“The reason I don’t bathe is because if water can kill fire, who am I?” — A man shares an experience with his neighbor
A light but surprising incident was published on the Internet involving the tenant and his neighbors after the joint meeting, there was reportedly an unexpected turn due to personal hygiene concerns.
According to the man who recounted the experience, tension was rising in the complex because of one tenant’s habit of rarely bathing.
He said that the situation became noticeable during the meetings, where neighbors often struggled with discomfort and tried to create space or improve ventilation.
The matter reportedly escalated to such an extent that one resident started bringing perfume to meetings in an attempt to solve the unpleasant smell in the area.
Frustrated with the recurring problem, the tenants eventually filed a formal complaint during a meeting with the landlord present.
During that session, the landlord confronted the man directly, asking why he didn’t bathe regularly.
What followed, according to the story, left those present stunned.
The man reportedly stood up calmly, straightened his clothes, and responded in a philosophical tone, saying, “The reason I don’t bathe is because if water can kill fire… who am I?”
The unusual response reportedly left the landlord and other tenants speechless for a moment, with no immediate response as the meeting came to an awkward but silent pause.
