I was partner in a law firm in Texas where the two Senior Partners were very refined Southern gentlemen. Labor and employment law was a large part of my practice.

Bill, the Senior partner, approached me one day about an employment issues at an hospital. Bill said "Chin, I want to be delicate about this rather sensitive issue ... the guy is so fat he can't wipe his arse and he stinks."

I was on a church trip to New York back in the 90s and on the elevator with my youth minister about to head to the top of the Empire State Building. It was just going to be the two of us and a tour guide when at the last second and entire family of 8 or 9 got on the elevator. I swear they had just gotten off the plane in NYC after picking up garbage in the streets of Mumbai in 110 degree heat. Vader's story took me straight back to that elevator ~30 years ago. Some smells you never forget.

Just thought of another after reading lawyer post above.

In the 80s got hired by McDermott out of Amelia to represent 4 Egyptian engineers. They were overseeing construction of something, platform I guess.

They visited Southland Mall in Houma and while in J.C. Penney, while looking at some likely looking young Houma girls, proceeded to masturbate, as a group, behind a table of jeans, soiling the jeans in the process. Arrested and charged with indecent behavior or something like that.

They all came to my office, dressed business casual, and stunk up the place so bad my secretary was almost in tears. Doused the room with some floral scented crap she had. Had to work in library rest of day.

I really think people that are around an odor for a long period of time become "immune" or desensitized to the smell. There are houses around a sewage treatment center off the levee road in BR and when you pass, the smell hits you like a punch in the face, yet you see people sitting on their porches right next to the sewage. Also I think the only way people could work in a pogey factory must have no sense of smell

Let me explain to you how stupid you are. Any ‘normal’ person, including myself, would have left the second the first stench hit my nostrils. It could have been my own daughter graduating. I’d been gone!

Seriously, what’s wrong with you?

Skinny dudes and fat women are a thing for some weird reason. I see it often in public.

Also, no high school graduation is worth that for someone who is not my child. I would have left.

You have my sympathy. My 1978 graduation was held in the badly overcrowded gym at Central High (Baton Rouge). Whatever the gym's capacity was, there were at least 50% more people jammed in. Because of overcrowding, and the A/C's inability to overcome so much CO2 (hot breath) and body heat, the gym was miserably hot.

I can't imagine having to tolerate the heat AND a stench reminiscent of a 5 day dead animal. I'm glad you survived to tell the tale.

There was no way to escape the torment of the overwhelming stench emitting from the filthy, disgusting creature only inches in front of me.




There is always a way.

I'd have texted whoever it was that cared if you were there:

"Fat lady next to me smells like shite, going to sit in my car so I don't vomit or have this smell seared into my permanent memory. Give me a 10 min heads up when _____ is about to walk so I can get back to the gym"


Hell, that's the type of thing I'd send to a friend even if there was no smell, if there was nothing of import going on outside of the 90 seconds or so that this kid walks across the stage. Who's got 2.5 hours to sit captive and watch strangers do something meaningless?

The high school graduation I attended this year was the trashiest event I have ever been to in my life.
