Right now I'm sitting at my desk gagging upon my own bile. Colleague next to me has powerful body-odour (obviously slept in the dog-basket last night and forgot to
shower this AM) which is interfering with my aura and ruining my 'productivity'.
This situation has led me to wish for some sort of
odour-detector stationed at the building entrance (just like metal-detectors in airports) which would emit a signal when the person stepping through is offensively humming.
The culprit would be sent home for a good scrub while the rest of us can suffer our daily toil in peace.
You want one of these.

Badges? Badges? Weee don't need no steeenking badges! |

sounds like your company already has an odour detector. what you need is a way to get the message to your co-worker. see link for details. |

Thanks mihali - a pity this site expects you to buy a 'present' for the offender too... |

Just chip in for a can of deodorant. Then get someone really insensitive like me to ask whether they have a medical problem. When they reply "No", give them the can and tell them it's a freebie from everyone, but they should buy the next one. Make some suitably nonthreatening joke about them having a *wide circle of friends* to help them get over it. |

I'm all for it, for *any* strong odour. My SO gets migraines from perfume, and *that* certainly interferes with productivity... |
|
| |
The way some people baste themselves in flowery scent is beyond me. (And makes my nose itch.) |

"Sorry I didn't have that report on your desk at 9am, your honor, but the guys in inventory control sent me home, honest!!!" |

The mutual alibi has never had a stronger champion than a workplace-enforced BO policy. "Bob, you stink." <wink, wink> "Oh yeah, well you reek, James!" <wink, wink> "Welp, see you in the morning then! I'm gonna go stink up the golf course!" |

This is gross but, if like me you laundry at the weekend, friday would be the perfect day to dig out all your soiled clothes and choose the most aromatic outfit for work... "BLEEP! BLEEP! BLEEP! You're going home sonny...." |

hopefully it would detect Tuna in lunch boxes too. |
