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 housemate.Probably a bit of a non-event now that I've read through the other horrors listed below, but anyway:
My new house mate has been here for about five months, & during that time, he has not once washed his bed linen or his bath towel. I have to hold my breath if he leaves it in the bathroom, or if his bedroom door is open. He doesn't wash his clothes more than once a fortnight, which would be acceptable, except for the fact he only owns two pairs of socks, one pair of trousers & two shirts (and seemingly, no underpants). Amazingly, his bodily hygiene is quite good, but I only wish he tried as hard with the washing up/toilet/bath/kitchen/floor. He is of the opinion that it is beneath him & only gives a token effort.
I shall enjoy asking the landlord to use my house mate's security deposit to replace the mattress in his bedroom.
