The man next to me stinks

I’m using the computer in the public library and the person next to me stinks so much that I feel sick. The man is obviously a dropout and is a regular in the library. When he leaves the staff instantly get the air fresher out. I know that people have complained about him. Do you think that the staff should tell him about his personal hygiene and if he doesn’t do any thing about it should he be banned from the library.

God forbid you suffer a colonostamy bag !
We were in Wales a couple of weeks ago and we got on a bus ,it hit you immediately the whole bus reeked of that smell that you speak of. After sitting down I thought were is tha coming from and after a while it became obvious that it was a male around 40 sitting 3 seats in front.What was interesting was how everyone just sat there pretending it wasnt there.The smell was a compound of stale sweat,excrament with a definite rotting cabbage overtone. I couldnt help thinking how can he sit there stinking like that,it was quite a hot day and I was feeling sick. Now they tell me that the sence of smell becomes tired very quickly, hence not being able to smell ones self. Just think what it must be like in these peoples houses. Could the smell be synthesized by the great perfumiers and be used as a kind of kind of antidote . Perhaps we could have a competition to name this fragrance, how about Eau de deadleg or Hum de corps.
Celeryman, do think people like that have HOUSES. I think they're most probably homeless people, like someone else mentioned, and they come indoors in public places for shelter.
Many moons ago I was waiting for the tube at Embankment station in London quite late in the evening, when an old filthy smelly drunk, most likely homeless, came staggering down the steps onto the platform. As he staggered along the platform everyone moved quickly out of his way, as did I. A City gent, immaculate in his pinstripe suit, brolly and briefcase, stood up and took hold of the chap's arm and led him away from the edge of the platform to a seat in the corner, saying, "Come on old chap, come and have a rest on this bench, out of danger." His actions made me feel ashamed of mine.
Speaking as someone who visited houses of all kinds in a work capacity for many many years I can confirm they do live in houses,people like myself ,when getting together have a scale we use known as the reeky scale graduated from 1 to 10 1 being slight pong to 10 being gas mask obligatory.Now I can boast having had the misfortune to having visited an 8.5 on the reeky scale this if it were an eathquake would create a tsunami which would swamp Tibet.
Tambo, "God forbid you suffer a colonostamy bag !" Do you really think that people with a Colostomy bag stink?

Well I can assure you they don't!

Do you think the queen mother stank?

What a dreadful thought, I'm sure we meet people everyday with Colostomy bags. Ive looked after people with this problem, none of them ever stank!!

I think it's nice you can go home and have a shower...............perhaps the poor smelly bugger doesn't have that option.
I find women who wear so much perfume it makes your eyes sting and nose run almost as offensive... almost...
We have several regulars with 'hygiene problems' come into our library. They all stink, but each one has a different smell so you can actually tell which one has been in without seeing them. Due to Social Inclusion legislation, we are not allowed to turn them away. And don't kid yourself that these folk are homeless and penniless - only one of our regulars is homeless, the rest are just manky.
