Being kicked out over odor, ok or not?
I can't imagine how anyone would have sensory issues with cleaning themselves but not have sensory issues with dirt. If I don't shower for 8 hours, I start to itch like crazy, irritatingly nasty hair, and develop rashes. I usually shower 2-3 times a day. You can always use a towel with rubbing alcohol or something if a shower doesn't work for you.
So I say ... no excuses for bad smells!
People get used to their own stink. That's why people who have dogs don't know their whole house reeks of dog.

I don't like the way clean people smell let alone dirty people.
I have no problem with stinky people getting the boot.

I see no problem with booting real smelly people out especially if it is a health hazard. We had this guy come in the store he weighed like 500 lbs and reeked so bad you could literally smell him 30 feet away and the smell lingered while he was gone he smelt like rotten dried up diahrea and he deficated in his pants and it trickled all over the floors which i had to clean up I nearly threw up from the stench.

I dont use deodorant too, but dont see the problem about it, I am showering every day, so the only thing I can smell like is normal, fresh sweat. So sweat can stink pretty well when its get older because of it transforming into various acids, but it dont get that old on my body and I really dont care for that social hype that you are no longer allowed to be a normal sweating human.

my reaction to odors is the most debilitating of my sensory issues. i do not mind the smell of smoke however. burned tobacco and burned toast and the smell of the aftermath of a bushfire, or the smell of the backyard incinerator (now banned) etc are all not capable of triggering my "repulsion" reaction. my repulsion reaction compels me to urgently escape (almost in a panic state) from the area where the repulsive smell is resident.
the smell of cow manure or horse manure or pigs i am reasonably desensitized to due to our family having a farm when i was a child (we did not eat the animals but they were decorations that lived their entire lives on our "farm" and died of old age or else from being bitten by snakes in very rare circumstances).
this is a list of smells from most serious to least serious (but still serious enough to make me flee the area)
_________________________
1. the smell i had the most serious reaction to was the smell of a dead person in one of my fathers flats (condo's?) when i was 12. he had not payed his rent in 6 weeks and he did not answer the phone, so one day my father went to the tenants flat (flat 17) with his key and i accompanied him.
i noticed hundreds of flies on the inside of the windows of the tenants flat as we approached it, and my father did not, and i smelled a putrid smell which i thought was due to a refrigerator having been switched off inside the unit, and so i went back down the stairs because it made me gag.
my father opened the door and shouted "holy bloody hell" and after a few seconds, the cascade of stench fell to the parking lot where i was, and it seized my throat to the degree that i could not breathe and i ran up the street. i almost choked to death because i dared not take another breath even after i was hundreds of meters away after running there.
incidentally, my next door neighbor (currently) has not taken her garbage bin back into her yard since last monday morning. it is very strange. she is a fat lady in her 60's, and she is quite active. she mows her lawns, and i always see her in her yard pottering about. garbage night is on sunday night, and i often take until tuesday before i can be bothered to bring my bin back in (from the side of the road), and sometimes if i am rung up early on monday morning (say 7 am), i open the blinds and i have noticed that she has already retrieved her bin, and i think "jeez i am lazy".
this week, her bin has remained on the curb and it is very much out of character for her, so i walked in front of her house today to see whether there were flies on the inside of her windows, but there are none. maybe she is visiting relatives, but i would think that she would arrange for her bin to be retrieved by her other neighbor who she talks to (i have never interacted with her). what i desperately do not want to happen is for someone to finally open her door with force and let the stench of a human carcass billow along the street and infect my olfactory bulb with that utmost horrible sensation again.

2. i did not like walking around our property as a child and getting a whiff of a dead cow that i was not aware was there (the property was 400 acres). i did not know what direction to walk in to escape the smell because the smell occupies several acres. a dead cow does not smell as horrific as a dead human, but it is still vastly beyond my threshold of sensory horror.
__________________________
3. farts are intolerable for me, and i feel like other people have trespassed into my nostrils with the microscopic particulate cloud that they blast out of their ass that coats the mucous membranes inside my head, and if i did not curtail my inhalation they would also make it into my lungs and be absorbed into my bloodstream. the blood coursing through my brain may contain excremental particles from the intestines of others if i do not flee from the situation.
i can not fathom how people find farts funny and remain in the location where the fart was expressed. people used to find my extreme aversion to farts humerus, and when i was a young adult, they would "save their farts up", and expel huge farts in the vicinity of my head, and i almost broke my bones in my "jack in the box" like expulsion from the vicinity (which resembled an electrical stimulated seizure that threw me across the room and out the door). they laughed for ages but i soon became disillusioned and so i never went back after i realized they were so foul and eager to press my ejector button.

4 body odor. i have encountered people who smell like salami due to their dried sweat being colonized by bacteria in addition to a distinct salty ammonia like smell that is a result of their rancid musky pheromones.
i gag also at that smell. some people smell as bad as bacon (i like bacon if it is actual bacon, but a body odor that resembles bacon is hideous).
i have caught taxis before that were driven by indian drivers (i am not being racist, but indians seem very often to have foul body odour), and when i hop in, they say "where do you want to go" and then their miasmic cloud of foul body stench invades my nostrils and i say "just over there" (and i point to a place a few hundred feet away (a place that i know i can hold my breath for long enough to get to)).
i can not breathe around people who's body's have a rancid odour.
i had a potential girlfriend once who was indian who liked me very much and she was pretty and she liked to play my video games while i was at work and she rang me up often while i was at work to tell me she was stuck, and i liked very much to ask her where she was in the game, and i liked to provide her with clues as to what she should do next to proceed through the game. but when i got home...peee ewww. i could not take a breath in my house and i had to open all windows and doors and i had to tell her to leave my house. it was sad. i did like her but she had a stench i could not overcome.

5 foot odour that smells like rotten cabbage.
i had a very good male friend who was very smart and we traded ideas, and rarely he came to my house, but when he did i was adamant that he was not allowed to remove his shoes because previously, he removed his shoes on one occasion and it stank of rotting cabbage, his feet looked damp and i was determined that he should put his shoes back on before i would interact with him further. the thought of the greasy slime on his feet being wiped on my carpet was far more important to me than whatever he had to say.
sorry i do not think i answered this thread very well.
^^^^^^I understand smell issues.
I once left a house because the home owner started spraying a can of Glade air freshener.( what a stupid name,it didn't freshen anything,made me queasy.)
Auto exhaust,especially smelly diesels,I almost gag and feel depressed.
Some people have strange body odors, I just don't get close to them.
Burning plastics,stupid people burn their garbage in barrels,just a whiff driving by,oh god.The stench.
Plastic stuff in Mal Wart ,each isle smells weird or bad.
Cheap perfume,cheap incense,bah.
Lawn and garden chemicals,start spraying bug spray,I leave.
But some smells I like almost to euphoria,flowers,rain and the moist air in Spring and the leaf smell in the Fall.
and I like good incense and some cologne(if used properly).
And some smells are just nice,baking bread,spices like cinnamon,apples,rich dirt.
And some things have certain smells,bird feathers smell dusty sweet,money paper and coins smell bad,coins metallic and oily.
Wood smoke smells nice in the winter and snow smells sharp and clean.
When I worked at a restaurant the cook used to always get me to smell stuff to see if it was still good.
