Gym Etiquette - Super Stinky People

edited January 7 in Chit-Chat
I know everyone sweats and creates delicious odors while working out... but HOLY CRAP there was the smelliest guy at the gym today. Smelly like body odor + poop + the smell a body makes when it's sweating out the alcohol it imbibed the previous night. And then he came to play on the equipment next to me. I was having trouble breathing he was that smelly.

I'm not brave enough to tell someone they're rancid, but would you? I wanted to, but my balls haven't dropped yet.

    I am afraid I tend to be a little outspoken, and prone to muttering and talking out loud, to myself, regardless of whether anyone hears me, so if someone really stinky ended up next to me, I would most likely shift elsewhere, whilst loudly muttering about how there is no excuse for not washing in this day and age, other than for those who have no home and no access to water.

    Maybe he has a medical issue.

    Either that or has "just don't give a fvck" syndrome.
