As promised, the story of the worst-smelling human I've ever encountered.
About a year ago, Hubby and I were taking the Metro downtown- I forget why now, probably to stroll around and visit a museum or something. On the way back, we got on the train only to run into a wall of stench. There was a... rather large... lady a few rows away and she smelled like she was rotting. Seriously, she smelled like rotting pork. She also seemed to have trouble with her breathing, or something, because she wheezed gently with each lungful. Halfway to the next stop I got this horrible suspicion that the smell was her breath, because there was a small surge in stench with every wheeze I heard.
And that was the worst-smelling person I have ever encountered, anywhere. I felt sick by the time we finally decided to move our seats, and her feelings be darned. Not that I think she really noticed, anyway- she seemed kind of out of it, almost dozing.
I can only hope she's had a doctor take a whiff of that, because she really smelled like she was wasting away inside and I'm sure that can't be healthy.
