<p>he's fat. he watches tv on his computer all day (literally) or plays facebook games. (his classes end at noon.) I don't know how he sweats by sitting down, but he reeks something bad. Like I gag at the smell and put more deodorant on me to cover up the smell. it's rather disturbing. lol. I've passed by hobos who smell better than him.</p>
<p>Holy crap… am I your roommate?</p>
<p>dude, I only smell because you run the tap or flush the toilet when I’m in the shower so it runs cold… now I don’t like to shower anymore</p>
<p>I know you guys are taking this as a joke topic. But seriously. He does smell. It’s really disgusting. I had to throw my covers over head when i was going to sleep once just to block out the smell and even then I smelled it. So gross. lol</p>
<p>C’mon last night it was only because someone spilled pig blood on me during lab and I just too tired to change clothes. Plus it’s really embarrassing for me ok? I can’t help it and some people are just genetically predisposed to sweating profusely after they eat Chipotle. Now if you would only let me shower like I used to…</p>
<p>I feel bad for you…I had a roommate like that(in boarding school) and I asked him to take shower daily but he wouldn’t listen… there was nothing I could do…how would I go up to the head of the dorm and tell him that I want a roommate switch because mine smells…so I suffered the whole 6months…good luck…</p>
<p>Hmm, that’s not an uncommon problem. Since you can’t force your roommate to shower, I suggest getting an air freshener that you can plug into an outlet. Perhaps that will at least mask the smell. Open the window too. Plenty of fresh air.</p>
<p>Does he not shower daily? Have you asked him about it?</p>
<p>Don’t think he showers daily. Hell I don’t think he even brushes his teeth some days. lol It’s mainly just the pits man. I know that smell when I sweat after a soccer game or cardio/working out. I can’t exactly ask him to put on deodorant now though. That’s just pretty mean, even for my standards.</p>
<p>People who smell bad are usually so used to it that they think they smell just fine.</p>
<p>Be a nice roommate and let him know he reeks.</p>
<p>It would be mean to NOT tell him, considering that his smell severely hampers his socializing ability. Then again, I am guessing he doesn’t talk to people much anyway, but like flumoxed said maybe he doesn’t even realize it.</p>
<p>lol good guess liquid. all he ever does is watch tv as i said before and if not that, well the few times i even turn my head to look at him, it’s facebook + some chat/IM. Hell people on they floor last week were asking me where my third roommate was. hahaha</p>
<p>if it goes to a point that it disturbs you terribly that it’s already affecting your studies… yous should bring that to the attention of your dorm head so that actions will be taken. I will change room if I were you.</p>
<p>Just say it hampers your academic ability having to deal with the scent, and maybe something good will come out of it.</p>
<p>There was an issue like this on my floor too.</p>
<p>I suggest you tell your RA about it and let them confront them, it’s their job to be awkward anyway. If this is seriously affecting your education then it should be taken as if you had a roommate who always plays loud music or something, let your RA know that so they can take it seriously too.</p>
<p>My first roommate smelled of putrid mushrooms married with this indescribable inhuman scent. He would constantly leave the ****ing door open and the odor would actually waft 30-40ft down the hall–it was unreal. ALSO:</p>
<p>-He had a permanent cough and constantly cleared his throat (due to what he called "dragon syndrome).</p>
<p>-He slept on a bare mattress (I offered him sheets, my friend offered him sheets, hints were incessantly dropped to no avail). </p>
<p>-He would blare terrible, terrible music from his laptop speakers and lounge out of sight on his bed with the door ajar such that it looked to any passerby that it was my music. </p>
<p>-He locked the door anytime he left the room–even to use the bathroom–which resulted in being locked in just a towel 3-4 times.</p>
<p>-He would leave half consumed beers from Saturday night in my fridge for days until I finally threw them out.</p>
<p>Needless to say, I found other living arrangements. </p>
<p>My advice: grit your teeth and get your **** done; functionally, there’s nothing you can do but endure.</p>
<p>Lol I didn’t mean disturbing as in disturbing me such that I can’t study. I just thought it was weird how someone can smell of b.o. when he does nothing but watch tv and sit in a chair. There’s no physical movement whatsoever…
Appreciate your guys’ comments though. I would hate to have a roommate that plays **** music out loud. Oh wait. That’s my other roommate. lol. But I dealt with that problem.</p>
<p>Just tell him if he ever wants to get a girlfriend, he should stop smelling like ****.</p>
<p>Tell that to his Everquest wife.</p>
<p>Somehow I doubt getting a gf is one of his priorities lol. if it were, he wouldnt be in this situation in the first place. </p>
<p>seems like op is just ■■■■■■■■ on cc, rather than having a real problem.</p>
