Smelliness to Proximity (ft.)

Have you ever noticed the correlation between how horrible a person smells and how close they feel is appropriate to stand next to another human being?  Having the (dis)pleasure of working with the general public has made me uniquely qualified to report on this subject.

I have provided a graph outlining my findings.



As you can see, the more offensive the odor, the closer the customer stands.  This finding is not prejudice to just those with body odor.  Oh, no.  Those suffering from massive halitosis are common offenders also.

These offenders do not respond to your feeble attempts at creating a comfortable distance between you.  They will in fact make every effort to close any distance you have managed to create.  These smelly folk like to spread their funk to as many people as possible.  I have found for each foot of space you put between you and this smelly offender, said offender closes the gap by a foot and a half.

Please, I encourage you, and those you know, to abide the social standard of personal hygiene.  This epidemic is affecting big box retail employees world wide.  Help end this alarming trend!

The cause of this phenomenon is still under investigation.  I will provide a follow up report if this finding is ever revealed.
