you should take a few minutes to read them. They are all about the same guy I work with, as is this following bit.....


Today is business day #8 that I've noticed this guy has worn the exact same sweater vest. I remember he wore it every day last week, and so far every day this week. And I can only assume that if he wore it all last week and, so far, all this week, he most likely also wore it all this past weekend. So this is really at least Day #10 that he's wearing it. And it's possible that he wore it all the previous weekend, so this is potentially Day #12. And I'm unable to recall if it was worn the previous week, so we could be looking well into a double digit number of consecutive days of this sweater vest.

Now, certainly, I've been known to wear the same thing perhaps twice in one week, but that's usually after it's been washed (sometimes the same pants will appear twice in between washes, or a cardigan sweater if I had another shirt on underneath it). But my nose is 100% certain that in the possible 12+ days that this guy has worn this sweater vest, it has not once been washed. It's also questionable whether or not he has showered in that time frame either.

The vest is a very thick wool; a super absorbent material of things such as body odor, sweat, dirt, and 2 weeks worth of general grease and grim. It's beige so I guess he figures that neutral matches everything. It didn't really go so well over his color-blocked rugby shirt though yesterday. But regardless, I'm not offended by his fashion choices; it's the olfactory offense that I'm disturbed by.

But I suppose that if there is no time at home for him to cut his fingernails, I shouldn't expect him to find time for laundry and showering either.
