Freedom to be disgusted?

Let's face it: there's always a sick and disgusting side of us. No, I am not talking about you freaking mind thinking about those filthy evil sick fantasy. That's gross too. But I am talking about something related to physical hygiene and appearance. That's right, the superficial but oh so important things affecting daily human contact.

What prompt me to think about it was that a colleague that I have at work has some serious body odor problem. The smell was so strong that I have to rearrange my desk to face the other side of my cubical in order to avoid breathing in the smell. The problem is, though, that I don't know him enough to let me know the issue. It would sure be awful if someone who doesn't know you much come up to you and tell you how smelly you are. I am sure that will lead up to a great work relationship and a fantastic keen friendship built upon trust and honesty, or not.

That then I started to think, for single guys with no dating partner, this will be even more an issue. For those who have a close partner, they will constant got judgment and nagging from his or her partner if they do something inappropriate from general perspective, like:
  • stop picking or rubbing your nose
  • stop leaving all your hairs around the bath tube after your shower
  • stop farting whenever you feel like it (go to the restroom for cry out loud)
  • stop leaving your loosen hairs all around places (and don't get me started with those sick pubic hair around your desk you sick bastard)
  • stop rubbing your hair and then smell it
  • stop rubbing your nose and then smell it
  • stop rubbing ANYWHERE around your body and then smell it
  • stop talking close me with those disgusting smell from your mouth (take some mint or better yet have some fruits and vegetable damn it)
  • start taking damn shower, like, DAILY
  • stop peeping me with your lazy eyes
And the list goes on and on.

Single lonesome people may have the freedom or doing whatever they want, whenever they want, in however way they want since no one is yapping, controlling, bossing every aspect of their daily life. But they also loss a hygiene police to keep their image intact in public. And because in this political correctness day, no one will attempt the correct the others as they can be considered as judgmental and political incorrect, bad habit will not be pointed out and the person with those habit will most likely got a lot of bad mouthing at the back but never got the necessary correction.

Time after time, though, these lonesome people will wonder why they couldn't get a date, or why their relationship always got into some sort of shipwreck. Maybe the reason is as simple as stop picking their noses.

So I have a business idea: start a image reconstruction company for single people. Have a image consultant following the candidate the whole day for 2 to 3 days, completely, even when going to private places. Or simply have the consultant following you at the back, but a private investigator following the target. Then at the end of the investigation, present all the observation to the client, and let him or her decide whether they want to correct their problems (or even consider those as problems).

See, problem found, problem solved.
