This is a question No Self-Awareness

I had a boss who had no idea of his body odour problem, and everybody was too tactful to break it to him. Not so a visiting Rev Ian Paisley: "What the blazes is that smell? Is it you?" That sorted it. Stories of people blissfully unaware of their bad smells, bad manners and foghorn voices.

Yet more smelly colleagues
One gentleman I worked with had hardly any teeth left. He was in his late twenties I think. His excuse was that he couldn't find an NHS dentist.
Every day for lunch, he'd get a sandwich in a triangular box, and bottle of coke, and a packet of extra stinky beef flavoured crisps. He'd then eat this at his desk. Having done so, his fingers would therefore be covered in a beefy slime that would stay on anything he touched.

I would have to go on business trips with this character, and sit opposite him at breakfast in a hotel whilst he ate a baked bean sandwich. Ever such a nice bloke, just a bit slimy.

Second colleague used to sit opposite me. The pikey chav king, as hairy as a badger's arse and about four foot tall. This crappy office didn't have aircon, so everyone had a stupidly noisy fan on their desk that blew papers around.

When this troglodyte came back from having a fag, I'd have to turn my fan to blow into his face so that I didn't have to breathe his stinky breath. He asked why I did that, and I forget my exact words, but he said "Are you saying I smell?" "Er, yeah, that's what I'm saying."

(It turned out he was working nights as a welder in order to feed his drugs habit. He then pretended to be ill, sold his company laptop on ebay, and went on a spending spree with the company fuel card. But that's another story as they say.)
