re: Tonight I discovered an new level of pure unadulterated hell

I would have left

You're better than me. Why did you stay there? I would have moved the second I smelled it. Life it too short to smell shite in enclosed spaces.

I've worked off shore, Army in field for weeks, corpses, etc., but worse was a Rouses in a nice neighborhood. With young son, maybe 5 or 6, when he announced at top of his lungs, "daddy, what's that smell? "

It hit me all of a sudden and first thought some one had spilled ammonia, but we weren't on cleaning supply aisle. A woman, fat but not much over 200 lbs. BO so bad you could taste it. One woman started gagging and others were walking away. Still can't believe an alive human could get that bad.

Brought to mind soldiers talking about a rag over face and mouth with a drop of gasoline to kill smell.

how in the hell does this woman not smell herself?

I've wondered about that for years. They simply don't give a damn.

I honestly believe they get used to it.

Have you ever been in people’s houses that have multiple large inside dogs? There’s friends and relatives we know like this. Their house just reeks of the scent of wet dog the second you walk in. By the time you leave after a The Office-lengthed “Dinner Party” your nostrils are already a little more adjusted to it but whenever they invite you over next time your brain immediately cues up the scent of their house.

I had to attend the graduation ceremony at a county school because a family friend was graduating.

Stopped reading there, already got the picture.

They could have a family member get into the folds and crevices to clean them out and apply antifungal creams.

That’s why I suggested in the OP that before allowing her to go anywhere a member if her family should take her outside and hose her down. I’d suggest utilizing a pressure washer. Or better yet they could take her to a self-serve car wash where they’d have access to both a pressure washer and long-handled soap dispensing brush to get into her crevices and nether regions.

What I don’t understand is how in the hell does this woman not smell herself?

There is a certain class of people perfectly content to live in filth and squalor. I promise you had you followed her home you'd find a double wide w 3 foot grass in front, infested w roaches and nice and piled up food cakes pots and plates everywhere.... I think there are just tons of people who are intellectually disabled and slip through the system and just end up living like this cause they dont really have the skills to properly care for themselves.

Ive seen a good bit of it and its an odd combination of sad and revolting

Just try to imagine what her OB/GYN has to endure when she goes in for an exam.

A couple of weeks ago, I got caught on an elevator in my office building with two Indian guys. I was only on the elevator like 30 seconds and almost puked. I have no idea how they can't sense that.
