I was born without the ability to smell. As a kid I didn't give a shit if I was smelly. But as I got older I realised that other people do, so I made an effort to not stink. It's really not that hard
For real. My ex also had no sense of smell. He smelled perfectly fine. All he did was shower every other day or when he got super sweaty and some roll on deodorant when he showered. That's it.
Taking more showers has helped my skin and hair too. I'd imagine cologne and deodorant is a good habit even with those who can smell. I lost my ability to smell when I broke my nose as a kid.
It’s hard for me to smell anything besides gasoline and smoke for some reason. Now I’m always paranoid of how smelly I am in public. Back in college I put way too much cologne on
This is actually one of my greatest fears. I have a TERRIBLE sense of smell and when everyone else is complaining about a smell I can't sense it. Every day I worry... do I smell bad?
I used to have a completely unreasonable fear that I shit myself when I was still taking judo as a kid, those white gees prompt the imagination toward stains apparently
What’s worse is that apparently it’s not that people aren’t washing, it’s that they’re spraying multiple cans of the strongest smelling body spray they can get and just assaulting their opponents with the harshest chemical smell imaginable just to get them to surrender and leave.
people don't seem to understand that deodorant is not a masking agent, it's a preventative. spraying deodorant on your ass smelling armpits doesn't make the smell of ass go away. it just combines the smell of ass with deodorant, leading to a brand new mix of ass smelling scent

Some people smell like literal cat piss. Especially if they have cats and they aren't being particularly clean or hygienic. Cats love marking their stuff on your clothes
@@NeutralGuyDoubleZeroif a cat is peeing anywhere other than its litter box, it's either stressed due to pain or kidney problems, or an unneutered tomcat. or the litter box stinks and needs to be cleaned. they don't actually like peeing outside the litter box and won't do so without a reason.
I used to go to tournaments with a guy who had a "lucky" hoodie that he loved wearing to tournaments which reeked of cat pee(like 6 cats worth, at the time he had about 4 to 6 cats). He asked me once to give him a ride and I yelled at him that there was no way until he threw that god damned hoodie away. He bitched and moaned about it but he eventually did it and I gave him mine which had just been washed and was nearly brand new. I had no idea how someone could ignore the smell and choose to exist like that out in public and well lets just say once I got invited over for dinner it all made perfect sense once I stepped into their home. 😷

i grew up deer hunting so i knew about them. it's a little pouch of dirt and metal dust, and when you shake it up it causes the metal to oxidize and generate heat. they last for hours and they're dirt cheap (literally). genuinely great product that more people should use in the winter.
It's more confusing to me because I live in Michigan which is south of where Pat used to live, and north of where Paige used to live (Indiana or Illinois I think) before moving to Canada, so I got nothing.
This happened to me while I was in college, shared a four room apartment with, over the years, 7 people. One of them was The Smelly One. Now, none of us were particularly pleasant smelling, being a bunch of 18-20 year old dudes going to a technical school, but we all bathed(somewhat regularly), washed our clothes(somewhat regularly), and used(way too much) deodorant, but it was all completely understandable and expected stuff. Then He got moved in. Long story short, our complaints to the housing service were not enough to get him moved, but when our neighbors started to complain about, "Something had died in the walls." That led to people being sent out to our apartment, and discovering that in fact nothing had died, the smell was coming from the apartment next door, and when we opened the door to the technician he could not believe that a person could generate that kind of smell with a normal human body.
That shower shit would not work because whoever is in charge of determining who needs to shower will probably be a huge creep. A camera would immediately be set up, and all women at the tournament be told they need to shower.

Alot of these issues might actually be *dehydration* rather than bad hygiene. If you don't drink enough your body starts excreting ammonia as a gas through your skin rather than putting in in your urine, resulting in a very hobo type smell. As far as I can tell most body odor issues these days (at least outside the gaming community) stem not from bad hygiene but from metabolic problems like not drinking enough, eating things that create BO or having poor detoxification, forcing the body to put out more things via the skin instead of urine or feces.
This, 100%. You'd be surprised how many people take regular or semi-regular showers and still end up emerging from their homes like something out of _X-Files._
I visited my brother not too long ago, and he gave us a tour of city. We ended up visiting one of these games shops, and on the upper floor people were playing Magic I believe? I swear the one floor they dedicated for players straight up had a different climate from the rest of the building.
Honestly just set up a “disinfecting room” that all the players HAVE walk through. It’d be like a mist spray. You could even mist the crowd during the event in the main hall.
I will never forget the first time I went to an anime con and experienced smelling nerd stank for the first time. The con hadn't even started, we were standing in line for tickets!
Woolie have you never had a click-heat hand warmer? There is a tiny piece of metal inside the gel. When you flex it or "click" it it starts a microscopic reaction that causes crystals to form and spread through the gel. The reaction gives off heat and makes the gel harden. After it's all done you just soak the hand warmer in heated water to turn it back into gel and reset it. You can use it over and over until the reaction is too weak to warm enough. They're great. No need to throw it away.
As someone who works public events, the whole stinky situation isn't locked to just gamers, no matter what type of event I hosted, whether its about gaming, sneakers, sports, bridal conventions I am always hit with the wave of stink and it just lingers in a hot dense enclosed environment all it takes is about 50 not showered people to ruin a whole event.
Had a coworker when I was working retail who just *reeked*. After a few shifts, one of the team leads bought a stick of deodorant on his break, went to electronics (where the stinky guy was working), set it on the counter, and walked away. Didn't say a word. Stinky guy left not especially long afterwards, though I'm not sure if that was part of the reason or not.
I also know someone like that, we hung out in a friend group situation recently and I had to keep my distance and not walk behind them because it was like a trail
Pat's office story reminds me of one my dad told once how at his old job, there was a problem with a woman who had an awful smell that they had to pull aside and talk to about it. Turns out the poor woman just had an awful divorce recently and was forced to live in her car, so of course hygiene would be incredibly difficult to keep up with. Thankfully she was able to get some help and things worked out for her. I have severe doubts multiple entire tournament is just going through some things however. Mandate hygiene.
Fabreeze is a sugar based solution that just traps smells for a bit by chemical binding to the stinky compounds. The moment any water based liquid, like sweat for example, gets in it the fabreeze dissolves and releases all the old stink.
Tbf the girls locker room doesn't smell much better. I wasn't bering a creep, I was helping one of the PE teachers move some stuff around and I was immediately impressed by the presence of a mirror and disappointed in the not so unfamiliar stink.
I have a rule for going to hobby shops:*do not look down!* if you do look down, you will see horrors beyond your comprehension in the form of the most poorly maintained feet you have ever seen in open toed shoes

Unwashed meta is real, there is a card in yu-gi-oh called “Unity” it’s effect says that you need to shake your opponent’s hand or you loose, one time someone spat on thier hand so the other player understandably refused to do the handshake thus he lost the match which later would lead konami to change the rules to make it a metaphorical handshake instead of a real one
@@PredictableEnigma the yugioh ban list it’s already too long as it is konami probably just decided it wasn’t worth it considering “Unity” it’s a support card for “YU-JO friendship”
Just to clarify: the card is called "Yu-Jo Friendship" If you refuse the handshake you don't automatically lose but both you and your opponents life points are halved by the combined total. Where this gets fucky is that if you have the card "Unity" in your hand and show it to your opponent then THEY MUST except the handshake.
Shoutout to the time I went to Dreamhack. The smell of unwashed teenage guys who've been consuming nothing but energy drinks & microwave pizza's for days + the occaional waft of axe circulating by the power of hundereds of computer fans is something I will never forget
The problem is people wear clothes they never change out of. Even when they wash them, their clothes are stained with the funk. You can hose them down but you need to make them wear shirts that dont stand up on their own.
Yeah a regular detergant on a typical wash cycls alone isn't enough for that level of grease. You gotta saturate that in dish soap first, let it soak for a long while, rinse and THEN wash as normal.
I get Woolie's idea with the tournaments trying to incentivize but the players showing up smelling like literal shit should not be bribed with goods or rewarded for being forced to follow basic hygiene. If anything the players that show up that did shower should be getting rewarded. Only way to solve it is to act like pulling off a band aid and just kick stinky's out. The first few tournaments will probably be rough numbers wise but if it's a big enough tournament they will eventually come back and learning to not smell like shit.
Yep, you should not be rewarded for doing the bare minimum of what your supposed to do. Maybe not a full blown ban, but definitely a “GTFO! see ya next year when you learn to wash yourself!”
As a Yugioh player, the OCG bros got it rough. Their banlist makes half of all games pure chance, maybe even higher considering your opponent might be using their BO as a literal chemical weapon.
The Monkey Paw Curls: You get people who will get the best netplay for online games because they don't want to bathe while the ones with in person tournments will never have a good netplay ever again.
I repeat this nasty bit of Yu-Gi-Oh TCG history that I did for the last time they brought up stinky Yu-Gi-Oh players: There's a card that involves you being forced to physically shake hands with your opponent and people that used it would do nasty things to their hands to make it so that the people would refuse and then the user would try to get them banned for not following the rules. It had to be ruled that you can accept the concept of a handshake and gedture it from the other end of the table.
Konami needs to make a new tier 0 archetype where all monster cards are Waifus based on soaps and shampoos, call them "Lather Ladies" or some shit. This might be the only way to encourage YGO players to actually bathe.
Small table interview an hour before the tournament. Get a TO and someone that has put money into the event, and host 2 to 3 minute interview with participant. That way you can get age, smell, and personality. If they smell send them home or tell them they have to clean before the tourney starts other wise is a disqualification. If they are below the age of 18 give them a wrist band. If they remove wrist band they are dq and sent away.
The hand warmers you open and shake, are just very fine iron powder with some other stuff to hasten rusting. Rusting gives off some heat, and a fine powder oxidizes so quickly that it gives off enough heat to warm you. It's very neat. The gel hand warmer thing, those have a super-saturated solution of sodium acetate. When agitated, via the clicker inside or just through fidgeting with it vigorously enough, the solution suddenly freezes, which gives off heat. It's not as much heat as the other type, and doesn't last long, but you can reset them by boiling them in water to melt the solution again.
I guess I'm lucky enough to work in retail, so odd smells are just kinda par for the course. I've grown used to it, as have most of my coworkers. In my first three months, we found someone had put a bag of cheese behind the big bags of dog food, and we didn't find that for like a week by the stench that was giving off. Since then, I've seen the unspeakable in bathrooms (and fitting rooms, fucking disgusting people), someone blowing up the pharmacy bathroom with an amount of drugs that must have been deadly, we've had homeless people come in smelling like a million horrible things, people were once shitting in our trash cans in protest of something that happened before I was even hired, our cooler once malfunctioned and the milk exploded in it overnight, etc. ad nauseam. Yesterday, it was just that our main backstock smelled like shit for some reason. We stopped asking questions after a while. Now we have the problem of very little air conditioning, and running around the store all day in desert heat. I feel like I'm sweating buckets, and the best I can do is shower before and after, put on deodorant, and hope for the best. There's not a whole lot I can do except hope I'm not bad enough to be noticeable above all the other shit.
Ever noticed how, for the past few years, almost all recycled - or partially recycled - packages and wrapping for individual food items emit a strong chemical smell? And depending on the food, it'll sip through, changing its taste. The other day I got organic dark chocolate mixed with coffee beans: no irregularities whatsoever; classic hard type plastic encasing it. Then, regular dark (85%), (same brand), but wrapped in paper for some reason, most likely recycled paper, and the artificial aftertaste is there -- very noticeable...
Between variable input-lag depending on monitor brand; Controllers which may have some degree of analog drift; Arcade stick quality; And now THIS...tournaments end up not being that great of a gauge for skill. Fort Minor got it wrong: it's more along 20% luck; 10% skill; 70% endurance.
That No Johns squishy thing is a reusable hand warmer. It's a supersaturated solution that will crystalize and become expthermic when given enough agitation. You can reset it by putting it in boiling water until it turns clear and then carefully lifting it out and letting it cool slowly. They're quite fun.
Woolie, that type of pocket warmer is reusable! If you boil it it goes back to gel! There's a little metal thing in there that, if squeezed, forms a nucleation point to start the reaction that warms it, but it's reversible!
Woolie, those pocket warmers with the gel are supposed to do that. The metal bit inside shifts or something and it causes a chemical reaction that makes it warm /to warm your hands/ it'll go soft in a little bit, dont worry
Had a guy that I use to work with that stank to high hell. I thought I was imagining it until someone confirmed it and I asked why no one did anything about it. I was then told dude was technically homeless and people didn't have the heart to mention it to his face or fire him. Same situation another time where a guy reeked of booze and someone had to tell me he was going through some personal shit so don't say anything.
I've been the stinky person as well but it was because I'd walk to work everyday. I eventually started to wear workout clothes for my walk and carry work clothes in my backpack to change into once I got there. It was not a problem at all until we changed managers and she got it in her head that I was stealing toilet paper or some shit because I'd use the bathroom before my shift to change clothes. One day I had a feeling someone was taking a peek through the stall door and I just pretended like I didn't notice and I popped off my sports bra- immediately I hear someone run out the bathroom whispering "oh my god oh my god oh my god!" Honestly I'm still proud of that power move, I mean- what did she expect?!
I can't imagine what kind of conversation she had with HR after that. "What?! Why were you looking in on her while she was in the bathroom? She could file a lawsuit against us!" (she'd always call HR when she'd get uncomfortable or she felt like there was a conflict. I think her logic behind it is that she always wanted to be the first person to make a complaint before one of us did. Instead we all just eventually quit and it was a lot of people who worked there for at least half a decade or more)
I used to think some of these people were too poor to afford soap and even running water, which some are,……until I started actually playing MtG. Now I know there is NO EXCUSE for not being able to afford soap and water if you play Magic!!!!
It's embarrassing, but one time, I WAS the stinky guy. 18 years old, right out of high school, first job I ever worked was a Goodwill that was about half a mile from where I lived, so I would walk there in the morning and if she was able my mom would pick me up at the end of the day. It was summer. Now in my defense, I *DID* shower first thing every morning, EVERY day. But that wasn't enough. And one day I get the "you stink" meeting. So you best believe a stick of Old Spice deodorant became my best friend, I applied that shit every morning, pits AND balls, and sometimes even re-applying on my breaks. Either way, worst job I ever worked, retail is hell and regardless of that incident the manager was a capital C so I quit after like a year.
Growing up with sisters helps breaking the stereotype on women being incapable of gross things. The absolute horrors I witnissed in the toilet after any one of my sister forgot to flush during that time of the month...
I can't understand the mindset. Maybe I'm the weird one, but even if I haven't left the house all day I still shower at the end of the day. Being smelly and in public is a horror scenario for me.
It's not a mindset, it's a lifestyle. When you're so autistically obsessed with throwing your life away, showers are as meaningful as exercise. There is no "choice" in these situations its just how they are inside
@@tylerlackey1175 Petty much. And why a lot of people seem to not give a shit about it. See all the VTuber girls that also don't bathe/shower. Which is near 80% of them.
I broke my nose when I was 13 when my aluminum bike folded and lost my sense of smell. If I stopped carrying deodorant and cologne on me and never showered after the gym I think I could be the next Yu-Gi-Oh prodigy.
Amendment to Pat. 2nd offense life time ban, first offense DQ. Unironicly this should be a thing, it's a very simple ask for these beasts to shower once a year before a big tournament.
"The hygiene rule was not international" Should not be as funny as it is

Jokes aside, I honestly can't understand it. I'm too self-conscious to go outside without having a shower.
I will never forget the first time I went to an anime con and experienced smelling nerd stank for the first time. The con hadn't even started, we were standing in line for tickets!
Woolie have you never had a click-heat hand warmer? There is a tiny piece of metal inside the gel. When you flex it or "click" it it starts a microscopic reaction that causes crystals to form and spread through the gel. The reaction gives off heat and makes the gel harden. After it's all done you just soak the hand warmer in heated water to turn it back into gel and reset it. You can use it over and over until the reaction is too weak to warm enough. They're great. No need to throw it away.
As someone who works public events, the whole stinky situation isn't locked to just gamers, no matter what type of event I hosted, whether its about gaming, sneakers, sports, bridal conventions I am always hit with the wave of stink and it just lingers in a hot dense enclosed environment all it takes is about 50 not showered people to ruin a whole event.
It's the inclosed, no open windows that really does the trick, especially on a hot day
Had a coworker when I was working retail who just *reeked*. After a few shifts, one of the team leads bought a stick of deodorant on his break, went to electronics (where the stinky guy was working), set it on the counter, and walked away. Didn't say a word.
Stinky guy left not especially long afterwards, though I'm not sure if that was part of the reason or not.
I also know someone like that, we hung out in a friend group situation recently and I had to keep my distance and not walk behind them because it was like a trail
Very nice of pat to let his baby host for him
I am more amazed that Pat doesn't know what a pocket warmer is than any of the other things said in the clip.
Pat's office story reminds me of one my dad told once how at his old job, there was a problem with a woman who had an awful smell that they had to pull aside and talk to about it. Turns out the poor woman just had an awful divorce recently and was forced to live in her car, so of course hygiene would be incredibly difficult to keep up with. Thankfully she was able to get some help and things worked out for her. I have severe doubts multiple entire tournament is just going through some things however. Mandate hygiene.
Fabreeze is a sugar based solution that just traps smells for a bit by chemical binding to the stinky compounds. The moment any water based liquid, like sweat for example, gets in it the fabreeze dissolves and releases all the old stink.
I don't always agree with Pat but by God when he's right HE'S RIGHT
Papa Nurgle is pleased with this outcome.
How does Woolie not remember that a stink, the horrible smell of axe on top of bo in a high school locker room.
Tbf the girls locker room doesn't smell much better. I wasn't bering a creep, I was helping one of the PE teachers move some stuff around and I was immediately impressed by the presence of a mirror and disappointed in the not so unfamiliar stink.
I have a rule for going to hobby shops:*do not look down!* if you do look down, you will see horrors beyond your comprehension in the form of the most poorly maintained feet you have ever seen in open toed shoes
sandals are a blight on humanity.
@@miguelnewmexico8641
Hey, that's not fair for those of us in hot climates and you know it!
Mind you, you should still take care of your feet and sandals. People have a very low bar for passable foot hygiene and you should always endeavor to never be found short.
Unwashed meta is real, there is a card in yu-gi-oh called “Unity” it’s effect says that you need to shake your opponent’s hand or you loose, one time someone spat on thier hand so the other player understandably refused to do the handshake thus he lost the match which later would lead konami to change the rules to make it a metaphorical handshake instead of a real one
I respect the hustle but also fuck that person.
Why not just ban the card? It's clearly a gimmick anyways
@@PredictableEnigma the yugioh ban list it’s already too long as it is konami probably just decided it wasn’t worth it considering “Unity” it’s a support card for “YU-JO friendship”
Just to clarify: the card is called "Yu-Jo Friendship"
If you refuse the handshake you don't automatically lose but both you and your opponents life points are halved by the combined total.
Where this gets fucky is that if you have the card "Unity" in your hand and show it to your opponent then THEY MUST except the handshake.
Shoutout to the time I went to Dreamhack. The smell of unwashed teenage guys who've been consuming nothing but energy drinks & microwave pizza's for days + the occaional waft of axe circulating by the power of hundereds of computer fans is something I will never forget
The problem is people wear clothes they never change out of. Even when they wash them, their clothes are stained with the funk. You can hose them down but you need to make them wear shirts that dont stand up on their own.
Yeah a regular detergant on a typical wash cycls alone isn't enough for that level of grease. You gotta saturate that in dish soap first, let it soak for a long while, rinse and THEN wash as normal.
Kid: kicks snow in Woolies face
Woolie: "So you've chosen death
I worked in a PRISON, and it smelled like roses compared to some LGS events
I get Woolie's idea with the tournaments trying to incentivize but the players showing up smelling like literal shit should not be bribed with goods or rewarded for being forced to follow basic hygiene. If anything the players that show up that did shower should be getting rewarded. Only way to solve it is to act like pulling off a band aid and just kick stinky's out. The first few tournaments will probably be rough numbers wise but if it's a big enough tournament they will eventually come back and learning to not smell like shit.
Yep, you should not be rewarded for doing the bare minimum of what your supposed to do.
Maybe not a full blown ban, but definitely a “GTFO! see ya next year when you learn to wash yourself!”
As a Yugioh player, the OCG bros got it rough. Their banlist makes half of all games pure chance, maybe even higher considering your opponent might be using their BO as a literal chemical weapon.
The Monkey Paw Curls:
You get people who will get the best netplay for online games because they don't want to bathe while the ones with in person tournments will never have a good netplay ever again.
I feel like we glossed over the no foreigners thing.
I mean, that’s just Japan.
Shocking news Japan is xenophobic
Watching pat eat makes me feel unwell.
It's more the sound that gets me. How hard is it to eat before or after the podcast/stream? Or maybe take a 5 minute break?
What's so bad about it.
The true CSB experience
What's the big deal?
I repeat this nasty bit of Yu-Gi-Oh TCG history that I did for the last time they brought up stinky Yu-Gi-Oh players:
There's a card that involves you being forced to physically shake hands with your opponent and people that used it would do nasty things to their hands to make it so that the people would refuse and then the user would try to get them banned for not following the rules. It had to be ruled that you can accept the concept of a handshake and gedture it from the other end of the table.
We’re never beating the allegations yugibros
This puts a whole new perspective on the phrase, “We already know the smell of the game.”
Konami needs to make a new tier 0 archetype where all monster cards are Waifus based on soaps and shampoos, call them "Lather Ladies" or some shit. This might be the only way to encourage YGO players to actually bathe.
Small table interview an hour before the tournament. Get a TO and someone that has put money into the event, and host 2 to 3 minute interview with participant. That way you can get age, smell, and personality. If they smell send them home or tell them they have to clean before the tourney starts other wise is a disqualification. If they are below the age of 18 give them a wrist band. If they remove wrist band they are dq and sent away.
The hand warmers you open and shake, are just very fine iron powder with some other stuff to hasten rusting. Rusting gives off some heat, and a fine powder oxidizes so quickly that it gives off enough heat to warm you. It's very neat.
The gel hand warmer thing, those have a super-saturated solution of sodium acetate. When agitated, via the clicker inside or just through fidgeting with it vigorously enough, the solution suddenly freezes, which gives off heat. It's not as much heat as the other type, and doesn't last long, but you can reset them by boiling them in water to melt the solution again.
Someone made a stinky!
(It was about 63% of the attendees)
I guess I'm lucky enough to work in retail, so odd smells are just kinda par for the course. I've grown used to it, as have most of my coworkers. In my first three months, we found someone had put a bag of cheese behind the big bags of dog food, and we didn't find that for like a week by the stench that was giving off. Since then, I've seen the unspeakable in bathrooms (and fitting rooms, fucking disgusting people), someone blowing up the pharmacy bathroom with an amount of drugs that must have been deadly, we've had homeless people come in smelling like a million horrible things, people were once shitting in our trash cans in protest of something that happened before I was even hired, our cooler once malfunctioned and the milk exploded in it overnight, etc. ad nauseam. Yesterday, it was just that our main backstock smelled like shit for some reason. We stopped asking questions after a while.
Now we have the problem of very little air conditioning, and running around the store all day in desert heat. I feel like I'm sweating buckets, and the best I can do is shower before and after, put on deodorant, and hope for the best. There's not a whole lot I can do except hope I'm not bad enough to be noticeable above all the other shit.
Ever noticed how, for the past few years, almost all recycled - or partially recycled - packages and wrapping for individual food items emit a strong chemical smell? And depending on the food, it'll sip through, changing its taste.
The other day I got organic dark chocolate mixed with coffee beans: no irregularities whatsoever; classic hard type plastic encasing it.
Then, regular dark (85%), (same brand), but wrapped in paper for some reason, most likely recycled paper, and the artificial aftertaste is there -- very noticeable...
Between variable input-lag depending on monitor brand;
Controllers which may have some degree of analog drift;
Arcade stick quality;
And now THIS...tournaments end up not being that great of a gauge for skill.
Fort Minor got it wrong: it's more along 20% luck; 10% skill; 70% endurance.
>elementary school lost and found
I am AMAZED at how INSTANTLY I was brought back to those horrible memories. Thanks, Woolie
This is a strong shadow game effect.
That No Johns squishy thing is a reusable hand warmer. It's a supersaturated solution that will crystalize and become expthermic when given enough agitation. You can reset it by putting it in boiling water until it turns clear and then carefully lifting it out and letting it cool slowly. They're quite fun.
Woolie it's a reusable hand warmer, you clicked the activator this time, you can boil it to reset it
Already Woolie was resisting the journalism expectations that have been placed upon him
Woolie, that is a reusable hand warmer, you boil it for 15 minutes to reset it. You just so happen to click the little metal bit inside of it.
Again?! AGAIN?! How many times are the rules required to state to wash your ass?! This is the 3 time this was stated!!!
Woolie, that type of pocket warmer is reusable! If you boil it it goes back to gel! There's a little metal thing in there that, if squeezed, forms a nucleation point to start the reaction that warms it, but it's reversible!
Woolie, those pocket warmers with the gel are supposed to do that. The metal bit inside shifts or something and it causes a chemical reaction that makes it warm /to warm your hands/
it'll go soft in a little bit, dont worry
Had a guy that I use to work with that stank to high hell. I thought I was imagining it until someone confirmed it and I asked why no one did anything about it. I was then told dude was technically homeless and people didn't have the heart to mention it to his face or fire him. Same situation another time where a guy reeked of booze and someone had to tell me he was going through some personal shit so don't say anything.
how has pat never heard of hand warmers thats so crazy to me
I've been the stinky person as well but it was because I'd walk to work everyday. I eventually started to wear workout clothes for my walk and carry work clothes in my backpack to change into once I got there. It was not a problem at all until we changed managers and she got it in her head that I was stealing toilet paper or some shit because I'd use the bathroom before my shift to change clothes.
One day I had a feeling someone was taking a peek through the stall door and I just pretended like I didn't notice and I popped off my sports bra- immediately I hear someone run out the bathroom whispering "oh my god oh my god oh my god!" Honestly I'm still proud of that power move, I mean- what did she expect?!
I can't imagine what kind of conversation she had with HR after that. "What?! Why were you looking in on her while she was in the bathroom? She could file a lawsuit against us!"
(she'd always call HR when she'd get uncomfortable or she felt like there was a conflict. I think her logic behind it is that she always wanted to be the first person to make a complaint before one of us did. Instead we all just eventually quit and it was a lot of people who worked there for at least half a decade or more)
I used to think some of these people were too poor to afford soap and even running water, which some are,……until I started actually playing MtG. Now I know there is NO EXCUSE for not being able to afford soap and water if you play Magic!!!!
It's embarrassing, but one time, I WAS the stinky guy.
18 years old, right out of high school, first job I ever worked was a Goodwill that was about half a mile from where I lived, so I would walk there in the morning and if she was able my mom would pick me up at the end of the day. It was summer. Now in my defense, I *DID* shower first thing every morning, EVERY day. But that wasn't enough. And one day I get the "you stink" meeting. So you best believe a stick of Old Spice deodorant became my best friend, I applied that shit every morning, pits AND balls, and sometimes even re-applying on my breaks.
Either way, worst job I ever worked, retail is hell and regardless of that incident the manager was a capital C so I quit after like a year.
I work at a huge second hand retail store and the variety of stink I've encountered has broadened my sensory horizons for the worse.

I get what Woolie is saying here. But like….tough luck. Learn to not hyper fixate to the point of smelling bad. Show no mercy to these people.
Mitchum 48hr Powder Fresh aerosol deodorant. Wield that shit like a weapon.
Growing up with sisters helps breaking the stereotype on women being incapable of gross things.
The absolute horrors I witnissed in the toilet after any one of my sister forgot to flush during that time of the month...
I can't understand the mindset. Maybe I'm the weird one, but even if I haven't left the house all day I still shower at the end of the day. Being smelly and in public is a horror scenario for me.
It's not a mindset, it's a lifestyle. When you're so autistically obsessed with throwing your life away, showers are as meaningful as exercise. There is no "choice" in these situations its just how they are inside
@@tylerlackey1175 what the fuck, dude
@@tylerlackey1175
Petty much. And why a lot of people seem to not give a shit about it.
See all the VTuber girls that also don't bathe/shower. Which is near 80% of them.
@@miguelnewmexico8641 can I help you
I'm losing it at woolie using a reusable hand warmer and not realizing what's happening
I broke my nose when I was 13 when my aluminum bike folded and lost my sense of smell. If I stopped carrying deodorant and cologne on me and never showered after the gym I think I could be the next Yu-Gi-Oh prodigy.
"No foreigners allowed, but you, stinky. Get in here"
💀
I actually disagree with Woolie here. Something being a common problem doesn't mean that steps to discourage it can't make it uncommon.
Wools you need to put the heat pack in warm water so the gel softens again, if its one of those with metal popping activator
15:14 why? Pat clearly hasn't worked a winter labour work.😅
Legitimize stink bullying. Its now part of the gamer code to call someone out for smelling bad.
Amendment to Pat.
2nd offense life time ban, first offense DQ.
Unironicly this should be a thing, it's a very simple ask for these beasts to shower once a year before a big tournament.
