I feel like that saying was more for situations like "you're at a dinner and the peas are cold but everything else was great, so don't bitch about the peas."
Now if someone I'm working with smells like ass, I'm going to pull them aside and ask if everything at home is okay first, then followup with letting them know they need to fix some odor issues, ya dig?
I'd have to punch you in the face if you did that to me.
Bad odour at work is a sign that the person is uncomfortable, and the fault is usually not that persons.
Lolno, you've clearly never been around somebody who has bad hygiene habits. ---
