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?

My exHad one pair of jeans which he lived in (sometimes sleeping in them), after many months of him not washing them they were actaully turning green so I washed them while he was asleep - he wasn't very impressed by this for some reason. He also went several months without brushing his teeth once (I assumed that I just hadn't seen him brushing his teeth) and then told me like it wasn't something to be ashamed of. He also told me that when he was still at school he went several months without showering.
One time I stayed over and noticed some crustiness in the sheets - it turned out that many days earlier he got drunk and puked in his bed - AND LEFT IT THERE!!!!!! Needless to say I got straight in the shower and demanded that he changed the sheets while I was washing.
Why did I go out with him I hear you asking? It probably helped that I have a very limited sense of smell and that he was very good in bed (did I mention the lovely bacterial infection that I got from him not showering too often?).
No apologies for length - it's about the only thing that he didn't need to be ashamed about!
