Wait till your stuck on a ship with someone like that.

I once sailed with a polish fella that was GREY it had been that long since he had a shower. I couldn't talk to him on watch due to his breath making me feel sick, and he wore the same overalls for 4 months, every day, every watch....

I went through 2 sets of overalls per 4 hour watch as it was a very very hot engine room, and the ship was fucked, but he didn't change his in 4 months.

We used to leave him brand new ones outside his cabin, and eventually the steward would put them back in the store as they'd been there for days.

The captain wouldn't go into his cabin for rounds, as the smell was overpowering, even when he had his door shut.

Even the memory of that man makes me feel sick, and I can't even remember his real name, but I do remember what we called him..

Egor.... As he was manky, weird looking, and had a massive hump on his back
