So, my coteacher's feet just smell awful. It's like having a bottle of vinegar held under my nose every few minutes.

Is this worth bringing up? It's really distracting.

Please confront your co-teacher and video tape the whole thing.

Thank you.

You: "What's that smell?"
KT: "What smell?"
You: "Smells like.. a sweaty foot! Do you know where this is coming from?"
KT: "..."

That's the first thing I've laughed out loud about all day, thank you. Is there any way you could put a bottle of foot deodorizer or powder on her desk anonymously?

Hahahaha! Oh that's gross. Maybe you could say like 'ew I smell something awful, I think my feet smell' even though yours dont. Maybe she will know its her feet and wear different shoes next time.

Buy a bottle of vinegar. Smell it repeatedly before class (10-15 minutes).

This will create massive olfactory fatigue and thus you will not be able to smell your co-teacher's feet.

No, no don't thank me, I am happy to help.

Blech!

I suggest you secretly leave a can of that shoe spray with a note (written by a Korean female) that says, "Please USE!"

The teacher will never know you did it.

in england, when we go to the municiple swimming pool, we have to step into a foot sanitiser/pool first before entering the main pool area. you literally can not get into the main pool area without stepping in it (it doesn't stop kids from doing pee pee though).

u see where im going with this...?

tell the principle its to fight swine flu and theyll pay for it.

Most Koreans on open and friendly terms would probably say
아 냄새 나요~~!! 발 냄새나요 and do a waving gesture in front of their nose. Problem solved in a matter of minutes.
