Personal HygieneThere comes a point at which your hygiene becomes less your problem and more everyone else's:
My old school nurse never seemed to wash - instead she wrapped herself in crepe bandages from the first aid kits. The smell was beyond pungent. If you got ill at school, it was better to suffer than try and explain symptoms whilst only breathing out.
When she was eventually 'let go',they had to strip the wallpaper in her office to get rid of the lingering odour.
How scuzzy have you got? Or, failing that, how bad have people you know got?

"We weren't living together, I never brought my toothbrush"After I got my bachelor's degree, and while waiting to get into graduate school, I spent the night at my grilfriend's apartment and didn't leave for eight months.
"Oh, no, we're not living together," I would tell people. My reasoning was that I never had my mail forwarded and I didn't bring a toothbrush.
Which meant that with a pot of coffee and 1.5 packs of cigarettes per day my teeth were a nice burnt orange color. How she could stand to kiss me I'll never know.
I paid for it later though. I'd only had a couple cavities until I was 25, but by the time I was 30 I had one in literally every tooth in my head.
