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?

The AirportWhile in college, I worked for an airline, we will call it Delta because that is their name. I worked at BWI Airport (Baltimore Washington Airport) and we had this one homeless guy that seemed to LIVE in the aiport.
One night, he came into my office complaining that he had lost a box and asking if I had it in my office (Baggage service). I told him no, I did not have it, primarily because I didnt. He stank so bad that I had to open a door that led out to the baggage area, which stank of jet fuel, just to clear the office out a bit.
He just sat there...and sat there...eventually he fell asleep and I woke him up and told him "You NEED to leave the office now. You CANNOT sleep here." And then I motioned to a passing State Police Officer to come in and move him along...and the Cop came in and explained the situation: they COULDNT kick him out of the airport because...wait for it...the guy had a ticket!
Apparently the guy IS an eccentric millionaire that literally LIVES in airports and the grounds for doing so is that he has pre-paid ticket vouchers! Tons of them! He flies from one airport to another and then stays a day or two at that airport, then flies to another airport, etc. It just so happened that Baltimore was his home base.
God he stank. I cant imagine what it must have been like to be on a small commuter plane with him.
