Is she right - should deodorant be compulsory on public transport?? http://www.smh.com.au/national/mp-u...-use-deodorant-ridiculous-20120110-1psna.html In my life I have had to, on many occasions, stand in crowded trains and being short in stature puts my nose at armpit level for a lot of males. Men let me tell you Eu de Armpit is not sexy!!! And joking aside, does she have a point that we should be demanding a level of hygiene not just from immigrants but from all Australians?
I dont know which immigrant group she appears to be talking about, I havent noticed a hygeine problem with particular groups. Only individuals.
Seriously : I haven`t been able to find a deodorant that doesn`t invoke an allergic reaction - Not so serious : but then again, I smell nice anyway. Anyway BB, what are you doing going around poking your nose into other people`s business? Didn`t you know that stumpy little women who go around sniffing other people aren`t sexy at all?
No she doesn't have a point. It's up to each individual to look after their own hygiene. If a guy wears the same shirt two days in a row are you going to arrest him BowerBird? I mean it's just ridiculous. Everyone should exercise common courtesy and scrub up if they're going to be in confined spaces with other people. But no one should be forced. I mean why don't you just flat out ban homeless people from using public transport? How about they fix the bloody air conditioning on the trains before they start complaining about people being "smelly". Having said that, I suppose this is just a stupid sound byte that was probably taken completely out of context and blown out of proportion, as per usual.
Well, maybe not compulsory (although some people on my bus certainly do stink). I'd hate to be the officer enforcing that law. I have a problem with tradespeople wearing dirty boots and greasy clothes on public transport too. Especially when they put those dirty boots up on a seat.
i think for people with preconceived notions its probably relatively easy to find someone who conforms to their expectations.
Yes but, as usual I am using a bit of humour as an opening into a more serious issue. Personal hygiene Smelly underarms - no problem Nits? Errrgh! But shared by all unfortunately Lice(scabies) ? You might get some occasionally but then there is this "crusted" or "Norwegian scabies
Yes, deodorant should be compulsory on public transport. I have lost count of the number of times I'd taken the bus and had to stand, or sit next to someone who smelled like they hadn't had a bath in a month. But supermarkets are also bad. People should just make sure they smell nice and clean when they go anywhere.
Just wondering, would trains have to employ an "arm pit sniffer", or would the conductor have to do it?
I have been to Australia many times and plan to go back very soon. There is a distinct scent that is clean and beautiful that comes off the surf. Otherwise no problems. Auditions for the job of "deodorant enforcement" are being held. This is a growth position and soon enough you will be a sniffer to the STARS... Jessica Biel gets checked before a show.
As offensive as BO can be, its just as offensive to legislate hygiene. Not sure if there's a sensible solution to this problem.
Today is another day when you should try upping your dosage. This might tone down the frequency of which you reply to imaginary posts.
Its true though, if they are arriving from certain locations that might not have the same access to water and other aspects of hygiene and thus the concepts are completely foreign. Clean promotes social harmony. Silly hippies smell too so its no wonder the media got caught up in a stink about it!!!
