  • Pet Peeve #1: Smelly People

    I realize I have a lot of pet peeves so I'm going to start posting them.

    On the heels of my last post , I realized that one of my biggest pet peeves is people with da funk! I understand there are circumstances we just can't foresee in which we'll inevitably be smelly. I live in Florida, it's summer time, and it's HOT! When it's hot, people sweat, and sometimes get stinky. Cool, I understand that... but dag, some people just seem so comfortable in their funk.

    I went to the gym today (2nd time this week - whoo!) and took this Cardio Funk fitness class - basically cardio and hip hop all rolled into one. There was a lot of booty-popping that reminded me of the late 90s but I broke a sweat so I was happy.

    There were about 50 girls, mostly white, all trying to keep with the dances. Near the end of the session, a wave of funk kept knocking me in the face. I'm one to keep it real and point out my funkery ; but it wasn't me. I looked around and tried to see if I could narrow the scent... lol! Yes, in the middle of the fitness class, I'm sniffing for funk.

    It was so distracting, though, because I wanted to work-out but the smell was just gross! Some of the girls behind me kept staring at me, wondering why I had my mean, boo-boo face on.

    I could give many more stories about this pet peeve of mine.

    Am I alone in this pet peeve? Do you hate funkery too?
