I'm from the NORTH: barely sweat/freeze after showers. Grew up taking 2-3 showers a week. Moved to the south. Daily shower adjustment....

Summers in Texas make you want to shower at least 3 times a day

I lives in the Philippines for a while. Showers were: first thing, after lunch, after dinner, before bed. My skin was so dry.

Avg. temp of 110 w/ 90% humidity 24/7 & no AC. Every morn would have a salt ring the shape of our bodies from all the sweat.

the reverse is also true: people who overdose on (the Axe-effect) deodorant, bodyspray, extra perfumes, smelly/'fragrant' hairproducts etc.

That feet in sink part seems too specific, is that common or .. ?

My British gf had a British friend visit who had been traveling. First thing he did was wash his feet in the bathroom sink... even though

There was a shower with a detachable head less than a foot away. It’s such a tiny bathroom it must’ve been harder to wash his feet that way

Dude, that's the worst. There is a difference between smelling because you worked up a sweat versus just not bothering to wear deodorant.

It always depends on how fresh the sweat is and how fresh the clothes are in my experience.

I have no odorous scent which is weird. My friends didnt know i never wore deodorant for the longest time. I always smelled like my soap .

I've asked about myself too. I started wearing deodorant as a teen because we were supposed to but realized in my late 20s I didn't need it.

Are you of Korean descent? From my understanding a lot of Koreans don't have to worry about BO.
WhitePhoenix
Huh... I'm Korean-American... that could explain why I haven't had to use deodorant either.
MimirOfTheBifrostTeats
People ofEast Asian descent tend have little to no natural BO because of a specific gene. Same gene controls if you have wet or dry earwax.

I am not. Indochina area
hwatL4bloopy
I am though. And that genetic oddity is amazing. I've fenced for 5 hours and my gear didn't stink afterwards.

BO is due to the specific microflora profile on your skin. It's the breakdown of skin oils by specific bacteria species that produce the ...

If you shower every morning deodorant is usually unnecessary. Stale sweat smells bad. "fresh" sweat barely smells like anything.

You may be one of those rare people who doesn't have any body odor, but for the rest of us, deodorant is necessary even after a shower.

Gross. It's because they use oils. It permeates through porous materials upon contact, and lingers. Lavender is especially pungent as well.

What the fuck? I know Chinese people who will hork and spit onto the streets, but at least that's the fuckin street! Not indoors!
BklynPunisher
Tech dept at work has primarily Indian and Chinese workers. You can’t even imagine the what the bathrooms are like.
Thegiflolz
Yeah I hear in China u can take a shit in public or piss no law against it
Spookadook
Idk about that. You can get a ticket for chewing gum in Shanghai

Singapore?

Don't know if legal, but I sure saw a lot of it

stop with the liesssssss
qazxswedcvfrtgbnhyujmkiol
As someone that used to travel to China for work,I personally saw parents let their children shit on the sidewalk numerous times. So no lie.
edofm
Its mostly rural people and its indeed reprimanded there by the law. Just like throwing away cigarette butt
SpecialAgentCharlesCarmichael
I do, in fact, have an idea.
ImFunnierThanYallGiveMeCreditFor
You ever caught a dude taking a shit in a urinal cause he doesn't know better?
SpecialAgentCharlesCarmichael
...maybe I don’t have an idea.

I work for a multi billion dollar fortune 500 with several offices globally. I have a fucking idea. Indian it dude that smelled worse than
squirreltactics
the Ganges. Also, just trained my own replacements today from Manila. I offered them gum multiple times.
NSATailoredAccessOperationsUnit
Oh Jesus, I know what you are saying.
Margrave9000
They probably thought you were just offering gum.
lcingl3oo
I have a very good idea actually. There were signs telling them not to throw used TP on the floor..
lcingl3oo
Never shake a male Indian's left hand, they splash water on their junk and kinda.. rub it in.
lcingl3oo
Some times they'd use a water bottle, most times they used the urinal water.
Bakewelltart
Thats cause if you flush in most countries it blocks the pipes and causes a back up... they are probably wondering why there isnt a bin
Liquidxhuman
Used to work at Microsoft and the amount of Indian people who dont wash their hands after taking a shit is fucking disgusting
andreisokolov
My graduate program shares a building with the nursing program. There are make nursing students that don't wash their hands.
cleverplaydoh
I wish I didn’t know this.
IronRod
This is why if you're going to shake hands, you should NEVER offer the left hand to an Indian person. It's for wiping with.
coIdtoes
Omg ew
upvotehypnotoad
Jokes on them, I wipe with the right

I use toilet paper. Ba-dum-tish. Thank you! I'm here all week. Don't forget to tip the bar staff.

Ever visit an Indian restaurant?
tlouman
There you go, Can't visit any restaurant now
IAmLeonine
Nope and thus it shall remain.
TheMadOnion
No but now that you said that I never want to. Makes perfect sense when you think about it.
whiskyinajar
Makes sense why Indian food is overly spicy

samsonguy920
Not feeling the desire to, now.
Crustypeanut
Not just indian people. I've seen whites, blacks, mexicans, all of 'em. Its gross. I mean cmon people, SHOULDN'T THIS BE COMMON SENSE?!
Liquidxhuman
While yes I agree everyone does it from time to time. It was 100% of the Indian population and that's no exaggeration.
Liquidxhuman
Also know that I had never heard of this nor was told about this so I was not predisposed to think that. Only after starting work there
Automatvapen
Spent vacation with tons of brits a few weeks ago. A majority of them didn't even flush when they took a dump! Let alone wash their hands!
Somnipresent
Well those were shitty people you found. Same as any peoples.
Automatvapen
Well, sure, but two years prior I spent another vacation at a hotel with tons of brits, and it was all the same there too sadly.
GoAwayOrIWillTauntYouASecondTime
Are you seriously arguing that all of these ethnicities have non-hand-washers in equal proportion?
koopaklopp
Well, they at least are saying that there are people from all ethnicities that don’t wash their hands. Absent a study on it, who knows the %
GoAwayOrIWillTauntYouASecondTime
Those who observe.
Crustypeanut
I don't know about equal proportion - but non-hand-washers exist in all ethnicities and in relatively too-large amounts.
shoulkion
The number of people in general that don't lol. Patients in a hospital even don't
pajamallamadrama
I get judged for using hand sanitizer. My hands are INCREDIBLY sensitive to water. If I don't put lotion on in seconds after contact >
pajamallamadrama
with water, not only do they dry out really bad but it drives me insane. I HATE the way they feel after getting wet. I can't stand >
pajamallamadrama
to touch anything after either. Stop judging me, at least I'm doing SOMETHING to keep clean.
AUGACUGAAUCGUCGUAG
Patients are ignorant apes. What's horrifying is that I'm pretty sure my region was having this issue among nurses.

Even doctors have trouble with it
WickedPixies
In Vegas recently - Can't count how many women checked their hair/make up but didn't wash their hands. GROSS.
cleverplaydoh
What the fuck is with that??? Or the ones who wave their hands in the water and then just leave. Use soap you fucking animal!
Unravelled
To be fair water alone literally does 90% of the job. Soap is just to be extra careful, so just water is wayyy better than nothing.
WickedPixies
I work in the food industry - when I use the restroom I'm the hand washing police.
HelaSisterOfThor
I too work in one of those environments.

Some people just don't like it when you say Indian people are "smelly". I don't think you're a racist or anything, I just think it's mean.
joeyjojosharknado
Fair enough, but my colleague had a bad BO problem and it was only people saying "you stink" that made him (literally) clean up his act
Sphinct182
That is not accomplished by complaining about it in the Imgur comments. Here, we're just reinforcing negative stereotypes.
Sphinct182
Immigrants don't have an easy time fitting in. It's like bullying a new kid in school, it doesn't make anything better.
rainyrivers
Ok, I get where you're coming from, but I love in an area with a VERY large Indian immigrant population. About 25% smell awful. The rest 1/?
anicyril
If you tell someone as kindly as possible that their odor is offensive, they can take steps to change it.
KaruntheImmortal
Half Of Me is hurt that people automatically think of India. The other half is agreeing. In india you don't know if its cow shit or not...
PardusXY
Used to work with a lot of Bangladeshis, the fact the toilets smelt like curry just weirded most people the fuck out.
kojenk
Same here. Part indian, grew up outside. People from certain parts have terrible hygiene amd cleanliness.

Cow shit is large. Real confusion is with dog shit and human shit.
DigitalMau
so is that considered holy shit?
marsh166
I think about the one guy I sat behind on a flight from Beijing. Smelled like a dumpster and me trying to not dry heave for 12 hours.
ThePodd
I live by Intel. Can confirm I thought of Indians first. I've noticed a very strong trend, not just a generalization here.

I immediately think French. I've worked with multiple French people. Even the pretty girls smell really bad
warick
I work with a lot of different ethnicities, including many Indians. They often smell of curry, but rarely smell bad.
warick
Middle easterners are the worst for B.O., in my experience.
warick
Indian chicks do have some greasy ass, unkempt hair though.
TheFastpaws
Sadly in Maryland I've had to leave stores the smell was bad enough a few times.
Mimsey
Ok, but what about Indian Americans? Like 50% out of dozens of classmates, friends, coworkers, etc, never brushed their teeth or deodorize.
Mimsey
Dated a brilliant math grad student who just refused to brush her teeth, and even threatened violence for suggesting she try it.
PoIluticorn
I don't know about India as I've never been but the TCNs in Qatar were mother fucking brutal smelling. Next level skin peelers.

I tought about UK and France. People who think deodorant is a shower in a can.
exlurker42
Dude I've been to france. Finding deoderant was a challenge and when we did it was this rollerball shit we haven't used since the 60's.
Lastavica
YOU TAKE THAT BACK! Rollerball RULEZ!
ziltoid125
A challenge? Have you tried like, any supermarket?
exlurker42
Weren't many around and the ones we found didn't have it. Eventually found a pharmacy that did.
AlexSomething
If you found it in a pharmacy then it's either an anti-transpirant or a very specific brand. France's supermarkets have loads of deodorants
liekkio
Were you in the middle of nowhere? I am in France (and the States) a lot. Except for the brands being different it is pretty much the same
LurkerOfDarkness
Was probably a challenge because they couldn't find their regular brand.
LurkerOfDarkness
Aside from people having different preferences, rollers are better for environment and your health.
exlurker42
They also didn't work so....there's that.
FrogOrCat
Better than the stick kind?
LurkerOfDarkness
Rollers and sticks are equal in those obviously.
GerhardRammelhausen
Aren't they unhygenic? especially those balls that turn all they scraped off you back in to the container?
LurkerOfDarkness
No, they don't scrape anything off, much like a steamroller doesn't scrape off the asphalt. You may find a loose hair that sticks though.
AlexSomething
You're supposed to use deo on a dry, and most importantly, clean skin. You don't use it after sweating to cover the smell.
yaddiex3
Can we talk about the Amish?

Why should they adapt and use something just to please the engländer?

Of course, they'll never see it.

Horrible. They smell absolutely horrible. Body odor and farm animals. Yuuuck.

Hey, there were no fancy parfume- shops in the 18th century for hard farmers...

Ok
CommonSense0
What about them? I visit Amish country all the time and have never noticed
KCBeard
Some who don't wear deodorant, and drive the majority who do crazy.
magneticgumby
Do you actually get out into the communities and past the tourist front? B/c horror stories from an ex who interacted with them at hospital
Nubz9000
When people think fat dumb fuck, they think American. Even though we landed on the moon. It fits for a reason though.
AhritheFoxx
Only a handful landed there and only several thousand were involved 40 years back. All othrr 300 mio people fit pretty well
battlestargingerpubes
In my time living in America I met some of the smartest people I know. I also met some of the fattest people I know.

There’s only 300mil+ in the US as opposed to the other 7.3 billion. Step up.
LurkerOfDarkness
It's not that others can't go to the moon, many countries have the technical skills and money to do it, there's just not a pressing need.
Patches3000
They probably could if they figured out how to use fucking contraceptives
blackguard89
No worries, if I'd tell you my nationality, I'm sure there's plenty that would consider me a beggar and a thief

Mexico is actually dumber and fatter than us but it's racist to say so.

Because it's wrong. The fat part. Also I wouldn't say dumber, but less educated. https://renewbariatrics.com/obesity-rank-by-countries/

Rule of thumb: if you tell lies about a whole culture, it's racist. If it's true, it's alright.
