My nearest town is a 30 minute bus ride away. Am I being unreasonable for moving away from people who smell bad? I try to be discreet about it but why should I have an unpleasant journey because of someone else’s heavy smoking or other body odours? I think some of this is me. I am super sensitive to bad smell, vibrations and noise. What do other do?

If it’s impossible to get away from have a jar of Vic in your bag and put a little up each nostril.
Never fails.

I seem to attract the misfits on the bus, so always try to sit in the aisle seat so nobody will sit next to me!

We were on the bus the other day and was a really smelly young woman behind us who looked really well dressed but stunk of BO. I wanted to move but my DH needs a priority seat so we stayed put. The worst thing is that a man across from us kept looking pointedly our way before moving to the back of the bus.
