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?

While working for a reputable music chain.....I became aware of some regular customers, a blind woman and her husband who routinely came in to browse the DVD's. This would be surprisingly normal were it not for the fact that she smelled really, really bad - we had to spray all manner of chemicals in the lift and around the areas they had vacated upon their departure. My staff complained incessantly, but I urged them to empathise with the poor couple.
A few months later, during a busy Saturday afternoon we find a small turd in the DVD section; wishing to investigate this grisly surprise, we repair to the CCTV room where upon closer examination of the footage, we discovered said turd slips gently out of the base of the smelly womans trousers.
I imagine I've joined the ranks of only a few retailers who've had to ban a couple from their shops because the wife took a shit on the floor.
