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?

Scary Stank MonsterI go to uni with a very well natured individual with nothing that would give cause for dislike, except for an extremely unpleasant odour. Now I've smelled worse in my lifetime, and it definitely doesn't have the intensity of the rather foul sounding assualts to the senses that have been detailed thus far.
However, he's a heavy bloke who walks strangely and has a lazy eye that occasionally moves entirely independently of the other, and also the smell is very much apparant as soon as you meet him(it also has the odd effect of becoming more noticeable the longer you're around him rather than less).
Anyway this combination mixed with an unusually enthusiastic type of personality, was rather poorly received one day when he asked a woman on the street for directions to the bank. She responded by screaming, spraying mace into his face and running away leaving him to lay on the ground writhing in pain until he was able to see again. Really, it's a pretty nasty thing to happen to a nice guy and it seems perhaps this woman shouldn't be carrying this stuff around with her if she sees attackers on every street corner (I think it's also of dubious legality) but I just couldn't help but find this storey intensely amusing.
