Part of why I got an assessment was to access helpful adjustments at work, because I'm very sensitive to both sound and smell.
Currently the two people that sit next to me at work smell awful, and it's really inhibiting my working ability. They're also loud (talking, tea-slurping, apple eating, etc), but I can cover that by wearing headphones. The smell I cannot. I'm sure the guy on my left doesn't wash his clothes, and the guy to my right has terrible breath.
Does anyone else have this issue? Its' driving me mad, and my work cannot offer me a better place to sit.
Maybe , it's not just you. And these people actually do smell bad.
I had to get off a train last week because the bloke who sat down next to me stank .... and I had made it on first and snagged a good hidden away corner seat too. But I knew I couldn't handle that for 50 minutes!
