[quote=Anonymous]I stayed at an Indian owned hotel in London years ago. I'm Chinese and grew up eating Chinese dinners complete with oily food smell all over the house. Despite that accustomization, this London booking reeked of old curry and sometimes it made me want to gag.
OK, back to my Chinese household. As a teen, I once lent a garment to a friend and she returned it saying how she loved smelling the Chinese flavors in the garment. She really meant it as a compliment but I was horrified.
I don't think it's rude to clue smelly people into their odorifics. Some people aren't aware of it and it would probably do them good to know so that people stop avoiding them. Mostly older men have this problem though.
My husband taught gut college classes for a while and he'd literally put on a lecture performance. The kids always clapped at the end of class but it really wore him out. Anyways, the students usually wanted to follow up with him after class and he noticed some would hold their nose or back away from him. He realized that his breath smelled. 1 hour of constant talking without liquid replenishment can bring on halitosis. So he started to take water breaks and bring breath mints.[/quote]
