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?

Kwik Save, Edgeley, Stockport - 1991I had the luck and good fortune to work at Kwik Save in my student days - and we had a customer who could have no more appropriate nickname than 'Mrs Smelly'.
Heavily made up and wearing a nasty fur coat - no matter where you were in the store at the time - you knew the instant she entered the building.
If you were on the checkout it was like Russian Roulette, albeit with worse odds - about a 1 in 4 chance she'd choose your till.
The trick was to take a massive breath before she put her three or four items on the conveyor and hold it until she'd left. Unfortunately, although she would only buy a few items, she'd take an age to fish some small change out of a tiny purse.
Without fail you'd end up exhaling dramatically and have to take shallow breaths to avoid the taste of her foul stench, whilst oblivious to your gagging she'd drop £1.65 in coppers and small silver into your hand.
Mind you, she was nothing compared to our other stinking customer - Mrs Piss...
