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?

Hmmone of my current housemates is very much a cleanliness freak; he takes at least 2-3 showers and one bath a day, so by his standards the rest of us are the stinky buggers.
How obsessive is he? Well, there are three shelves in the bathroom; my stuff takes up one corner of the top shelf, and the rest is taken up by nearly £100 worth of his grooming products.
Now this would be all well and good if he worked in (say) a slaughterhouse, but he's a quote-monkey for an insurance company; not exactly a dirty job, and hardly justification for the 2 hours he spends in the bathroom every day, stopping everyone else from using it. What makes this more than a mere annoyance is that we pay for our gas etc. with tokens and not by monthly bills, so if we unexpectedly run out of gas it's usually his fault. More seriously, there is a leak under the bathroom floor which becomes very noticeable when he's having one of his cleanliness orgies.
He's completely unreasonable about this and some of his more antisocial habits too; according to him, we're all the ones in the wrong and being in the same house as us is "like living with a cow or a pig".
And before you ask: yes, he is a confirmed
Good thing I'm moving out soon.
Frankly, I think I deserve a click just for putting up with this dickhead's company for the last nine months.
