I need seriously urgent help guys! I’m a PhD student and recently I’ve been assigned a FYP student. She’s has seriously bad body odour. It’s only been 1 week but I can’t stand her smell anymore. I can’t bring it up to my prof cos I think he can’t do anything about it. I’m also afraid I’ll get into deep S that might get me expelled if I told her to shower and use deodorant before coming to office, and she would report me for harassment at work.
Right now her body odour has been severely trapped in my entire office, and I can’t perform my work tasks comfortably even when I return to work after office hour. Even if I get my prof to get other staff to supervise her, it still doesn’t help because she’ll still remain in the same office/lab. What’s the best way to overcome this situation without getting into trouble?
Thanks a lot guys. Urgent!!!
Here are what netizens think:
- If her BO is due to her personal hygiene choices, do you think by confronting the matter she will care about how u feel or what u smell?If her BO is due to something she has not control over, do you think by confronting the matter it will change anything?
- From the looks of it , it sounds like you are a guy and it’s a touchy subject. Maybe you can approach another female student that you are close to to kindly tell her
- since you are wearing a mask, put axe oil on tissue and place on your nose behind your mask.
- Be direct rather than enduring it. U can buy a deodorant as a gesture that you care for her well being . Just put across it tactfully. I believe she will appreciate you rather than feeling embarrassed.
