I had crawled underneath the front desk to fix some computer wiring issues

I smelled something awful and called out what stinks as I slowly stood up and then saw that a new client had just walked in who absolutely reeked of body odor and cigarette smoke. I quickly smiled and asked how I could help out. I honestly can't believe she didn't just turn around and walk out of the office. I don't believe she ever came back.
