What Happens When You Don't Shower for Five Years

We had a guy at work some years ago that did not bath or shower for many months at the time.

And when he did, it probably never occurred to him to change clothes while he was at it.

But, what do you expect from a pig fucker...:rolleyes:
 
We had a guy in our unit who was such a pig
that he got hauled off to the showers for a scrub-brushing.

When the CO ordered his locker to be opened,
the smell of ammonia was overwhelming.

I don't know how people get
that unaware...
 
I don't know what I would do if that had to be the way we lived. Really...odors bother me. I'm having cold sweats thinking about it.:eek:
 
I remember reading the books when I was young,
but I know a guy where I worked not to long ago
whose family did that same thing with their baths
because they were too poor to afford the water bill.

You did not want to climb up into a trailer with
him on a hot day. He unloaded by himself...

Really? You don't? Well to be honest most people wouldn't. It happens easily depending on the situation.

Many moons ago I was in a nice little warm country on the other side of the Pacific. I had applied for and was granted a two week leave home. When I arrived at the Danang airport, coming right off a 3-week stay on a firebase I was still dressed in the fatigues I'd worn for (you guessed it ) 3 weeks. We landed at SeaTac and as I walked through the airport I noticed people were avoiding getting close to me. Since I was excited about being home I didn't think much of it.

My girlfriend at the time met me and when I pulled her close for a kiss she looked at me with a funny expression. We drove back to her place and I took my first shower in a long time. She had some civies ready and I got dressed so we could go out to supper. In my haste, I left my fatigues laying on the floor.

As I stepped into my room when we returned that evening I was met with a blast of odor I can only describe as eye-watering.

"What the hell is that?" I asked my girlfriend.

"Your clothes. I wanted to tell you at the airport but didn't want to embarrass you."

Being immersed in it I had learned to ignore it until it was removed and I became used to alternate smells. It is amazing what we can get used to and ignore.

As an aside on my return trip, I went all the way back to my unit in civies. I caught hell from my CO and the first Sargent, but my buddies thought it was funny.

Comshaw
 
Two million people in the US have anosmia.

It would not bother them. . .
 
I stopped using shampoo at the start of the pandemic. I still wash my hair with water and comb it through, but I've only shampooed it twice since March. I have hair below my shoulders and it does get an oily look (kinda like a very light pomade was drawn though it at this point), but it takes weeks to get that way. I wont tell ya'll it's been great, but using shampoo every other day wasn't great either. It's been an interesting pastime.
 
I love Little House on the Prairie. I have one issue...when they worked all week in the fields and only took a bath on Saturdays with the whole family using the same water.:eek:

I did an assignment in the Czech Republic back in the 1990s, after the fall of communism. I was told by experienced Czech folks that "Czech hygiene standards aren't up to those in the West". They showered once a week on Sat night. Got there on a Monday morning..hmm...this isn't so bad. By Friday the collective smell was overpowering....and a lot of companies had a Friday fish fry so the combination of fried fish and body odor took some getting used to.
 
I don't know if I should point fingers...




I haven't cleaned my shower in a decade.

I have a clean shower.




;) ;) :p
