Hi, I’m a longtime lurker of this sub and I have an issue that I’d like an impartial second opinion on.
I’m a 28 year old woman that works at a med lab. I love my job and I love knowing that I’m helping people even it’s just a small part in the grand chain of operations.
Recently we got a new coworker. I’m not entirely sure on her age, but I’d put her at early 20’s. She’s super sweet and dedicated to her job, often staying overtime to finish things up when others have already gone home.
Here’s the problem though.
She has an incredibly intense BO. At first I honestly thought it was one of my male coworkers, but after a few times of her walking past me and the smell lingering in the air for a good 10 seconds I know it’s her. I really don’t wanna be mean, but the only other time I’ve smelled BO anywhere close to as intense is when the local card store in town hosts MTG nights.
I talked to a friend about it and I said I was debating on telling her. He said to just leave it be because it’s not my business and if she’s doing a good job then who cares. I disagree and feel like this girl has the right to know. Sometimes you genuinely do go nose blind and if I was a little funky I’d want someone to tell me.
So WIBTA for telling her?
