Personal Hygiene
There 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?

Can't resist telling this story
Someone at my Dad's work had a bit of a BO issue. My Dad was his manager so, one day, one of Mr Smelly's colleagues went to report the issue to my Dad.
My Dad took his comments on board but had to ask how the guy was affected because, working on the UK (as opposed to the worldwide) team, he didn't sit that near to Mr Smelly.
To which the guy replied "oh it wasn't me that complained. It was the rest of the world. They just elected me as spokesperson".
To everyone in the office, it made perfect sense - there being 2 teams (UK and Rest Of World) but to me (aged 11 or so) it sounded like the funniest thing ever!
