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?

Recovering HippyFor a while in college I went hardcore hippy. The drugs, the lack of bathing, the whole 9 yards. Long story short, after almost a solid year barefoot and bathing, maybe 3 times a month my feet were just a solid crust of grime I'd picked up walking to school and my hair had gone into nasty, stinky white-boy dread-locks. It was rather foul.
Finally at the end of this streak, I was actually asked to leave a Pier 1 furniture store because my odor and appearance were so foul.
It was rather fun blending in with groups of homeless people, though... ah well..
