Hey it's me at smelly work place. The one lady and her boyfriend both from work relish winter because you sweat less so you don't need to shower as much. Her and him go for a week or more. Lol. We use chemicals at work and need an eye wash station. The boss says use the hose. There is our work shower! There are 12 hoses so we have 12 showers. Lol

Sounds like a work place in hell!

My work place, a hospital, is the opposite. Employees at at all levels are not permitted to have any scent whatsoever--neither body odor nor artificial scents from any cosmetic product. Workers are sent home fairly often--almost always because of "perfume" rather than body funk.

Sounds like the bathrooms at Penn Station.

If you use products like baby wipes, DO NOT FLUSH THEM ! They may say they are flushable, but if that were true, they would be dissolved in their container. Bag them, and throw them in the trash.

My brother, the plumber, makes LOTS of money clearing drains of those flushable wipes........

Yeah, he hates that part of the business....... He's a college educated plumber, and prefers the bidding, engineering, and piping part of the trade, but never turns down a customer.

However, if they won't let him do it correctly - he has them get someone else. He hates returning on the same job, when it could have been done right in the first place. He also does plumbing inspections for quite a few cities around here.
