As part of my job, I was asked to survey a council property once, and the poor girl who lived there was Down's syndrome and clearly not being looked after. I honestly doubt she had washed in literally years; either her flat, her clothes or her body.
Now I have got a pretty strong stomach for this sort of thing but I retched within a few minutes at the powerful odour of rancid, curdled milk and kippers. Luckily I carry an FFP3 orinasal mask for my job so I wore that, and whilst not entirely removing the stink it was bearable.

I went into the bathroom, where I was supposed to remove the bath panel. The bath was full of matter - green mould and slime with a large object floating in the middle. The girl helpfully explained that she was washing her coat. It was a snorkel parka, must have been there months at least. The bore of the toilet was so encrusted with hard, impacted faeces that there was only a hole the diameter of ping-pong ball left, and the seat was spattered with hardened st. In her kitchen, all the work surfaces had a thick layer of sedimentary fat lying on them. And when I say sedimentary I mean multiple strata laid down over a period of years. By close examination you could see her diet over that time due to food debris encased within like a glacial rift. Her diet was entirely by deep fat fryer.

I felt so sorry for her, she was clearly vulnerable.
Poor thing.

It used to be called 'Care In The Community' when I worked in the care sector - little care and little community ensured a disaster for most vulnerable people, unfortunately.

Noticed someone said further up in the thread about someone wearing the same jumper for a few days in a row.

I work in IT and I always wear a clean shirt with a knitted-type sweatshirt over the top. The jumper stays fresh as I have a shirt underneath, so I regularly wear it 3 or so days in a row then a similar jumper of a different colour after that.

Anything wrong with that? Don't want people thinking I'm the office scruff eek

I think there is a sensible line to tread - and wearing a jumper a couple of days is fine in my book. On the other hand, I remember one thread where someone was disgusted that not everyone had a shower after every dump.


This thread does get me paranoid though.....

The feeling is mutual.. Does make you wonder whether your house is one of those that has 'a smell'

Reckon I'd be able to notice when returning from holidays and the like.

I'm going to raise my hand and hang my head in shame!

For a while now my Wife's been complaining that my cycling shoes were a bit whiffy. I made the assumption that due to perspiration on a daily basis they might be carrying a bit of foot odour so, (I didn't have time to wash them thouroughly), put them outside to air and it seemed to make them better for a bit.

Since then I realised that my cleats were a bit past their best so set about replacing them. I removed the little sole things I clip on when I get off my bike and was hit with the unmistakable stench of dog st!

See I'd been unclipping the soles when I went out on my bike and clipping them back on when I got off so I never noticed the cleats were packed with st.

They've been binned and my shoes scrubbed.

I am ashamed.

can't remember

Yeah, but having a shower after every one is a bit inconvenient and impractical.

Those moist paper things are good but not good for the environment, essential when travelling though as sphincters have no concept of you not really wanting a crap in an airport.

Well no, but it's really a non issue as most normal people wear underwear and don't touch/pick things up with their bum! I shower in the mornings before work, I can't dump my load first thing in the morning as much as it would be convenient too hehe No showers at work!

Honestly, I think 2 days is a limit on a jumper, despite wearing a clean shirt every day, its still the perception of the same clothes for three OR SO days (implying a working week)

For the sake of a couple of more jumpers, i'd consider a change.

A bloke in my office often gets ridiculed (behind his back) for wearing the same trousers for more than 3 days

my personal rule

Trousers - 2 days
Jumpers - 2 days max
Shirt / underwear - 1 working day, changed if attending work event in evening (after showering)

Well yes, if you don't shower after you poop you just have st marinating in your bum hole.

Showering once in the morning and again in the evening is impractical?

Wet wipes are better than toilet paper but still not as good as a shower.

Worked in Singapore for a time during offshore rig construction. Most of the workers the shipyard employs are from Bangladesh and they house them in pitiful conditions, where I am assuming there is not a lot of AC or home comforts. Including the showering options. Couple in the fact of the high humidity and heat , then place said workers inside a tank to carry out welding , fitting and painting etc.
The level of BO was off the scale. To the extent that even being in that atmosphere the smell would also stick to you. Nasty , nasty. Once smelt never forgotten.
But at the end of the day I'm sure a lot of it was down to the employers providing less than adequate living and working conditions.

FFS, what kind of bad diet/digestive disorder/malformed ahole do you lot have that you can't st without smearing it all over your crack? Most of the time I st and there's nothing there to wipe, it's usually only post-pub that there's any work to be done in wiping. Wet wipes are the work of beelzebub and people who flush them should be strung from lampposts by their heels.

How on earth can you tell that someone in your office was wearing the same trousers on consecutive days? I wouldn't have a clue what trousers colleagues were wearing the previous day (unless they were a noticeably different colour/style to the norm or had a big mark on them or something).

Was trying to think what the nearest chaps to me had on shirt-wise too yesterday but no idea. Not sure I'd be able to identify whether they were wearing a "fresh" one today unless they came in looking un-ironed or had a bit of a whiff about them.

Do blokes generally log what colleagues are wearing or is it just me being being hugely unobservant?
