Had a colleague who wasn't keen on personal hygene... He kept his used gym clothes in a closed gym bag for 2 or 3 weeks. In our workplace, mind you! And then wear the same dirty 3 week old outfit again in the gym... Also did not shower much...
So I gave him a set of shower gel and deodorant and more, anonymously for Sinterklaas (Dutch version of Santa Claus). The plan back fired: he got upset!
Not for being told he was stinky, that message did not come across. He got upset, because I did not get a present from Sinterklaas, and therefore he wanted me to have the whole set. Now my manager - who was in on the plan - had to rush out and buy me a scented giftset too.
