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?

Blaaaaarg!I work with two guys who smell rank.
One, a manager, is a strange bloke. Has the look about him of Golem. Truely, he has more than a passing resemblance of the Tolkein character. And when ever you get near him you can smell the combination of sour sweat and bitter fag smoke. It's like he sleeps in a really warm ash tray.
However, he is not as bad as the guy on the shop floor who simply smells of ass. Really sweaty ass. Think continuously worn pants, 2 weeks old, after a number of marathons in a tropical country. He has to wear a uniform and I think he never washes it. Ever.
Unlike the manager, you can actually tell where this guy has been, in the last 5 minutes, as this all encompassing smell lingers for ages. Its not just simply a smell of crap; more a "fermented throat catching anal leakage" sort of an odour.
What is even more shocking is that no one ever refers to it, but you can clearly see people reacting when he gets close.
