SUPER ELITE UPPER TIER
I started at my new job about 5 months ago. And before I go any further, this is not a story about me and my BO, so temper your expectations accordingly. On my first day, I entered the building into that small area of double doors that separates the outside from the inside. It's kind of like the China Syndrome containment area. Two sets of double doors. As I entered that small area, I was smacked in the face by a powerful stench of BO. That kind where you know that wasn't just someone forgetting deodorant that day. It was someone who was angry at the world and wanted to punish people. Not quite like on a terrorist level. But maybe a step or two down that ladder.
As I was going in, someone was going out and my fear was they thought it was me. I hoped I never saw them again. And luckily, I haven't. But now, 5 months later, that room still smells like BO. And I have to wonder, "How is that possible?" Does BO have a longer halflife than most radioactive elements? Surely mixing with the air would dilute it somewhat, but no. This stench persists like Day 1. Which leads me to believe, what I smelled probably wasn't even Day 1.
So we're talking half a year of powerful body odor smell. I feel like scientists should be looking into this to come up with some kind of super weapon. Not sure exactly what, but that staying power is something out of a comic book.
Is it possible for a smell to last that long? Or is there someone going in at the end of each day and rubbing the armpits of his or her shirt on the walls?
