Rob and Karen in the U.K. both passed along this note, recently covered in the Manchester Evening News, that was found posted on seats at the Stockport County FC’s home stadium. (Is this what hooliganism looks like in the lower divisions nowadays?)

If you throw some beer on them, then they will be forced to take a shower. Use your head, people!

Maybe bring some spray deodorant… a good dousing should get the point across.

I’d rather smell plain old BO than someone who has slathered themselves in Axe. Especially if they put on copious amounts of Axe to cover up the BO in the first place.

I just read the story. I am surprised to learn this is outdoors. They must be really horrid. Is smoking allowed? That is also a good way to mask stank. The last time I smoked it was on my breaks from a horrid cleaning job at a relative’s house of putrid dog stank.

It is probably their clothes, my grandson used to smell like a Billygoat and it turned out he never washed his clothes…. because when he moved away from mommy it turns out he had never run the clothes washer in his life and literally did not know how. Holy crap!

Team note-writer 100%. There aren’t any truly nice ways to tell someone they stink, but this is one of the least mean, and part of public courtesy is not stinking for everyone else to smell.

How is this passive aggressive? Seems pretty honest and straightforward…

Am I the only one thinking that they’re probably from another team, sent in to discourage the home supporters?

This also reminds me that when we were in junior high we were commanded to take a shower after gym. But almost nobody would. We’d just keep our clothes on and stick our arms in the shower. Really, it’s not like we got sweaty square dancing or whatever the heck it was we did in gym.

Then again, some people do get a kick out of reeking. If the recipient is one of those types, the note gave him a thrill.

I started teaching my son basic cooking & household skills when he
was 12 years old. He learned out to do laundry, cook basic stuff like hamburgers, eggs, grilled cheese sandwiches, etc. As he got older I taught him to cook/bake using recipes so he’d know how to measure out ingredients properly. They offered a home ec course when he started middle school & I encouraged him to take it. Turns out he’s better at sewing than I am.

Jesus Christ, they must really, really stink if it’s ruining going to watch County!
And Stockport isn’t a part of Manchester.

I’ve stood/sat next to some pretty rank-smelling guys on public transport, but none of them have ever come close, to smelling as offensive as the multitudes in this city who choose to douse themselves with Joop. The popularity of that scent (stink) astounds me.
