to have said this to my colleague?

My colleague is always making horrible jokes infront of other colleagues (all women) that I smell. Maybe I do, but I shower every single day and wear fresh clothes daily. I'm thinking it could be a medical problem.

The jokes are really nasty and I can see the bully and one of the colleagues she's closest to smirking when she says the nasty things. She never says outright that I smell (which I would love so I can explain how hygienic I actualy am) but it's always subtle digs.

Today she said "oooh FedUpInTheOffice, wouldn't you just hate it if you had BO...how embarassing and mortified would you be?", so I replied with "well i'd be much more mortified if I ate like a pig (she does!) and I had an attitude that made me seem like a nasty cow".

Did I do myself wrong?

fedupintheoffice - if you get the stick anti-persperant rather than the roll on that is the absolute strongest, I used to use it when I was in 40 degree plus heat every day and you just don't sweat at all.

Hang on, are you actually saying you are not using an antiperspirant deodorant?

They have been sniggering a while, you suspect they think you smell, and you still have not bothered trying a deodorant?

I thought it was part of every womans personal hygiene routine. People perspire. Perspiration stink.

i think she was saying she usually uses spray but may try roll on instead QS
