Woman’s Showering Habits Become A “Biohazard”, Roommate Gets Her Evicted

The bacterial culture?

Her culture of lying and being disgusting, I think!

Similar thought - I was thinking 18th century France, except that the aristocrats at least used perfume.

It's a common misconception that they just didn't bath back then. The conquistadors smelled bad, because they couldn't bath on the ships, where they spent multiple weeks on, not because they didn't bath in general.

Spanish conquistador baths when he could.

After a quick google, the AI came up with two cultures that have "unique" bathing habits. The Himba people, an African tribe that lives in an extreme desert culture which makes is challenging as they don't often have access to portable water; and Medieval Europe. lol

Leper colony culture. She was afraid if she washed her back off, it would be literal.

the culture of the undead?

I hope it will keep being easy for you, hopefully not just relatively easy but actually easy. I've had shower issues both due to depression and a broken leg and it really is nice to be clean.

That's a completely different kettle of fish, Shyla. I've taken care of elderly people with health and mobility issues, and sometimes, unfortunately, they smell bad. But those people can't help it. It's not voluntary. They can't move, sometimes they can't control their bodies, and even if you clean them often, they smell. But they can see the difference between dirty and clean, and they love being clean and smelling nice. This woman, on the other hand, is able to move and wash but she can't be bothered, even when she knows her smell is unacceptable for others.

Totally can relate. My depression and now the fatigue after Covid make it hard to keep up with personal hygiene. Showering after some time being unable to do so is a huge relief and feels great. I'm lucky I found the great Zinc-creme I'm now using. It reduces smell and works like a charm for me. Even with sweating I smell less and feel way better. Especially on hot days where I sweat like crazy.

Who owns you????!!!

You have owners? Are you a cat?

Bouche, when I can’t bathe because my back is out, I do a “bird bath.” I use cleansing towels especially for this purpose (the hospital gave me a LOT of ‘em), but before I had em, I used rubbing alcohol and a washcloth. I suggest this in case like me, you’re terrified of smelling bad but can’t always get into the shower. Good luck!

Other than your OWNERS???

I'm in this boat at the moment too. I know I'll get a boost out of showering - especially if I do my hair too - but... Spoooooons...

you live with your owners? either a slave or a dog?

Ewwwwww can these people not smell themselves!

This doesn't sound lazy and dirty, this sounds like he grew up poor. If those rules/habbits were deeply ingrained growing up, changing could be a real struggle. It is one of the things they teach when you look into doing foster care.

I'm guessing MHI, needs to see professional help, and maybe meds? Had a neigbour like this once, stinked up the whole corridore (used to get to the appartments). Sadest part were the to dogs having to not get any walks and living in that total filth. Hope both dogs and human got help!

Apart from the "normal" body smells, she goes running every morning! I'm not surprised the landlord felt like vomiting!
