This is a public safety message! Dear people who take public transport to work, please make sure you shower and use loads of nice smelling deodorant and body spray. It would make the morning journey very pleasant for everyone.

When the train doors opened this morning, I was hit by a gust of 'body smells' from inside the train, thankfully, I held myself together and didnt collapse like a pack of cards!

IS it so hard to use some soap and wash yourself before coming to work? It would be better if you could also use some mouthwash- or maybe for some cases undiluted dettol to make sure your dragon breath doesnt kill people(after brushing your teeth of course). Why are people so lax about their personal hygiene? Its no use dressing up to the nines when you smell distinctly like a garbage truck. And what more, you gallantly lift your arms and hold on to the grab-rails. Argh please! Spare me the early morning nausea.

*edit* I met this indian guy on the train on my way home. He was so gorgeously tall and hunky. Had a cute moustache to boot and was adorable. Was very well dressed and looked very smart, nice floppy hair. Sadly, my dreams were thrown down the drain when he came near the exit door. He smelled like a rotten egg. I pity myself sometimes...sighz

some is the internal body's chemical reaction.....bathing and soaping wont hlp...

but one should be self-concious in this kind of thing....if others can detect it..i believe there are no reasons the "owner" never realise it...

sigh...sometime people are so ignorant

Big bOk, how nice for you. you dont have to smell dragon breath!

Hi zbjernak, thanks for stopping by. the 'owner' never realises cos he is probably used to his own smell!
