O fucking KAY!!!
Date: 2009-07-25 12:50 am (UTC)I have dealt with. SMELT with and (unfortunately BEEN) the person (s) that are being bandied so much about.
*sigh*
I simply *HAVE* to say this.
Why in the world do geeks bash geeks so damn much??
The people who forget basic hygene? 1 in a hundred when you are on the floor. Gaming floor?? 1 in twenty - thirty... And it's NOT that all of them forget to bathe.. it's a LONG DAMN DAY and you spend SIX FRIGGEN HOURS in a small room, drinking caffiene and the air conditioning fails? YOU SWEAT!!!
There will ALWAYS be people with no social skills and/or poor hygene. Especialy at events that attract Social misfits. We, as a group, do not do that. The people who do, are E-X-C-E-P-T-I-O-N-S...
I know one person can horrify HUNDREDS...
But GODDAMN PEOPLE... We get enough flak from the NORMS!!!
Please recognise the fact that the people who don't bathe are NOT THE NORM!!

Date: 2009-07-25 08:35 pm (UTC)There is leniency for a busy day. I'm not the hygene police. . but-
I don't think it's too much to ask for people to take a shower in a 12 hour period. See, personal space can be a commodity at con. Not sure that it's fair to ask that people, especially celebrities need to have 15 hours of con crud milimetres from their person.
The 3.2.1 rule, I believe the 1 is 1 shower- per 24 hour period is more of a joke than anything else. I would go so far as to say that if you cannot take at least one preferably 2 showers in any 24 hour period you do not belong at con.
It's all one big family as far as I am concerned. I'm still apprehensive about my wife getting around on her motorized scooter. We compramised on a horn and so hopefull less toes to roll over.
Ah, you are the one who was speaking about putting the lotion into the basket : D I wonder if I am now trully un nerved or not, judging by this rant.
