My office mate smells, and the smell permeates the entire office and even gets stuck to my clothes. And I’m not the only one who can smell it. Other co-workers have noticed it, too. I think it’s a matter of not changing clothes enough or On The Tube not bathing well or often enough. She is such a nice lady that I really can’t mention it to her. It would hurt her feelings. Because our office has only five employees in it (we’re out in the boondocks), we have very limited office space. So there’s no possibility of moving desks and putting more space between her and the rest of us. And no air freshener or scent diffuser we’ve tried works. What can be done? Again, she’s very nice and friendly, and I don’t want to hurt her. -- Stinky Outside Seattle Dear Stinky Outside Seattle: This is the sort of delicate personnel matter best handled by the human resources depart- ment. Talk to whoever is in charge of HR for your company, even if that person isn’t located in the same office. If you don’t have an HR department, then try talking to your co-worker yourself. At the end of the day, ask your co-worker whether she has a minute before she leaves. Go into a private space, and say something to the effect of: “It may just be my sensitive nose, but I’ve noticed there’s sometimes a strong smell near your desk. I just wanted to make you aware of the issue, because I hope you would do the same for me.” It’s going to be awkward no matter which way you slice it. But telling her is a noble act. You’re bearing a minute of discom- fort to spare her further embarrassment and your co-workers further unpleasantness. Do be sure to have this talk at the end of the day, as telling her earlier, when she can’t do anything about it, would be cruel. Also, as this is the second letter I’ve received this month about a co-worker’s olfactory offenses, a public service announcement: To anyone thinking of skipping that pre-work shower, please don’t.

The person behind us repeated the word many times, until finally my husband politely asked the person to stop. Luckily for us, he wasn’t attacked for the court of public opinion request -- which is always a concern these days. Can we start a national campaign to stop the use of the F-word in public? Here’s an idea: If you wouldn’t say a certain thing in church, then don’t say it in public.
