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?

It seems much expected at UniversityI am currently living off campus with a couple who have some... bizarre habits. Their cleanliness is ok, but he put on deodorant before work which stinks the whole house out. Think nasal rapeing granny perfume but an old man version on a 22 year old. Also, they put toothpaste on each others toothbrushes ready for when they finished breakfast. One day when the male counterpart forgot the brush his teeth, the toothbrush (with the paste on) was neatly stored away for the next day.
I could go on forever about them, but it would not be entirely on topic. Instead, I will recall the tale of Big Nick or Uggman.
Last year in halls there was a mountain of a chap called Nick. He wasn't fat, but 6'4" rugby player with a large brow and definite caveman features. Most of the time he couldn't be bothered to walk the 5 meters to the toilet to piss so he would go in the sink. But like and sloshed bloke the floor:hole ratio was very poor. The smell of piss once caused another housemate to be sick, after trying to go in again, he was sick again.
He also decided not to wash his clothes. He went 6 weeks in the same outfit, the t-shirt he wore was another housemates and was far too small for him. Over the xmas holiday he decided yo leave all his clothes in water in the halls bath. It grew mould and was all disposed off.
