    The poster thought you were either a woman, or gay.

    Are these terrible shameful things?

    Pettiness like that is not a nice quality.

    Not at all. It was a little gay joke like "you're gay". Not even a good gay joke. Speaks for itself.

    As I said, a username of ‘duderino’ suggested a woman to me. You are a very petty person to keep harping on about that. As well as being judgmental.

    Given you grossness and smelliness, I judge you a gross, smelly person. But that can hardly come as a surprise to you. You started a thread about how gross and smelly you are. What were we supposed to think, "there's someone who has their sh1t together"? - their sh1t together in their crusty undies.

    I've stopped shaving. I had a beard before Covid 19 now I have a fur ball.

    I can't go one day without a shower and you can smell you're own body odour unless you're nose blind (from not showering very often).

    Jesus, you are really put out by the ‘duderino’ thing. Sounds like you are not coping too well with lockdown. Stay well, dude(rino).

    I’m well, thanks. Clean and healthy and in great company.

    I’m sure you’ll feel a bit better after a wash. Less of a gross and smelly, for a while anyway.

    It's rolled off! You're meant to apply it to clean, dry pits not layer it over yesterday's application. Must be getting snagged on the congealed sweat and lumps of dried out roll that are clumping in your underarm hair, surely?

    I hadn't realised so many people were in thrall to ‘Big Soap’. The personal hygiene industrial complex have you all so brainwashed that you think the world will end if you don’t shower every day.

    Wake up, Sheeple and break free from your oppressors.

    I dread to think how the bedclothes of the soap dodgers smell, or the weird stains they've accumulated.

    I bet they don't even iron their bedclothes when they do eventually change them.

    Still showering daily, putting on makeup and clothes daily. May as well stick to my usual routine because it feels good and I like feeling clean and fresh.


    I don't understand how someone could switch to only once a week showers. There's not a hope in hell you can't smell your stench after a week without a shower, that's absolutely vile.

    I'd say it's a nightmare. What date have you set in your head for an absolutely monster session. I'm thinking the June bank holiday is reasonable. I'm hoping the pubs are open but if not I'll have about 30 people over go the house and fire up the BBQ and start in to the cans by 11am at the latest.

    I used to get the cleaner to iron my bedclothes. Now I have to do it myself as I got used to how great they feel. It’s a pain in the arse to iron bedsheets, let me tell you.

    Who said they dont shower after a week?

    I think its bizarre wearing make up just to sit in the house.
    Why bother?.

    Nice to feel good no doubt but dont need to but Im not going to wear a tuxedo in the house to do that!.

    Feeling clean you said also.Surely that would mean clean of make up too?

    It is, but definitely worth it. Putting loads of fabric conditioner in the wash helps and they smell lovely too.

    The world won't end. You'd get pretty smelly and gross though. Fine for someone who is OK with being a smelly, gross person in general. Repulsive to the rest.

    Have a friend who does this and he becomes a sloth. I think not washing feeds in mentally to the attitude of f*** it and it shows physically and mentally. Can't beat having a shower feeling fresh and "new" as it were, ready to get going with the day.

    Iron bedsheets? You can't be serious, surely no one does such a crazy thing?

    I don't iron any of my clothes, totally unnecessary if you hang them to dry the creases fall out. The only thing that needs ironing is formal shirts and I drop them into the cleaners for pressing. Haven't used an iron myself in years.

    Oh my mouth is watering at the thought of the session thats going to happen when the pubs reopen, it's a topic of a lot of conversation in the whatasapp groups.

    In the mean time I always include a sizeable beer order with my online shopping delivery every week.

    I'm on the 500ml cans of Carlsberg these evenings, a couple of local places usually have decent deals going on. It's not the same, though - I was always one for holding up a counter and talking crapola with mates. I've been doing the "virtual pub" kind of thing with friends and a few from the office via WebEx/Zoom - it's amusing enough, but like I say, not the same.

    Nah it's important to have a routine these days, it's essential you keep showering on a regular basis and continue having standards, exercise etc.

    It's important for your mental well being.

    Not a good idea for bedsheets. Also if you use some pomade or grease your hair the pillows will get manky fairly fast so best to keep on top of that too

    While my personal hygiene has been reasonable during the 3 and a half weeks I've been working from home (I shower most days, but did go 3 days without at one stage), I don't really get the repeated mantra that you have to maintain your regular routine for the sake of your mental health. I even attended an online work course which was giving wfh tips saying that I can do my job better if I dress as smartly as I did when going into the office

    That might work for some people, but to me, I really don't need that, I'm happy to be detached from my regular routine. Pyjamas are designed to be as comfy as possible, so why wouldn't I sit in them all day while working? It has zero impact on my ability to do my job. It doesn't discourage me from exercising, and it actually makes me feel better while working

    You call it a novelty, but given that my job involves sitting in front of a computer screen all day, with no video calls, how does what I'm wearing impact my ability to do my job? I could be sitting here in heels and lingerie and it wont make a difference

    Overall, I have been making the most of this as I have a few months at home yet (in the US, and we're way behind Ireland right now with timeline of the virus). With no commute and having the time and energy to prepare my own meals, I'm eating healthier. I have more time to exercise, and adjust my work hours around it.
