I was in a community college program with a kid who stank like that. After a few months, I got to know him and I told him, “Dude, you stink.” He told me he lived in a trailer with a big family and could never get a shower before class. A lie maybe, but I can believe it. Some folks are just really poor and the water bill isn’t always paid up.

Odor usually has more to do with clean clothes than the body itself

I worked at an office, think call center full of 20 somethings. We had one kid who was nice and all but he always smelled like cat piss. To the point where he got the nickname catpiss. It turned out later that he was stuck living with his mother, who was a hoarder of things and cats, and there was nowhere for him to escape the smell. He moved out as soon as he could and stopped smelling like cat piss. We all rightfully felt like assholes. Anyway here’s your friendly reminder to be kind.
