"Hold your nose and breathe through your mouth.......
Eeew then you'll taste his BO smell "
Bleurghhh never even thought of that, I used to be a binman and in this sort of weather breathing through your mouth was a bit of a necessity unless you wanted to be dry retching your way down the street..... |

You’re brave to get on a train in this weather to begin with but your situation really is a bad one. You have my sympathy OP.
I landed from the US yesterday and I had to go have a quiet word with one of the air hostesses for a similar reason. I was sat in the middle seat and the person beside me took up so much space I literally had to move one shoulder forward to fit in the middle and I’m a very slim man. I felt really bad asking and done it as discretely as possible but there was no way i could spend seven hours on a plane without being able to actually sit back in my seat.
If you have anxiety too it’s horrible when you lack personal space. |

I was thinking about this the other day. Deodorant was only invented in the 60s and only became widely used in the 70s, so what happened in the old days?
Did people just stink and no one noticed because they all stunk? I dint mean in ancient history , just the last hundred years or so .
Bearing in mind people bathed less frequently too.
With all the will in the world, on a hot day people get sweaty.Was BO not a thing then? |

I'd have just told him in a very loud voice that his body odour was making me feel sick and if he didn't move, I'd vomit in his lap.
No excuse this day and age! |

I think we all must have smelt in the 70s. We must have been posh though we had a bath on Wednesday and Sunday!! |

It was a thing. In days gone by, gentlemen we’re known to pass out at the stench of a ladies bosom when he removed her corset ... now there’s an unpleasant thought  |

I presume "him" hadn't sprayed some Lynx on his bollocks beforehand! What was he thinking about? |

You could start singing the Bad Manners song "Shift Up Fatty" ( slightly modified) and he might get the message! |

I feel your pain.
When I used to commute by train I learned never to sit next to two types of people...
Middle aged male business types (they all to often have pyorrhoea or simply death breath)...
Young male hipster dudes who look like wed designers (they usually stink of BO).
It was a hard learned lesson. |
