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?

Another guy at workThe last post below reminded me of another unsavoury creature in our office.
He too has some hideous skin complaint which leads to large flakes being left all over the place. He must use some kind of industrial strength medication as well which seems to reek from his every pore.
The worse thing about him is if you visit the cubicles in the gents - you can always tell if he's been in by the huge flakes all over the floor, the seat, the bog roll holder - you name it. Eek! Reverse! Next cubicle!
He lives on one of the main roads into town. Now I'm no Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen, but I do know that net curtains went out with the ark. Particularly ones that are about 30 years old, and in a shade of minging grey from having never been washed. Barf.
