Things like this are why I stopped reading Lifehacker. I realized that I’m clearly not in their target demographic.

How to tell if you smell: you’re reading a blog post to find out whether you need to take a bath or brush your teeth.

I don’t think people that smell necessarily KNOW they smell. Its kinda like walking into a dog owner’s home, or sitting in a smoker’s car. THEY may not think it smells any different, but you notice.

There is a girl at my work who is known as the skunk because she apparently doesn’t shower regularly or wear deodorant.
When I was a field engineer, I had to talk to an operator about bathing everyday because he smelled so bad that the crew was complaining about it.

Fair. But two bits of advice from that story are literally “is your clothing covered in sweat?” and “did you work out without showering?”

Some people just need reminders I guess. Kinda like Jalopnik’s “This is how xxx on your car works! WOW!”

The word “lifehacker” bugs me - if someone here hacked together a bunch of code for a proof-of-concept, they’d better go re-engineer the thing properly before sending it into the wild.
If your life is being held together with duct tape and you use Febreze as deodorant you need to reexamine your priorities.

I’m guessing this poor guy has to share elevator time with a repeat offender.
I do find the coffee trick hilarious, though, as so many people have some fonk-ass coffee breath.

The new girl at the front desk at my job is the same. No deodorant and smells like she bathes weekly. I made the mistake two times of using the single stall staff bathroom after her and was revolted, never again. Seafood city.
Incidentally her desk is a gross mess of plates and coffee cups that she has to be reminded to take to the sink.
I just think people aren’t raised right any more. My younger brother was in the Fresh Air Fund which is a summer camp where a kid gets to stay with a usually wealthy family and go on trips or do things they normally wouldn’t. The family he stays with is two doctors one of which is retired and their kids who are his age, they went to their lake house and spent the entire day at the lake. At the end of the night my brother asked to take a bath and the mother told him “The lake is a bath and it’s not necessary” at which point my brother proceeded to still go take a bath. This is how people are raising their kids, one of which is a girl who will likely grow up to be the girl that stinks at the front desk.

Eh... they’re OK. You just have to go in with the mentality that you KNOW that all they do is reposts. There might be some interesting stuff at times, and at times there are the cringy stuff.
Much like Jalopnik.

Ok. The argument could possibly be made for a pool because that’s loaded with chemicals and stuff to kill algae and bacteria. But a lake? Seriously? And they’re doctors?

I have 4 dogs but we keep things pretty clean. Leather furniture and hardwood floors help. I’m sure it smells doggy to non dog people. However, I know people with only or dog or two that I can smell immediately. Cat people that don’t scoop daily (or twice a day) I can usually smell the litter pretty easily.
And on a sad note: my parents used to smoke (mom quit, stepdad is almost done but doesn’t smoke in the house anymore). I used to leave my jacket in the living room until one morning my health teacher called out “smokers” at the beginning of class. He said “I know some of you smoke and I wish you wouldn’t, but please don’t do it before class. It smells awful and it’s really gross”. He stared at me almost the entire time he addressed the class. I kept my jacket in my truck from then on and was super self conscious about how I smelled until I moved out for college.

Exactly!! A lake is filthy and if you’re at the lake it’s a nice hot day in which you’ve been sweating all day! Well the mother is an Ophthamologist but the father is a retired general practitioner.

they just refuse to believe it. I’ve encountered a few people who bought into the whole “you don’t need deodorant, your body will adjust after you stop using it.”
Uh, no it won’t. you just got used to your own funk.

I’ve gotten into arguments in the comments section of a LifeHacker post about bathing. People were literally arguing with me that if they “Didn’t workout or go to the gym” they didn’t sweat!!
The argument started because I said only bathing in the morning is stupid because you go to bed every night with the same filth you accumulated throughout the day.
They don’t even realize that if you are fuckin breathing your pores are excreting waste and even sitting in one spot for more than an hour will cause your ass to sweat.
These are the same people who have acne and can’t figure out why or can’t get a girl/guy. Uh you fuckin stink and you go to bed each night rocking the same filth of being outside all day.
Can you even imagine that you are about to sleep with someone and found out they haven’t bathed all week because they “work from home and have not gone to the gym and therefore have not sweat since”. I’m cringing at the thought.

or like that one a while back “$COMPANY bought a Ferrari $CAR just to tear it apart!”
uh, yeah, that’s called competitive benchmarking. pretty much all car companies do that.

Depending on the lake, that was quite possibly just lightly filtered lake water.

I too never realized I smelled like an ash tray growing up until I went away to college. Now when I visit my mother’s house I still don’t so much notice it while I’m there, but after leaving all of my cloths stink and need a good washing.
