This isn’t just an Anon problem anymore. My partner is a supervisor and he keeps having to have conversations with the 25 and younger crowd about showering, wearing clean clothes, and either wearing deodorant or coming up with other solutions for working in an environment with other people present. Men and women, 18-25.
I supervise soil remediation, which occasionally involves working in a liquid-proof coverall, with a hood, thick rubber gloves and a full face mask. I’ve had to literally pour a stream of sweat out of my boots. And I’m just standing there watching and writing, not actually doing physical labour.
And I still have to remind people to shower when changing. Even if you don’t care about killing yourself, I mean, come on.
I have no idea. I was a bit of the unwashed teenager when I was, like, 14, but I pretty quickly pivoted around to showering in the morning. And using deo if I had to work in a crowded office. I think a lot of that was peer group: if you see all people around you take a bit of care, you start doing it too.
It’s a trend I’m seeing too. I blame it on the cost of living - people renting with bad bathroom situations or people not able to consistently pay the cost of hot water
How often do you shower?

Really? Why is that a thing
I have no idea. I was a bit of the unwashed teenager when I was, like, 14, but I pretty quickly pivoted around to showering in the morning. And using deo if I had to work in a crowded office.

I’m too old to be able to answer that correctly.
