Upper West Side Manhattanite (AKA LIBERAL) booted from public library for body odor sues for $5.5M
Old guy doesn’t know he stinks.
It’s the pits!
An Upper West Sider with heinous body odor claims the New York Public Library has unfairly washed its hands of him — booting him from one of the branches because of his olfactory offensiveness.
The situation smells of discrimination, claims 80-year-old George Stillman, who has filed a $5.5 million lawsuit against the library in Manhattan Supreme Court.
The loyal library user says he has gone to the St. Agnes branch on Amsterdam Avenue for 20 years without incident and was humiliated more than three years ago by a manager’s request that he leave.
He insists the problem stemmed from the library’s restrooms, not him.
Stillman claims in court papers that he “found the branch manager to be giving off an odor but never objected, understanding that such a challenge to the senses was just a fact of life in the city.”
In fact, Stillman thinks the library was just being snooty, since New York City was recently declared the “smelliest city in the country,” according to his court papers, which note that “individuals with different diets from different culture often emit an odor that is alien to others outside the group.”

My, how times have changed. I remember an incident related to me by my wife who worked at the Tacoma Public Library in the mid-1960′s in which a quite malodorous street person was sprayed with Lysol by a librarian.

Branch manager should not only accuse the smelly libtard of smelling like shit….but also causing the restroom to stink….and being a RAAAACIST.
…then watch his head explode.

Yeah, librarians are weird like that.
Can you imagine just how bad someone would have to smell before you went up to a total stranger, at your workplace, and told them they smelled too bad to even be allowed to remain there?
This guy must have been seriously aromatic!

Speaking of smelly things and garbage;
A family was driving behind a garbage truck when a large dildo flies out and hits the windshield.
To hide her embarrassment the mother turns and says to her young kids, “My, what a big insect!”
To which her 7 year old says, ” I’m surprised it could fly with a dick that big”

“individuals with different diets from different culture often emit an odor that is alien to others outside the group.”

Lazy ass just wants free money…He’s hoping the library will settle at around 1M so he’s set for life.
He just needs to have his ass beaten and left for dead in the gutter.
Sorry, but I hate people like this.

The court should award his nasty ass a bar of soap.

Who do you root for, the liberal or the library? IMO, libraries = NEA.
