A amusing yet unexpected story has surfaced online about a resident and his fellow occupants following a communal gathering that took an odd turn due to hygiene worries.
As described by the man who shared the story, strain had been growing in the building because one occupant seldom took a bath.
He noted that the issue became evident during gatherings, as fellow residents frequently felt uneasy and attempted to distance themselves or increase airflow.
The situation reportedly worsened to the extent that a female resident started carrying perfume to the meetings, hoping to mask the offensive odor.
Irritated by the ongoing problem, the occupants lodged a formal complaint during a meeting attended by the landlord.
During that gathering, the landlord approached the individual directly, questioning why he neglected regular bathing.
What happened next, according to the account, left everyone in attendance shocked.
The man reportedly rose calmly, straightened his attire, and replied in a reflective manner: “The reason I avoid bathing is that if water can extinguish fire, then who am I?”
This peculiar reply reportedly rendered the landlord and other occupants silent for a moment, with no immediate answer as the meeting concluded in an uncomfortable hush.
