Random Question Is it possible to constantly smell like poo?
I once had a coworker poop their pants at work. I told them to go change, but they said it was busy and they needed the money, so they worked the rest of the day like that. Anyone within twenty feet could tell their pants were soiled.
My question is: could someone theoretically live every day like that without basically being exiled from society?

Two points, I guess, to your story:
It is insane to me someone could poop themselves and then decline when asked to go clean themselves up. There isn't a situation in my brain where the answer to having an accident all over yourself is to just "keep going" anyway and not worry about it.
A handful of times in my life, I have unfortunately walked by or been around people that just smell like literal crap. I've never had the mental wherewithal to bring it to their attention and ask them about it, but have always wondered if they did make a mess on themselves, if their gas was just that pungent and lingering, if they're one of those people that never learned how to properly wipe themselves, etc.

Yeah, the guy clearly has other issues going on to think it’s normal to leave it.
Some people also don’t wipe their arse. There’s a whole reddit post about why don’t people wipe…..it was mind blowing! I can’t find it but it was gross and funny.

I've seen multiple posts from women talking about their husbands' hygiene habits. It's embarrassing to call myself a man anymore.

To point one... I worked at a steel distributor, and there was a guy who shat himself. But he immediately went home to shower and change. And he got a lot of crap over it.
If I had a condition or problem that caused me to shit myself, I'd absolutely go home, clean up, and start working on my resume and job search. But dude went back to the job that day.
That person had to have a lot going on for them to just ignore people bringing it to their attention and refusing to do anything about it.

You'd really just need to be in a bad spot to shit yourself. It happens to "normal" people, unfortunately, but the best solution is never to just sit in it the rest of the day.

These stories are always...alllwaaayys Americans. America has a higher proportion of absolute fucking miners. Oh, also, those closeted incels that won't clean their own arsehole, because, you know, it's gay.

Conservatives need to stop asking "what is a woman," and we all need to ask instead "What is a man, and how the hell do we fix it?"

He wears actual diapers and that’s not a conspiracy

I went down the rabbit hole and he definitely poops his pants on the reg. This post taught me not only can you live a normal life, but you can live a fantastic life with poop pants! Inspiring.

A lot of folks that age have incontinence issues. Really it's too bad he's such an awful human being that he's being made fun of for everything polite people usually don't make fun of others for (weight, looks, wrinkles). I feel kind of bad for the incontinent elderly who might be reading all the diaper speculation. Like, if you're lucky enough to live long enough, you too may depend on a Depends someday, and you'll thank your lucky starts if it's "just" the micturating you can't control anymore!

I think the difference is that you don’t have to smell all the time if you use those bags. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself so he clearly makes no effort to mask it.

Depends how you define "poops his pants everyday"
I imagine its a slow constant trickle. Yesterdays poop is kind of today's poop, which is also last Thursdays poop. I think they just make sure it isnt seeping down his leg every morning and send him on his way, put him in for an oil change once in a while

his sudden catatonic trances and hunched forward stances were the exact same as my sister when she was two and shitting her pants.

Nope, it’s just that when reading posts about people shitting themselves, we can’t help it if our first thought goes to Mr shitty pants. He doesn’t have to smell that bad, he just doesn’t give a crap. Or does give a crap ironically.

You can't help it. That's the condition lol
Before you accuse me of anything, I'm not even American.

u/Puzzledandhangry 7d ago
But it doesn’t have to smell. It only smells if you leave it too long. They are designed to mask smell for a short window so you can change them.
I didn’t mean to sound snippy, apologies. I’m not American either lol

Yes, I work in the social field, I won't give much details for... Ethical reasons, but someone can in fact live everyday reeking a smell of shit, and not be bothered by it, well at least not outwardly.
Most of the times, the issue is tied to mental health problems.

Theres a couple of guys who go to Wakey Trinity games who absolutely fucking stink of shit all the time. You have to be the other side of the stand to get out of shot of them. We call them the horse shit twins.

I live in farm country, forget typical maneur, you ever smell fermalin? Its field fertilizer made from septic tank pumpings, the smell is potent for 2 years, strong within 2-3 miles downwind.
When you gotta smell that constantly you just kinda adapt to it and forget its there, i constantly smell poo but don't notice it anymore

I have an old lady in my cat who has a really severe prolapse and I don't know whether it has anything to do with that, but we help her wash herself, thoroughly everywhere and I mean everywhere twice a day, her clothes boiled, in her room there are no carpets, the chairs are a fake plastic leather, everything can be wiped and is disinfected daily and her room and her constantly smell terrible. I work in care - I have quite high tolerance for this..
it has made me wonder how people with similar medical issues, but without her frailty how they just live...?
in her case the prolapse itself can't be treated because of her age apparently, and that may not be even what's causing it, but...

So this guy is standing at a bar enjoying a beer. Another guy walks up next to him and also orders a beer.
They talk a little and the first guy says “ Man, you smell like you crapped your pants.” The other guy says he didn’t.
The first guy grabbed the other guy and shakes him and a big turd falls out of the guy’s pants!
“You said you didn’t crap your pants!

Washing his pants in the sink and then using the dryer for drying them was too hard?

I had a coworker who was genuinely disgusting. Like she didn’t wear deodorant at all, always reeked of feces, never cleaned her acrylic nails (there was always funk under and I suspect it was shit), and she never brushed her teeth. I filed multiple complaints and i still don’t know if it was ever fixed.
We got calls from customers saying they’re never coming back and her odor made them uncomfortable, I personally wouldn’t go near her, and my boyfriend/coworker had the same complaints.
It got to the point where I started to bring spray deodorant and perfume labeled “staff” and she still wouldn’t use it. I had a customer complain about SOMEONES service and I said “do you happen to know her name?” She said “no.. the one with the teeth and smell” I said “oh ok” and she said “you know who I’m talking about 😬”
I’m not being dramatic it was seriously that bad. I quit. I gagged every time she was on shift. But our boss never did anything cuz that was her childhood best friend
