dont laugh it could happen to you!

I have to sit in a tow truck for 12 hours a day. the day driver of the truck has serious hygene issues and the seat in the truck smells like a$$ so bad it could gag a friggen maggot. whats worse after sitting in it the smell sticks to your pants and invades the seat in your personal vehicle and anywhere else you sit.

i remember this happening to a truck driver i know and i thought it was kind of funny till it happened to me. i would get out on a call and could smell this other guys a$$ smell stuck to me when the wind blew the right way. i was absolutly mortified that customers could prob smell it too. my boss was too gutless to do anything about it, and i tried spraying the seat with fabreeze, industrial citrus deoderizer, even odour eaters foot powder, nothing worked!

I was chatting with a bunch of cab drivers i know, and brought up my little problem. most of them laughed at me but one guy who owns his cab said to spray it with lysol. i sort of smiled and nodded and thought it prob wouldnt work.

WOW LYSOL FIXED THIS SMELL WHICH ALMOST DROVE ME INSANE, THAT CABBIE IS MY HERO!!!

I sprayed it ONCE and it was almost gone. I soaked the crap out of the seat before i went home as the human pig was off that day, next day smell was completely gone!!

I hope this post helps somebody!!

 

This is probably a more common problem then one may think....

 

next up, spray the guys *** !

 

I have the same problem with the street sweepers at the city.

 

L Y S O L to the rescue

 

If he would just shower/wipe/do laundry properly this wouldnt be an issue. I guess he has had this problem for years according to a few of the guys that worked with him at another company. Somehow he has managed to get a woman which is completely perplexing to me! I pick him up at his home in the morning and as soon as he sets foot in the truck i can smell him. i dont know how he cant smell himself/know that it is wrong. hes a big guy and i know when you work you sweat, but it is winter for christ sake!

 

I'm sure if you pick him up wearing a {GAS MASK} he would get the idea, just saying

 

Another reason why to have leather, or vinyl, seats.

 

Hard to believe fabreeze failed, cause when my cat takes a dump & stink up the house, I use fabreeze to clear the air

 

i know fabreeze works good but it wouldnt even touch it. it was extra strength too. the odour eaters powder actually made the biggest difference prior to my lysol epiffany
