I can't stand dirty fingernails. I understand if someone works in a job like auto mechanic, etc. they can get dirty fingernails. I was making a bank deposit today and the young man was nicely dressed in a 3-piece suit, hair coiffed and when he started hitting the keys of his keyboard, I was horrified. His fingernails were filthy. I don't care if he was digging in his garden last night, invest in a nail brush and clean your nails.  Yep, I'm judging. Or *assessing* per the judging thread.  ETA: I guess horrified was a bit over the top!  |

I'm not in love with dirty fingernails (first thing I taught the 6yo when he arrived was how to scrub his nails), but I wouldn't say they "horrify" me, either.  |

Please just wash your butt crack and armpits every day. I don't care if you don't shampoo your hair every day, but people need to get the hot zones once a day. Even when I camp I give myself a sponge bath in the hot spots every day.

Showered. Must be showered. I hate that just-rolled-out-of-bed smell.

And I will add, unless I am having morning sex with you, I don't want you to smell like you just woke up. In that case, your smell is fine.

I can overlook a lot of things as long as the teeth are brushed. They don't have to be sparkling white, model teeth. Just nicely brushed and clean with no bad breath.

I am most bothered by smells, so anything associated with that would be my bugaboo. I don't wash my hair every day. so I am not uber clean, but if I can smell any part of a hot zone, I'm out.

We went to Disney World years ago and a non-US family (perhaps a cultural thing?)did not bathe on a regular business - they reeked. I refused to enter a ride with them. The stench was so bad, that if I had to endure the ride with them I would have vomited.

I wonder if this guy worked with something difficult to remove not realizing that he didn't have the right soap for the clean-up job. For that matter, some art or craft supplies can leave a mess of your hands or nails if you don't have the right cleaning supplies at your disposal, too. As for deodorant issues, I think some people notice right away if they need to reapply and others just don't. I have been reminding my 12 year old this summer that he needs to reapply during the day. He just doesn't seem to notice it!! Aack!! (When he's in school I remind him almost every day to reapply after gym. Maybe I shouldn't.  I bet if his friends pointed out that he needed to do so he wouldn't forget anymore. ) Myself, I notice any perspiration odor on myself right away because I really, really don't like it. |

As a middle school teacher the number 1 must have for personal hygiene for others: BRUSH YOUR TEETH!!! NOTHING is more disgusting that talking to a kid whose breath stinks to high heaven and probably hasn't brushed in a week. Oh.my.gawd! GAG! I think this is the number one reason I could never be a dental hygienist! I'd be sick every time someone came in for a cleaning.  |

DH has a friend that has the worst BO ever. I use to think that it was just a summer thing but nope it can be a snow blizzard and he still smells. When he sits on our couch our couch and throw pilliows will smell like BO for days (not even exaggerating here) I have to open the windows to air out the place because it's THAT bad.
So BO. That's my big thing. Please don't smell like BO.

I gotta say, maybe I should send a mint in with DS for lunch. He can't even use the restroom during lunch without eating up extra time to go find a teacher and ask for a pass, so brushing his teeth after lunch each day isn't going to happen. And they're not supposed to chew gum. I never really thought about it before, but if he brushes his teeth after breakfast, but then has left-over chili or sour cream 7 onion chips or something for lunch, yeah, I imagine his teachers could be cringing a bit if they ever have to talk to him one on one.

When I was pregnant, I had a hightened sense of smell - like a bloodhound I tell ya! If someone on the train car i rode into work ate a meal with garlic the night before or had beer breathe I could smell it, I would rum to my office and have dry heaves in my garbage can - good times!!!

Well. I'd prefer your body or any of its cavities not have any smell beyond soapy clean. I don't want it to reek unpleasantly but I also don't want a face full of perfume waft on the other hand, either.
Bad breath is one of the worst offenses though -- especially because there are so many things you can do even on the spot to mask it.

I don't like dirty teeth or smelly pits. But for me the worst is feet. Please do not slip your shoes off especially in the lunch room.

As a teacher, I can say lunch breath is preferable to morning breath. Morning breath does not go away even with lunch. I can tell a kid did not brush their teeth that morning whether it is 9 am or 2 pm. Kids don't usually brush their teeth after lunch - even those with braces who should. If your son even just swishes with water at the fountain that would help. |

The very first thing I thought of, without even opening the thread and seeing your OP, was dirty fingernails! It gives me the heebie jeebies. DD was working in a hair salon for a little while, just answering phones, washing hair and doing dishes, and she'd come home with hair dye under her fingernails. They always looked dirty, and even though I knew it was hair dye not dirt, it still made me shudder!
Other than that, pretty much everything that everyone else has mentioned! |

Luckily there were no RPs at Fred Meyer while we were getting his special hand cleaner! And yes, I have gotten ink stains around my nails from crafting. I didn't realize how disgusting we are  |

Before we got our nice upgraded bathrooms at the cabin put in, we had this nasty, small, coffin-like metal shower stall in the one bathroom we had. It was tiny. It was horrible. It had a towel bar screwed into the outside of it with wood screws that had sharp ends that stuck into the inside of the stall that I would scratch my arms on EVERY.STINKING.TIME. I washed my hair in there. I got so tired of it that I decided it just wasn't worth it to be totally clean for the two days we'd be there. So for that situation like at the cabin, camping, etc. it doesn't bother me if someone doesn't shower EVERY single day. (I like the thought of at least "hitting the hot spots" daily though!) But for the love of all things holy, there is just NO reason at all why the average person can't brush their teeth at least daily. Please. Just do it. Especially if you're my brother who drinks 5-6 POTS of coffee a day and smokes. PLEASE! |
