Raggardusch (Swedish, trans. Greaser shower): a shower taken in deodorant spray
That's a pretty great description for the Axe body spray target demographic. A raged douch, if you will.
In the Netherlands we call it a French shower, I don't know why. (But i can guess)
I've never heard that one before, in my circle we call it a military shower.
This is fresh in my mind because I just took my kids to a game store to buy a gift for someone who wanted Pokemon cards. Big mistake.
Unfortunately I picked the day they had a MTG tournament. We barely got inside when the wall of stench hit us. One of them noticed a guys hairy ass crack hanging out as well. They were very verbal about both and I don't blame them.
Decided to just go somewhere else because it was unbearable. The whole ride they couldn't stop talking about how it smelled like unwashed ass, BO, and sour milk.
The card "Cleanse" was banned for being "culturally insensitive"...
IIRC, it was Yu-Gi-Oh! players that were infamous for weaponizing their smell to distract their opponents.
My local store just smells like cardboard, ink, and paint, even during the MtG tournaments.
Usually these signs exist for that one depressed dude who no one wants to say anything directly to but desperately needs someone to tell them it's a problem.
Uh... I have the ABCC11 gene so I don't have body odour and don't wear deodorant. Can I come in?
you have the ABCC11 gene so you can't smell your body odour. go shower
I don't know about her genes, but I once had a coworker who you could tell didn't use deodorant, but in a clean, freshly-showered way. I absolutely adored her smell when we got into a situation where she was reaching up very near me. It wasn't like the nothing or soap smell you get after a shower, but a human smell. It made me feel very content.
I love the feeling of being showered, wearing deodorant, cologne, and putting on freshly washed clothes. Along with having fresh breath after brushing my teeth.
It's just so much more pleasant for everyone. Smell good, look good, feel good. It does wonders for your confidence.
And if you're sweating in the shower, take a colder shower.
a magic the gathering store…that requires basic hygiene before coming in? that shit gonna be empty
24? who gets smelly after a day?
Almost everyone. Especially those who don't think they do. Ah hem.
Yous be surprised.
And this is clearly on a door to a card shop. Magic tournaments are infamous for individuals that have terrible hygiene.
FYI - you do not need to shower daily.
Although you can never admit this publically, as it has become the social expectation. But feel free to move to an alternate day shower routine if you haven't had a sweaty day. I guarantee no one will notice. Your skin will be less dried out. You'll save a not-insignificant-amount in water and energy and time.
Body odour comes from not showering for very many days, and more so from wearing unwashed smelly clothes.
You don't need to shower daily. You absolutely do need to wash yourself in some other way, like with a washcloth. Unless you have no BO at all, more likely than not that bacteria colony under the armpits will make you smell bad regardless of if you had a "sweaty day" or not. Plus, wearing clean clothes helps a lot.
Anecdotally, I went to a gaming convention once and that taught me to never do it again. The smell was so bad. Living the stereotype. And on a recent concert I had someone stink so bad in front of me, it ruined the experience.
Also, as a side note. The article giving an example about why someone doesn't shower being not liking having wet hair. I've heard this once. Do people not know they can just... tie their hair in a bun if it's longer or just avoid wetting it if it's short?
If your hair needs to be treated with a straightener or something, the humidity will mess it up. This is exactly why I cut off all my hair even though I love long hair, so I understand the complaint completely.
Whether or not you need to shower daily comes down to personal body chemistry and activity though. I have to shower one or twice a day since going on testosterone, but I could get away with every third day prior to that. The difference in smell is so staggering. I have to wash my face multiple times throughout the day now as well, but I've got fully make-up'd coworkers who are fine all day. It's just that our bodies are different.
I don't mean to complain about the sign's wording though; I think it's meant to give hygienic advice rather than actually police what products everyone is using and how often.
Pretty sure you should be paying attention to the spirit of the rule, not the letter.
Everyone, trust
i need something like this for people who have smoked in the last 12 hours. everywhere.
Love Lemmy going full nerdstank in the comments.
Don't take life advice from Redditor types example #353257774
The bathroom in my LGS literally has free deodorant openly available for use, and the owner reminds everyone whenever the store is really packed for an event. Unfortunately some people still do not get the hint.
Attend a LEGO convention every year and they always post a reminder as it gets closer to bathe and wear deodorant.
I put deodorant on but you can't force me to shower!!
Baths are just more fun.
This. I have total greaseballs tell me im unhygienic if i share that I don't shower despite bathing daily
"Your just sitting in your own filth" motherfucker you clearlyhave not showered in 3 days.
I really want to go down to one of the local spots and play, but I'm kind of terrified of what I'll find there.
