Bro you went to those cities, what do you expect lmao

 

[FunkMiller]

Everywhere else is two showers a day right?
That’s the Australian standard.

Sometimes three if you're in Far North Queensland in January.

 

[Toots]

Uninspired trolling is always sad...
Also OP please show a pic of yourself so everyone understand why all the european you met during your business trip went out of their way to not appear attractive to you.

No one said they were not attractive people they just smelled like year old ass.

If you live there you either know or it's you.


You want a pic ?

Yea mate theres some stinky cunts over here. I was a bus driver a for few yrs and I smelt nasty shit I hadnt smelt before. I would start to realise certain passengers who stank and drove past them cunts if nobody els was at the bus stop.

 

[ADiTAR]

Europeans still think they have the climate of yore. There are almost no ACs anywhere, not on trams or sometimes metros or trains. They would go protest about climate change but not really addressing it themselves. It's getting hotter, put deo and turn on the fucking AC.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

In Spain people take a shower once a day, a consequence of the warmer weather. Honestly, we are also shocked at our neighbors regarding hygiene.

 

[thefool]

Any place in the world packed with people is gonna smell.

You can always tell at the office too who will stink up the kitchen microwaving their food. And correlating it, who stinks of their food at their desk.

Lets face it. It's not the people who do Burger King or Subway sandwich takeout with a coke who reeks up half the floor and cafe. Some people just dont give a shit. It got to a point even one of the execs at my old work even yelled out in the cafe "who is making all the smelly food?". lolol

 

[West Texas CEO]

The French are obviously by far the stinkiest people, and I would give 2nd place to the Portuguese. They tend to reek of dirty fish and rotten olives.

 

[Insane Metal]

RoboFu dropping them truthbombs.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Funny thing is I've never been to Paris. But it seems every person I know whose been there says it's trashy and dirty. Never heard anything about it smelling bad, but they say there's garbage and dog crap everywhere. probably due to overload of tourists, not enough garbage clean up service, and possibly just a malaise in general public cleanliness. Contrary to what you see on TV when Paris is promoted as an uber old, classic and clean looking city.

 

[Insane Metal]

Yea the daily shower thing is pretty much just a US thing, combine that with people in general are pretty awful at taking care of their hygiene (don't know how to shower or apply deodorant properly) it's a bad combination

Nope, in Brazil we take at least one shower a day. Most people take two or more.

And what about people who don't shower because it makes them sick? Asking for a friend, well not actually a friend more like a poster on a site I frequent.

[Dural]

In the US, at least locally, the biggest stank problem is people that think they need to hot box it before going in to a store. The smell of dank weed is damn near everywhere I go anymore.

Go to any American train or bus station and I think you'd have the same experience. America is mostly just a bunch of people driving around in their SUVs to pick up their groceries, which is great because you never have to smell each other.

I used to ride the bus to school and this is not true. Also anecdotal evidence from NYC's subway.

Yea you get them cunts who think everyone will love it when they open up there tub to reveal boiled eggs rubbed in garlic, or some stanky arse curry. Mother fuckers stick to dry pasta and chicken or a good old cheese sandwhich (thats probably classed as right wing now days). Theres a time and place and i love some nasty stinker food myself so lets stop that shit in the work place and public transport.

 

[Robot Carnival]

I've been to a few places in Europe on a trip before, and I won't say the people really are bad in terms of smell. but they definitely do smell. could be a diet and living habit thing? I know some of the people with lower income might be living in places where their shower solution is literally a shower head that's connected to their toilet water tank in a space that's smaller than a closet.

for context, I think the worst smelling person I've every came in contact with was many years ago when I was still a student delivering pizza in the US. I've been to this one guy's place a few times, and he's a decently heavy set guy but was usually dressed pretty nicely when he answer the door. shirt and pants and such. but hooo boy did he smell bad. like, I don't even know how to describe it other than it's like something rotting. but I think he knows it and feels bad about it since he usually tips the drivers pretty well even for just a small order. but other than that, I don't think I've had that many smelly encounters in the US outside of maybe stuff like E3 and Anime Expo.

 

[Paasei]

Do you guys know what soap is? I mean really .. say it with me D E O D E R A N T. You have got to be some of the smelliest people I have ever been around and I've been to a lot of places. We need to start dropping crates of old unsold axe body spray into Europe or something. I am a person who is always very quiet and polite, but even I had a few audible gasps at the putrid smell that lingered in the air when people walked by. I know you know how. Some of you do wash. Some of you smell down right pleasant ... not nearly enough though. Not even close.

Ps. Wash your ass ...


Pps. Everyday ...

As someone from the Netherlands (the country that has Amsterdam as its capital city, Saying this because I met people who genuinely have no fucking idea that Amsterdam is a city and not a country), I can tell you that Amsterdam is a scumbag city that apart from the buildings doesn't represent the country or anything Dutch. Only tourists, expats and mobsters live in Amsterdam. Fuck that place.

Also, why did you expect anything from those cities in general, rofl? Good joke.
It's like complaining about the smog in L.A.

 

[digital_ghost]

I took a dump while my ex was in the shower next to me.

She almost passed out in the shower and made gasping noises. She said what did you eat?

I told her it was her cooking. We broke up after that.

You broke up with her because of her cooking?

Or

[Melon Husk]

Might be because people walk to places instead of driving everywhere.

I broke up with her because of her abusive ass, anger issues, and cheating on me.

I was joking that she broke up with me because I criticized her cooking.

wow, that was more than I bargained for.
at least you got rid of that crazy woman.

A Smash Melee tournament in Europe.

People walk to places in Mexico and you can't smell from 10 ft away. People that live in hotter climates generally tend to shower before walking out the house and don't go 2-3 days without showering.

All the American continent, actually.
Since elementary school we are strongly reinforced on the importance of daily baths.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Dont people who stink even notice it themselves?

If you go 2-3 days without taking a shower, and during that time could be active, in summer sweltering heat and took 3 shits already, you'd think the avg person would notice they reek, their skin is sticky, and it stinks under the covers. Their bedtime pillow must get yellow and brown easily from oily hair too.

How does a person not notice this? Or it's simply they dont care??? Maybe its one of things where if hardly anyone else bathes in their location, then why should they kind of thing?

Three stories regarding body odor:

• Friend in a hotel in Paris was taking a shower when he heard the door being knocked repeatedly. He had to go check with a towel; it was one of the clerks who came to tell him he was using way too much hot water. He told me he was maybe 10-15 minutes there. They literally expected him to spend 5 minutes there at most. There's a reason why perfumes come mostly from Europe and France, they are still in Victorian era regarding hygiene and body odor.
• Japanese friends came down to Argentina for the first time, we were walking down the street when he mentioned that everyone around smelled like "milk". I kind of understood him, some people just smell as cigarettes or fried food but never thought about us smelling like "milk".
• Friend from US came to visit us on winter, so spending time in a closed room chatting and playing games. One of my local friends told me he smelled like shit. Indeed, down here we have bidets and we use that in combination with toilet papers (some people prefer using bidet directly) but very few ever use only toilet paper (unless in public bathrooms where there are no bidets) because you never finish cleaning yourself with only paper. Had to mention that to him and explain how bidets work. Obviously he didn't like it at first but ended up loving it.

 

[Liljagare]

It is equally fun to go to the USA, and visit a Walmart, see the whales on their electric scooters in pyjamas. They are so heavy that they probably can't even reach to wipe, and boy, let me tell you, the average stank at a US Walmart will make your eyes water. And every city has several Walmarts.

Never fun to see 300-500 kg people on electric scooters feeding their addiction, there is a reason as to why so many die in their early 40's from heart disease. It's all over the nation
too. Pee, poop, crazy mentally ill people and total druggies is a common theme to see too.

Walmart could almost charge tourists for a visit, it's a bizarre thing to experience, almost like a freak show.

My favourite chain to visit in the US is Piggly Wiggly, and, yeah, the name suits perfectly well. Holy crap, what a morbid place to visit. We are no longer talking 300-400 kg people, but 500 kg+. And it is not a uncommon thing to see people emptying their diapers in the isles as they drive around, absolutely horrid.

It's a sad thing to see and experience, the depths of depravity.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

My wife studied Italian for years. Dreamed of going there since she was a child. When she finally went, she wanted to vomit from how bad everyone smelled. Especially when she was trying to eat and she would get a big wiff of sour onion BO from thwle dude next to her.

 

[John Marston]

I'm saying the following as fact & will not mention the city but I went to India last year for work and it smelled like shit everywhere.

I'm talking raw sewage.

We were also told not to go out at night because packs of wild crazy dogs roaming the streets

Thats the nature of stores. The cheaper it is, the scuzzier the people. Go to a nice store like Williams Sonoma and you'll see zero derelicts even if you stood in the store 24/7/365.

No different than Canada. Walmarts are better here than in the US, but still you get your odd looking and trashy and fatter people shopping there. Similar cases include Dollarama, No Frills and Freshco (bargain priced grocery stores) and the like.

Then you go to a nice European grocery store, Metro (a higher priced nicer store), Whole Foods etc.... and the people seem 10x better in terms of appearance and courtesy...... and what cars they drive.

Haven't you been following the news. It's immigrants.

I went to Sweden and found there was zero deodorant in shops, unlike UK where Lynx is basically everywhere.

Went to a theme park on a warm day.... stuck on a roller coaster behind a guy who I swear must put his hands in the air and ride that thing instead of ever showering. I've never felt so sick on a ride. The queues were almost as bad and the trams were always a risk of dirty BO. It only takes one to stink a place up but it's the regularity of it which was shocking.

You know who I didn't mind... the immigrants, they were a fucking relief to stand behind / sit next to, clean and aftershaved up.

I honestly thought I could make a fortune selling Lynx out there.
