Someone at work sprayed lynx on themselves while on the floor. Several of us had to run to the loo to chuck.
Should be an illegal substance, like it should be classed as a war crime under the Geneva Convention.
We've just had an all staff memo out about personal hygiene and the impact of body odour on people aeound you and in your care.... we'll see what improvements we get.
If they don't address it tomorrow, I'm writing to my hsr
๐คฎ I had a similar encounter on a tram recently where a very sweaty/smelly man had attempted to cover up his smells with far too much Lynx Africa before boarding the very crowded peak tram ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ IT DOESNT COVER ANYTHING UP BUDDY. ITS WORSE NOW!
Too right! Lynx makes everything worse!!
Yes.
Pray for those of us in IT
I don't even want to think about the nasal hellscape that is ๐
Look these guys are mostly good.
That said, there is 1 dude who smells like he hasn't washed his work polo shirt in a couple of weeks.

Lynx makes a regular appearance.

I prefer lynx
I'd rather smell natural b.o than the artificial shit in a can called lynx
Human umami.
