Forum Post: Why does it smell so bad at Zuccotti Park?

I was there today and the stench was unbearable. Smells like terrible B.O.

I don't think this is setting a good example and it can really drive away additional supporters.

We need to address this issue ASAP

Dude, its new york. The entire town smells like bum dung and hardcore piss.

If that's all you have to complain about then I'd say OWS is doing pretty fucking well. You never smelled another human being before? Or maybe you think we just naturally smell like body spray? Get a fucking grip.

It's just disgusting, at least take care of yourself, no one wants to smell your shit

I have noticed, there are 4 sewers/manholes surrounding the plaza and at night there is steam being released along with a putrid scent which wafts into the plaza and lingers the following day. One could call 311...

Unless you guys start letting skunks rot on the street I'm sure you can't smell as bad as the CEOs of wall st

Maybe arrange payment with some hotels in the area to let people use the shower before the room is turned over for a small fee. Never hurts to ask. What about providing hand sanitation stations or wipes to prevent disease?

Why don't they organize a scubdown to wash the side walks of the park? It's not impossible, I'm sure people would help.

That happened last Friday.

I was there Sat and didn't think it smelled that bad. I guess it should be a weekly thing- especially with all the rain we just had.

the guy posting is a troll

[-] 1 points by LastWaltz (115) from Medford, NY 13 years ago

No, I'm not. Some person just called me a troll in a topic that I posted because he didn't like what I had to say... unless you mean posting the topic. I don't know, it seems hard to get info. I just want to help more.

Bring some incense next time

I'm sure Valley Forge didn't smell so good, either.

Nobody is burning incense? I can't believe that

[-] 1 points by westcoastburger (1) 13 years ago

No, it doesn't do much for our credibility or neighborly relations to stink. . .

[-] 1 points by ronimacarroni (1089) 13 years ago

You guys can afford some body wash. <_<

[-] 1 points by MonetizingDiscontent (1257) 13 years ago

Mold on the tarps?

[-] 1 points by phantom3 (110) 13 years ago

[-] 1 points by phantom3 (110) 13 years ago

[-] -1 points by NotOccupying (94) 13 years ago

Maybe because you all deficate on the ground and don't take showers?

[-] 0 points by ArrestAllCEOS (115) 13 years ago

Could be this. The smell is so bad I can't describe it

Just throw some Patchouli oil on to disguise the BO. It makes for a special blended scent we have all come to recognize so well.
