We had an engineer from Germany. You could tell when you got on the elevator that he had been on it sometime in the last 15 minutes. If the elevator was full and he got on everybody would exit on the next floor whether it was theirs or not. He was a very surly individual and no one wanted to confront him. I didn’t work near him but I heard many sticks of deodorant were left on his desk to no effect.

When I took a new job years ago, I “inherited” my predecessor’s secretary who had a definite problem with deodorant. It was one of the most unpleasant “management tasks” I ever had calling her into my office and telling her that she absolutely had to do something about her problem. Thankfully, she heeded my counsel and fixed it immediately.
