disgusting, Amoro! I seriously shuddered at the thought of that.

I seriously think piiss has to be the worst smell in the entire world. It's revolting. I'd rather smell shiit. I have a letter of my own to add: Dearest Mark, When you pee in the basement, please flush the toilet. We rarely use that bathroom. Your 3 day piss smells, badly. And it makes me gag. Love, Jaime.

I would totally get the hint if you got up and moved away from me. p2... ew!

jfgrad06 · July 2009

Hah! I also work in a restaurant and find myself trying to politely stand as far away as possible when I get stuck waiting on a few particular smelly people. These people just had horrible BO. I don't see how they can't smell it themselves. It's absolutely atrocious. When you can make the person across the room gag, there's a real problem. A shower once in a while would work wonders.And another story! My FIs parents have a pool in their back yard and there is a kid that lives up the road that hangs out with FIs little brother (they are 15 or so). I for the life of me have no idea why this kid always smelled like SH1T, but he did. Literally, like sh1t. Any time they knew he coming over, FIs parents would put towels or blankets down on the couch where he sat and they would always tell him that "we take showers right before we get in the pool so we dont mess with the chemicals in the pool water" LOL. We never actually saw crap on the kid, but it was there. And even after he was gone, the smell would linger. We would all fight over who would have to sit beside that kid. I felt bad about it, but it really was THAT gross.

I don't get it. I mean okay, it's a hot summer day we're sitting outside or playing frisbee or whatever, I start to sweat. But, I'm wearing deodorant and I always warn my friends if they go for a hug or something "sorry, i'm a little sweaty, i might smell."H has a really good friend who always smells like moth balls. We don't think he uses body wash or laundry soap. He must wash his clothes in water and throw them on the floor. He doesn't wear deodorant so he smells. On our wedding day, they had to hint to him to go in the shower. H's BM was like "so we're all going to have nice hot showers tomorrow morning and look and smell our best right dan?" They think they're going to do an intervention with him and buy him all sorts of soaps.

FutureMrsDudley55 · July 2009

P2 - My FI does the same thing! I don't get it. I also agree about pee smelling really bad. Whenever I'm in the bathroom getting ready, FI will just walk in and go about his business. I have to leave because I can't stand the smell.

Back in high school I worked at Ponderosa (yee-haw!) and there was a lady who came in who we called The Bug Lady. Because she had little bugs in her hair. All the time. And she smelled. All the waitstaff hated the days she came in, and we prayed she wouldn't sit in our section. Plus she was rude and didn't tip worth a crap.

wadingmoose · July 2009

I used to right the bus with this old guy who was pretty terrifying. First, he smelled. You get past that pretty quickly when he starts mumbling to himself - another thing you manage to get over quickly when he gets louder and you realize he's swearing at and about women. He'd cuss out the female bus drivers on the route, cuss about any woman who sat near him and one day I saw him downtown and he walked across a wide sidewalk directly at me (kinda terrifying) then yelled "fuccking biitch" before veering back to the other side of the sidewalk and continuing on his way.I finally moved.

temerityjane · July 2009

I agree, mandy. The thing that gets me is how do you NOT KNOW? I am always fully aware of my own level of stink!

mandysmear · July 2009

what a nut bar moose! i've rode the bus with a few of those that's for sure. harmless ones though...
