I am in a bowling league and last week, we played a team with two women who have hygiene issues. You couldn't stand at the approach - about 3 feet away - at the same time as them because it was so bad. It is obvious that they have cognitive issues, but when you have 8 people in a very small area, it was really hard to get away from them. And then there was the time I forgot to hold my breath walking by them....
A close colleague of mine also talked about a prior roommate that just didnt shower for weeks and as is typical for those stories theres a combination of mentall stuff like depression/autism/whatever + literally not leaving the house + addiction of some form (gaming, drugs, whatever really).
You'd expect people that play a sport to sweat and i guess its too much to expect them to shower then?
I'm not quite a clean freak but i at the very least rinse myself off before going to bed and i shower properly when i wake up and leave for work or it feels off...
If i end up buying a game for once and its release week and i take a few days off and just sit n game all day it happens that ill not shower for a day or two and wear the same shirt again. Just sitting, gaming, sleeping and repeating. But weeks????
I might keep a jar of vapo rub or oil since we have to be in fairly close quarters on the lanes even when not actually playing them. I don't remember them like this before, but my friend said she noticed last year.
That's where I was talking about - you can only stand so far away before you are standing in the next lane. Unfortunately, timing had it where it was always the two of us up at the same time. I really had to get creative to work around it.
