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?

Bag Lady15 or so years back, when I was a cobol programmer on a IBM mainframe, there was a consultant programmer that worked in our team. We called her the bag lady because basically she always carried this sainsburys carrier bag with its bulky contents, and it was never out of her tightly clutched hands. She basically looked like she had been dragged through a hedge backwards, he dress sense was worse than bad pickings from a jumble sale, but worst of all, SHE STUNK so bad I never thought it was possible for any human ALIVE to smell that bad. Eventually my manager had a few words with her about her revolting body odour and personal hygene, but not a lot really changed. Although one day, she was slack in her personal security, and she got up from her desk possibly to go to the toilets, but she had left her bag on the desk, so given that it was a burning question for everyone, my manager took a sneaky peek at what was inside the sainsburys carrier bag.... we were bitterly disapointed, as it was just full of more carrier bags.
