Old people - why do they smell?

you know that old people aroma -
old women are usually a mix of lavender and cat wee
old men of tobacco and wee.
you get the odd ones that dont smell of wee - just lavender and old spice.

sometimes the odd few smell like cookies and pie - freshly baked. mmmmmm!

will I smell when I'm old and decrepid?
answers on a postcard!

go sniff an old dude or dudette and see for yourself!!!

you have some serious issues....


as for old people smelling, its probably due to their sense of smell not being as good as it used to be. I've found that the old people that come into work dont smell like you say, but of very strong perfume. In smaller quantities the perfume would be nice.

yes thats right, i do have issues and i like to share them!

the right smell can be comforting, but if you sit on grandaddy's lap and accidentally burst his colostomy bag then its not so nice...
My mum's getting on a bit now - she always smells like violets

*shouts to marie* GO SMELL MAMMY FOR ME!


I was unfortunate once to sit next to an old dude on the bus who smelled like tuna fish - i got off a few stops before my actual stop and walked that extra mile home!

she smells like fags and vanderbuilt. the 1 with the swan on the front

No idea where the flowery smell comes from, but i'm guessing their bladders ain't what they used to be, so accidents happen and lingers..hence the smell of wee...

vanderbilt lol i love that scent!
its so - mumerific!

I wanna be one of those nasty ol farts who knock kids off bikes with my walkingstick. (that i wont need for walking) Squirt them with my colostomy bag too. *evil laugh*

but you do that anyway....

The oldie downstairs always stink or stale booze, fags and dulpinz! Awww pitty!

i noticed you didnt deny it

I do it every opportunity I get. little sods. Burning the yellow pages in MY hallway when my baby boy is playing upstairs. Next time it's a bucket of ice cold in their faces hunny, I tell you!!!

dont call me hunny, its kinda weird.

why not throw strawberry milkchake at them? and crack the glass on their heads as you do?
(like you did to me!)

do you not have a key to the communal door? lock it!

i dont think you have issues, a always hated going to see my greatgrandmother because of the old person smell, i think its disgusting, it makes me heve

i think this is rather disrespectful. yes old people stink, but so do babies. babies always smell of poo and vomit. i'd much rather sniff an oldie than a baby any day. plus, old people tend to give away werthers originals, whereas babies just want want want!!

i really do wory about you tinkle

GET OUT THE HOUSE MORE AND STOP SNIFFING OLD PEOPLE!!!



*runs*

Noddy's an old person.

He just pretends he's young.

His smell gives him away though

*flees*

you'd better run

I'm suprised he hasn't gone on one of his old fogeyish rants about politness or sumink

*sniffs Noddy*

Eugh!

( )

*flees again*

kids today! thy are so rude! i remember the time.....

*slips into a sleep*

zzzzzzz....

yeah but even baby bath and baby powder smells gross. ooh, congrats on your new baby dunc!! hehe

My theory is it stems from a lack of initiative and increased surface area due to wrinkles.

When you spend tweleve hours a night working with service users of advancing age in an EMI facility, you kind of get used to.....

Ive thought about this question time and time again.

I came upon the conclusion that the smell old people posses is an 'out-dated' smell to people of our age. Do old people know that other old people smell? Not that I have seen.

Old people rarely change their routine and rarely change products they have been using for years and years. A certain routine of when one washes etc and the products we use, create smells. Im suggesting that 'back in the day' everyone smelled like old people, because they used that certain type of soap, and had a certain routine. The previous old people to them smelled of old people because they too had a different routine and life.

As the generations of people grew, they grew to change their routine and change the products they use to clean themselves and their home. Thus the generation smell changed. I find old people who have strayed away from the traditional soaps etc have changed their routine also, like my own grand mother, who does not smell of old people.

Because of my findings, I also suggest that we will one day smell of old people. But the scent will not be the smell of old people we know today, it will be our very own 'old-people' smell. Fortunatley we will not be smelling of piss, but the younger generations will still find our smell just as bad, as their routine and lives will be different to our own.

Bump

*sniff*

hmmmm, old odddur.....

*sniff*

This smell reminds me of werther's originals. They complement the smell of piss very well.

hmmmm this thread is starting to get me hot..... oh yeh
