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 first year at university.....there was a lovely guy who lived in the opposite corridoor to mine.
He was a little bit weird, but on the whole everyone on our floor got on with him.
Things were fine for the first couple of weeks...he didn't smell pleasant but then we all put that down to being away from home...etc.
The smell grew steadily worse, until you couldn't walk into the opposite corridoor without gagging, the smell REALLY clung to you and you had to wash everytime he was around you. We banned him from our kitchen in the end because the smell would linger for so long after he'd left.
It all came to a head over summer. The stench was able to get through two sets of double doors and into all of our bedroom, even mine and I was as far away from his room as was possible.
My parents came to visit and I had to hold my Mum back from marching to the accomodations officer, "about the obviously dire state of the toilets and drains in the halls."
When he moved out, the university stripped his room and spent a very long time bleaching and disinfecting everything in an attempt to get rid of the smell.
He apparently smells much better now. Fucking lazy-arsed students...
