The Wrong Kind of Evocative


They say a smell can be the most evocative way to bring back a memory - we've all blogged about it.

But this was a much less pleasant experience.

I went into town to get a haircut. I went to a fairly new place which I only started going to recently, but the pleasant woman who cut my hair the last couple of times wasn't there. Still, the place was empty, and a girl took my jacket and asked me how I wanted it cut. (I assumed she meant my hair, not the jacket. )
I said, "just neat and tidy, there's not much more you can do with it these days," but she didn't smile so I hoped I might get away without too much conversation. I did, but it wasn't worth it. As soon as she started cutting I became aware of a not very nice smell wafting about me. At first I couldn't place it. I wondered if she maybe had bad breath. Then suddenly it hit me right between the nostrils.

OMG! I haven't smelt anything like that since Scuffer Morgan accidentally shoved his arse in my face bending down in a cramped changing room after a school rugby match. Funny guy, Scuffer. Walked with his toes turned in, bandy legged, like a cowboy, only without the hat. He could run though. I found myself thinking about him as I tried to work out where the appalling smell was coming from. I wonder what became of him? Did he make a success of his life? Has he been happy as an adult? He always struck me as one of those people who never got his fair share of good luck, but you never know, things might have changed for him. If I bothered more with social media and the old boy network I suppose I could look him up, but I think I'll leave it. Odd that I should remember him at all though really, and I wouldn't have were it not for the fact that here I was, having my haircut by a woman who smelled like his sweaty arse.

At first I thought she was just lax in personal hygiene. It wasn't exactly a shitty smell, more that sort of unwashed sweaty bum smell, hence recalling Scuffer, but then I started to notice that the smell only wafted by when her scissor hand was in front of my face. Oh Lord, it was on her fingers! I tried very hard not to think about how it got there. She finished, showed me the back in a mirror, I paid and came straight home. I'd had a bath when I got up in the morning, but I found I wanted another one.

I can still imagine that there is something faintly whiffy following me about even now. I didn't give her a tip, but perhaps I should have - "wash your arse before you go to work!"

Eeeurrrrghh!

Scuffer? Guy at school, (real name not quite Morgan, ) scuffed his shoes as he walked due to bandy legs and pigeon toes, smelly arse, no real story I'm afraid.

It wasn't her tools I was worried about. Oh my god........ reading the word tool makes me think.......... you don't think maybe she was a........a ladyboy do you? No wait, I mustn't even jokingly suggest that ladyboys might be smelly - there are probably lots of them on this site, really nice perfectly clean people.

    That is disgusting, and don't be surprise by it, there are a lot more people than you think walking around like that, I personally know a few around here, male and female, when I see them out at a bar or club, I walk the other way cause I don't wanna be near them. one time the female gave me a hug when she saw me, and I almost puke, the smell coming from her underarms and her breath, it was awful, now when I see her I keep my distance and give her the cold shoulder so that she wont try or think about giving me a hug. the guy in the other hand, he smells like an old sock, like someone who shower is not a must. and no, they are not a couple, they don't even know each other LOL, but thinking about maybe I should introduce them to each other, maybe it will be a match made in heaven
Made in Hell you mean! I know, I've smelt people before, but....in a personal service kind of up close industry like hair dressing.......it's not good enough!
Thanks for visiting.

It didn't help, I keep thinking I can still smell her. Like when you can still smell a woman's perfume on you after a good date, only without the good part.

Oh I have had that with dentists too. You are right, they should know better! Or maybe they are trying to get their own back on all the hideous patients they have had to treat?

Anyway, as to that hairdresser......................... I am just trying not to think about it!
