This isn’t just an Anon problem anymore. My partner is a supervisor and he keeps having to have conversations with the 25 and younger crowd about showering, wearing clean clothes, and either wearing deodorant or coming up with other solutions for working in an environment with other people present. Men and women, 18-25.
I supervise soil remediation, which occasionally involves working in a liquid-proof coverall, with a hood, thick rubber gloves and a full face mask. I’ve had to literally pour a stream of sweat out of my boots. And I’m just standing there watching and writing, not actually doing physical labour.
And I still have to remind people to shower when changing. Even if you don’t care about killing yourself, I mean, come on.
It’s a trend I’m seeing too. I blame it on the cost of living - people renting with bad bathroom situations or people not able to consistently pay the cost of hot water
I have no idea. I was a bit of the unwashed teenager when I was, like, 14, but I pretty quickly pivoted around to showering in the morning. And using deo if I had to work in a crowded office. I think a lot of that was peer group: if you see all people around you take a bit of care, you start doing it too.
People are giving up. Young people more than anyone know they are living on a dying world. Today’s college students know that they will likely never own a home. Those of older generations who are aren’t in complete denial of climate change are just counting on dying of old age before things get really bad. And many older folks already own homes and are insulated from the worst effects of inequality.
Millions of young people are just giving up. They accept the dystopia they live in and recognize the police state that’s been set up to quash any form of dissent or revolt. They have few motivations in life. They just want to earn barely enough to afford a modest apartment and some computer games, and beyond that they have little motivation in life. For many it’s all just starting to feel pointless.
That only happend to me once, when i worked at a bar. I wasn’t really “working” there, i was supervising, because it was my friends bar and he just needed someone there he trusts. Naturally most people working there were 20 to 28 or something. One evening a guy came up to me and said:“dude, you have to talk to Cathy.”
I asked why, she was really good at her job. He said that she smells so bad that it’s really hard to work around her and even the customers seems to notice it from across the bar.
Now i was never really close to these people, i never noticed anything, so i kinda assumed they don’t like her or something. She was the the first one to arrive on the next shift, so i wanted to ask her if she had any problems with her coworkers. But before i could even ask, i could smell exactly what they mean. Like an old locker of a 15 year old. Just sweat and moldy clothes. That talk was so damn awkward that i quit my “job” there. I do not want to tell people to shower.

Really? Why is that a thing

I’m too old to be able to answer that correctly.
Oh no.
