Firstly; I'm sure I'm in the wrong place to post this; but I can't find a forum for their second show (showing in Canada anyways) Too Posh Too Wash. I wanna know what I can do about my best friend. When I call him to come over to play some video games, I have to ask him when the last time he bathed, washed his hair, brushed his teeth, and changed his clothes before letting him come over. He stays for days. Not one or two; but 4-6 days; and he DOESN'T wash when he's here. He doesn't brush his teeth. No deoderant; not even cologne to MASK the horrible smell. My room is small, and that's where we hang out, and play video games. I sit in my computer chair (mostly because my TV is turned for better view, and so I can access my computer at the same time.. Multi-task! hehe) aaaaanyways. The other week he was here for four days. I forgot to ask the normal questions; he was playing games while laying on my bed, and sitting up on it too some of the time anyways. When I go to go to sleep, I have to open my window (middle of January..Woohoo) I mean, there's a window fan in my window 24/7/363.. 2 days out of the year it's too windy and cold to leave them in. It's so filthy, the ladies would die of horror if they saw it.. But this isn't about me. I have enough self dicapline to go after it.. some day.. *eyes move shiftilly* Back to my original question; HOW do I change my friend's habits of remaining filthy for WEEKS on end? I don't think he's ever had a girlfriend, he always says he's too shy.. But I'll wager he's not shy, they just avoid him. Least those who can still smell anyways. Oh, and his apartment, not too much a difference from him. His room smells so bad, I can't even describe it. I asked him today how many dishes he could see in his room, his reply was; "That I can SEE.. ummm.. 3. All cups." Ewwwwwwww.. Heaven only knows how long they've been there. HELP! Oh but don't tell him; I don't want to embarress him anymore than he does himself.
Awoooo!
You blame others for your failures; but do you credit them your successes?
Ewww, he sounds rank! You'll have to be cruel to be kind, tell him he's mot coming over unless he's at least had a bath first, or show him this thread -f he knows people are discussing his filthy habits he might be ashamed enough to take notice! Hope you get some good advice - contact C4 & see if they can get him on if there's another series. Good luck.
The only thing you can do is keep telling him, we had a situation in work a few years back where one person gave off a very bad aroma it was bad, but they were totally unaware of it they had no sense of smell. could this be the case with your friend.
Try spraying him with one of those airfreshening/bacteria killing sprays. If you keep it up he might take the hint and clean up. At least your room will smell cleaner and any bugs he's carrying will be killed off. (Dont spray it in his face though!!)
I had a friend like that. He came to stay & all we could smell were his feet. I had to ask him to wash his socks then I had to wash them myself (6 washes in total) before they were OK to be back in the same room. And I had to air my bedroom for 2 days before I could go back in it & that was with clean sheets.
You need to state it bluntly to your friend's face that his lack of personal hygiene is unacceptable & that he's not welcome in your home until he has done something about it. If friends & family can't give people a shake up who will? It's for his own future good.
You may want to point out the health problems associated with body filth such as skin infections, urinary track infections, lice, and itchy athletes foot. You'd think lack of intimate partners would be enough to get him in the shower. Also, you should try helping him out. From watching Kim and Aggie, you can sometimes see that a person has got themselves into a huge rut, even depression over the state of thier home and just need help climbing out. Offer to help your friend tidy up his apartment and maybe get him some "manly" scented shower gel. Once he's sees the person he is capable of being, he might not go back to his old ways.

How can you stand to be around him.
