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?

A few peopleNot me, thankfully.. Ok, I tend to get a little whiffey after work (I work in a room with no airconditioning and a lot of computers, so it gets a little stuffy), but I do at least shower when I get home.
One of my old students used to have a hygene problem. He stank of ammonia (badly enough that talking to him for two minutes left me with streaming eyes). Now, I know that that smell has been linked with Diabetes, but he could have at least tried to do something about it. It could also have something to do with wearing the same suit every day for 3 years.
One of my old college lecturers also had a bit of a problem. She insisted on wearing biker's leathers indoors (these get sweaty anyway), and didn't ever seem to wash.
