Working with them at my job, I’ve notice a trend of millennials and young folks smelling awefull. In conversations when I ask in a round about way about showering and taking a bath, they pretty much say they do it every now and then or looking at it as some strange phenomenon! Even my nephew rarely takes baths and I have to get on him about it since he works in the public and deal with gasoline around him. What gives?
>It’s really a European thing. ...................
Yes.
I work at a University... you can’t even stand next to some of them. They compete with the Professors who are THE dirtiest people here.
Grown adults who NEVER heard of personal hygiene.
Didn’t they say the same about you guys, in the 60s?
Thankfully my son is the opposite, he’ll take two showers in a day if he has worked hard.
“Not necessarily true. Shower is a fairly new concept.”
The ancient Greeks were the first people to have showers.

Too ignorant to know what Toilet’s are for.
This is a tenant of Greenie life.
that she had to council repeatedly
frequently enough to build habit with.
I was in colege when the whole ‘grunge’ thing was a fad.
I'm a Grammar Nazi. And I'm about to stoke out here. Arrg.
Offending people with your funk is a type of protest.
***Russians were not so finicky about bathing and tended to bathe regularly,***
I remember reading of a 18th Century Russian official rejecting a request for bathtubs for soldiers. His words were...”In three months the river will be warm enough.”
We had to take a young woman to the office once and talk to her about personal hygiene. Nobody would work with her. She said that nobody in her family believed in bathing because it wasn’t healthy and all of them were petrified of water. We told her to clean herself up or don’t come back. She didn’t come back.
She's a textbook definition of a millennial, but she takes a shower in the morning before work, a shower after arriving home from work, a shower before bed time...and on the weekends, she throws a bath or two in there.
And if she happens to have a date, showers right before the date, then showers when she gets in from the date.
I guarantee you that my water bill is 40-60 bucks more because of it.
But then, on the other hand, she pays the whole bill about every other time, so...
She also tells me and her Mom that she loves us and appreciates all that we've done for her, and she buys me a MAGA hat and an NRA T-shirt, she has her own 401k, pays her own way on everything...ya know, come to think of it, maybe that millennial stuff ain't too bad.
Never mind.
The new Chicago Manual of Style says you can put prepositions at the end of sentences now...at.
They’re trying to save our water supply.
First I have heard of this but I do know that many Europeans practice this same thing of not bathing like we do in the states.
That’s a tad OCD.
Sometimes you can fix it by sharing some really hipster Patchouli Hemp soap with them.
They just want to fit in with our new foreign born Ruling Elite.

I have heard that weak people identify with those perceived as meaner or better than they, thus the full middle eastern like beards on our wimpy boys?
Winner!
That one's mine. Simple typo. I actually do know how to sepl. 8~)
That’a an awful tenet that should be counseled...
Essential oils replace bathing.
“...stoke...”
Heh, heh.
