What does dog food, onion and curry all have in common?

You know what really disgusts me the most? People being unthoughtful and just smelling like B.O on trains. Especially in the afternoon when you are trying to have a relaxing train ride home, then all of a sudden you get someone sitting next to you that smells like one day old kebab with extra onions and garlic sauce! Sometimes I think, "Man, should I freaking say something to this guy?" and yes, its usually a guy! And to make matters worse its usually a guy in a shirt and tie!!!
I know when I smell! Surely they know they smell too? If I knew I smelt like B.O and I had no deoderant with me, I would go out and buy some and leave it at work for other such smelly incidents! I mean sure, one day you may have been a bit ditsy and forgot to put your deoderant on and walked out of the house. It happens... but once you start smelling yourself, off you should go to 711 to buy your $14 deoderant. Its worth it.
Call me racist, but some cultures smell more than others. Its in the food. Its gotta be. I remember being behind this young indian guy on the train and he had a mini turban and beard. It wasn't raining that day, yet he still smelt like musty, wet St Vinnes with Curry. When he sat down, and the smell wafted past, I was honestly gagging. It was such an offensive smell!
I suppose its like perfume. You put perfume on in the morning and then afterwards you can't smell it because you are so used to it. If you are used to a smell then I suppose you can't smell it. If your house smells like it, your clothes smell like it and your hair smells like it then its normal right?
The worst thing you can do is to cover a smell with some type of body spray. Lynx doesnt work guys! Its a body spray, not deoderant! I remember when some of the girls at school used to go for a smoke then cover themselves with Impulse afterwards. As if you can't tell that they have been smoking! I think trying to mask it makes it worse.
Im compulsive when it comes to bad breath. Fair enough if you have had onions, or smelly food, but if you just have bad breath it really turns me off. I drink coffee, smoke on occassion and drink on occassion and we all know a combination of the 3 leaves you with bad breath. I currently have 3 types of mints in my bag and gum. I hate talking to people thinking I have bad breath. I get really paranoid especially when you have that stale feeling in your mouth. Bleh!
One day after work I had to catch a different train to what I normally catch and it was packed! I decided to go upstairs and have a snoop around anyway and was lucky to find an empty seat on a 3 seater. There was a couple sitting there at the time and they moved over for me. I sat at the end near the aisle, then it was the woman and her boyfriend. They both looked like a professional couple, both in suits. After they were talking to each other the woman took a magazine out of her bag to read. I then started to smell something that smelt like canned dog food, or that smell that you get when you walk down the pet food aisle in the supermarket. The smell was there for a bit and then it would go away again. I sniffed around and realised it was the womans breath that smelt
like dog food. She just had to breathe out and that was it... Oh man, I was breathing through my mouth all the way home!
