Too old to give a crap? (Body odor)
One thing I’ve noticed about old people is
that they generally have this attitude of not giving a shit about
anything. Given their age, they are able
to skirt social norms (like driving slow in the fast line) because they’ve
stopped giving a crap.
I’m sitting at the café in the library
at school right across from an old guy with some intense body odor. He has this mossy/mildew smell emitting from
his body, and it is truly disturbing my vibe.
He is certainly ripe, perhaps
rotten. However, it is certainly an earthy smell that
I can’t really stand.
I’ve noticed that a lot of old men tend
to stop minding their personal hygiene, and they all have a similar
smell. I’m guessing there comes a time
when you give up the fight and start smelling like the decomposing trees in the
forest with a hint of dry dirt and mushrooms.
So, there is probably a time when they
say, “f’ it. I’m going to go for that
musky dirt smell because I’m not getting any dates.”

haha, i can stand anything but a smelly person. reminds me of when i worked in a bank. some of those people that used to come in... *sigh*

I have to admit that I understand why they do it. As you said, since they know that they're not going to get any dates they don't give a shit. Proves Freud's theory.
P.S. Do you really need word verification?
I think growing old is no excuse to smell bad unless something medical is causing it.
My grow-old excuse will be to become the most lecherous old lady ever, constantly pinching young men on their behinds and acting like I'm senile so it's okay.
Ammaro: I've been away from working with the public for years, so I probably forgotten about the smell from some Customers.

Sarah: I hope I am the same way. However, I can see myself morphing into that smelly old guy too. I hope I’m the other
