New Flatmate Rotten Feet
15 Answers
My lovely new flatmate has the most disgusting smelling feet I have ever known. She's pretty overweight and walks a lot but NEVER wears socks and when she comes in and puts her feet up, the smell is unbearable.
I joked about it and said mine were as bad (not!) so wore socks to cover smell and playfully threw some socks at her to wear in the house but she was slightly offended so now wears slippers but they are just as bad.
To add to this, she leaves the soiled cat poo tray in the kitchen all during tea time and also never cleaned it all night despite saying she would do it later.
I'm worried she might think I'm getting at her as some people get defensive.
Thanks

Must be a bit intimidating, if not irritating, living with a perfectionist.
Of course she is going to be offended, just as you would if she pointed out all of your misgivings.
Perhaps you should sit down and dicsuss some 'flat rules' with her so that all occupants can air their grievances and get some basic agreement to what is acceptable and what is not.

Why not leave some smelly socks in the room one day when you have been to work. But, ,leave all the windows shut.
When she comes back and smells it, she may ask you what the smell is, thats your cue to say, you dont have a clue and crack a joke that it might be her feet.
That way, she wont be as hurt as you just saying to her that her feet smell...

foot deodrant only masks the smell, or could make the pong worse, try getting her to wear charcole (sp) insoles with her outdoor shoes and her slippers.
Also, cat faeces can be infected with Toxocara cati which, if your cat has not been wormed also affect humans and potentially can cause blindness in children, so keep the litter tray out of the kitchen
