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?

Ex colleagueAn ex colleague of mine landed a job post geology degree in the Australian outback working as a surveyor for a mining company. As you can imagine, working with hairy miners on the very edge of civilization meant that it wasn't long before basic hygiene standards slipped a tad as clean clothing became impregnated with dust every few minutes and opportunities to shower were few and far between.
His proudest achievement was wearing the same pair of pants for a whopping six weeks.
