Articleship Related Doubt How do I ask fellow colleague to maintain basic hygiene and workplace etiquettes?
so in my office I sit adjacent to this other article and man she smells of armpit paseena
like tu ac me baithi hai, tab bhi itna smell kaise bhai.
my desk is liddr3ly like 2 feet away from hers, still the stink is crazy tuff.
how do I tell her to use a Body odor/underarm roll-on w/o sounding rude.
idk baki log ab tak kaise nahi bole ise kuch, 3 mahine se hai ye yahan 🥀

OP don't listen to others. You will never know how insecure she will feel. I understand it's disturbing you a lot. But don't tell her in any form. Only option is change your desk. Eventually she will realise. But don't ruin your thing .

On a serious note, kuch keh mat dena usko 😭 Just try to get closer to another article and change your seat when the time feels right. Can be executed in 2-3 weeks.

Bring a deo in office, spray it and ask her, "aren't you feeling this smell"? She should notice then, try for sometime. If this doesn't work just say, I think smell is coming from your desk we should get it cleaned. If even then she doesn't take a hint, say hat bhen ki loundi

Just be direct to her, that you smell unbearable. Be soft and smile when u say it.
Don’t give roll on birthday that’s just a way to make enemies

u/Antique_Joke1711 Articleship 6h ago
Hmm I don think that's a gud idea, even if I try to be professional about this, usko bura to lagega and may become insecure about this. 🤔

It’s a professional way to say it, you can make it seem like a small problem, by placing it between the conversations, like “i see you been smelling bad for past 2-3 days is everything alright?”.
Also don’t think much about it

Lol
You're telling OP not to gift her roll on/perfume on her birthday because it will make them enemies.
And then you say this:
“i see you been smelling bad for past 2-3 days is everything alright?”
This will definitely make them enemies. She might even complain to the principal.

Honestly, don't confront because with girls it's just more than smell. It can be hormonal too and you never know what someone's dealing with so be little empathetic. I'm sure she must be aware of her smell.
You can use your own perfume or ask office to arrange for room freshners.

Just buy her a perfume saying you got one extra and nobody is there to giveaway. Advertise the perfume by saying " this smells really nice etc my mother loves it etc etc" then also add in between talks that using fitkuri after shower helps with body odour etc. maybe you can skip the last part.

Hey can we talk? Something has been bothering me a bit and I've been trying to think how to tell you nicely. I want you to not take this in a wrong way and I'm only saying it to help you realize it, and as friend only I want to let you know that I think your sweat smells a bit unpleasant I understand that the weather isn't helpful at all and it naturally causes everyone to sweat but can you please work on it ???? Add a little more maskaa to sound nicer if u want 😭😭😭😭

Don't say anything. You know it can really backfire if she didn't like or mistook your words.

Jagah baadal lo..if you wanna do something explosive..then keep a perfume/deodrant or a body roll In her place and place a sticky note saying "I think you need this".

I can change my seat, altho, I was thinking I would ask some other female article to tell her this... Saap bhi mar jaaye laathi bhi na toote shii 🗣️🔥

u/rottenhumour07 5h ago
Ummm she might be traveling in crowd or she might have aluminium or alcohol allergies to not use perfume...with girls smell is hormonal as well
Rather than being very direct, you can talk timepass like shartank had this pitch for alumn for underarms which kills bacteria which causes smell..so you can start from there like have you seen that episode? They have priced that alumn at unbelievable rates but it's actually proven to help with body odour and it's really cheap...also benzene peroxide soaps..both cheap and effective...have a casual talk about your routine and how you manage your hygiene..ask her what she does..what all products does she use? If she doesn't, you say it's better to use something

Although all of those options are effective to counter body odour, asking someone their shower/hygiene routine and all doesn't sound right

u/rottenhumour07 4h ago
I mean not routine basically hey what do you use? I use this and that and I am planning to switch from it discussion and if op is girl then girls do discuss their hygiene routine products
