So, I have a condition where my body produces more sweat than normal, I shower multiple times a day, wear deodorant and fragrance, but can still sometimes smell a ‘bit off’.
I go to a vets practice in a small town, and have done so for years, other vet practices in the town are crap. One day one of the receptionists turned to her colleague and whispered ‘he stinks’. I was the only male there at the time, and another customer who was stood next to me also heard this as when I looked at her she gave me a really awkward smile. I never said anything, paid by bill and left. (I am very ‘hot-headed and am suprised I didn’t say anything, but think it was due to the humilitation)
Today, as I was walking into the practice, one of the original vets who was there at the time of the ‘he stinks’ incident, turned to her colleague and said ‘he stinks’. I didn’t hear this, but I lip read, and it was pretty clear, as the one she said it too looked at me as though ‘oh shit, he realised what you said’ look.
This is really affecting me, as I can’t stop thinking about it and it is REALLY getting me down!!!!!!!!!!! I feel sick each time I think of it!!!
Do I complain and explain everything to the practice manager??? I am worried it may affect my dogs treatment at the vets, but the incident is going to make me ill!!!!!!! 😢
