No. I had complained but there wasn't much they could do. The stench is terrible. Perhaps I have a sensitive nose as none of his team seem that fussed. To be honest - bad smells don't tend to bother me too much. I grew up on a farm - this guy could have made our pigs vomit!Originally posted by BolshieBastard View PostLOL! Its not pleasant, is it? I had to sit opposite a bob whose breath was so rancid, it could knock birds out of the trees through double glazed windows.
Did you ask the client for a desk move?

I'm finally moving away from the smelly tw@t that I've had to put up with for the past however many weeks. The air freshener on my desk, that I bought to fight Bobs stench was no match for his BO. I've since taken to having a bottle of aftershave in my pocket and spraying it on me regularly. It means I also stink..but in a nicer way!
As of monday it will be a different person to sit next to. Hopefully this one knows how to use the shower and the washing machine!
