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?

Flatmate..My flatmate during my final year of studies was this 32 year old woman that was fresh out of Journalist school, and doing her MA in Marketing or somesuch (I was doing my MSc in Software Engineering :P). Anyway, she wasn't really a slob in the general sense of the word..
But she was a truly, really, awfully horrible chain smoker.
I don't smoke. I never have, never will. I don't have anything against smokers - it is purely their choice, and I don't have a say in it.
She never ever smoked in my room. Yet she constantly smoked in hers. She lived in the apartment for 8 months, and when she left and took down the posters/pictures in her room, the difference in the color of the walls was obvious. Where the posters were, the wall was nice and white. Every other bit of the wall was YELLOW. And I don't mean like creamish white yellow. I mean dark ugly yellow - kinda like the same hue as mustard.
Luckily, according to the contract, the landlord would cover any painting, repairs, etc once we had left.
