Every time I see this pop up, I'm reminded of this chair I saw once at my old place of employment.

Friendly reminder, wiping your arse with dry paper is not sufficient to clean it following a dump run.

A bidet (european style) is best.

no itchy/smelly bumhole ever again

Guys like this get girlfriends and yet I’m still single.

eating shitty food and farting all the time and not wiping your ass properly are probably the culprits so yea better hygiene

Still baffles me how many people are convinced that you can 'wipe properly/thoroughly/enough'. It's exactly for that reason that I avoid sitting down in public transportation. Anyone who either possesses the instinct of not wanting to smell like shit and/or has had the 'privilege' of cleaning someone else's butt (say, a small child or an adult in need of special care) knows that the words 'wiping' and 'hygiene' can only be used in the same phrase if there's also the words 'wet' and/or 'wash' and/or 'soap' in it. Otherwise...of course your f****g chair stinks.

Dude was wiping down his chair more often than his ass.

That thread was a total mixed bag of people trying to be genuinely helpful and ripping on the guy. It was something to behold.

how the fuck a chair smells like poop?! Is he siting there without pants? Did he poop his pants in thr chair?!

You know it smells bad when body-pillow comes alive to complain.

Okay semi unrelated question, but do mens gym showers usually smell like poop?

Because I recently got a fancy gym membership through my employer that allows me to go to basically any gym in the area, and so far the shower in the mixed gender sauna areas has always smelled like poop, while the showers in the woman's sauna and changing room haven't.
Might just be a weird coincidence, but it's been like 5 different gyms of different chains and I've been really bothered by it

I'l been sitting in the same (mesh) chair for >15yrs (Aeron) and have no such problem. That the OP's response to the GF's complaint is anger says more about them than they intend.

I could understand if it smelled like swamp-ass (sweat) from sitting there too long, especially in a chair made of faux leather, but it shouldn't smell like poop.

OP should ditch their imaginary girlfriend for another one less annoying.

TBH I don't know what that smell is but if it's related to sweat and ass fluid then cleaning should be fairly simple:

1. Start with a 70% rubbing alcohol, set the chair on its side and soak then compress / scrub, this step should ensure no bacteria remains and that it dries very quickly for the next steps. You don't have to rinse alcohol, it evaporates quickly.

2. Next we're going to try to counteract gastric and/or uric acids, which is to say hydrochloric acid, by scrubbing with washing soda. If you don't have access to washing soda then you can either use baking soda directly or turn the baking soda into washing soda by dehydrating it in the oven. Scrub with and rinse out the soda with water.

3. Final step, to counter any other contaminants, rinse with some amount of acidic cleaner such as vinegar. This will also help remove any soda from the previous step. Rinse out all of the vinegar with water, it does not evaporate.

4. Dry in a very warm place with lots of airflow.

5. Wash your ass with soap.

guys, need some help here. my gaming room smells like shit. like literally shit. the carpet used to be grey, but it's brown now because of the smell. I've been wiping my ass on the carpet because I saw my dog do it once and it feels good. my mom has been complaining about the smell for a week now and is threatening to come clean my room. I can't let her see the room because I've smeared my turds on the walls artistically for my viewers on twitch. any help to get the poop smell out, please! if I can't get the smell out dad said he's going to force me to get a job!

I also judge this guy.
