If it makes you feel any better, I once crossed paths with a frequent homeless man that shopped at my old store years ago. He was quite overweight, almost never bathed, wore a blue plaid overshirt and a bright yellow speedo. We called him Speedo Man whenever he was in the store shopping.

We had no idea where he got his money. Or why he didn't bother to get any sort of soap to wash himself with. All we knew was that he REEKED. Like burn your nosehairs and you struggled to keep from wretching kind of reek. It was twice as bad whenever it was summer and temps would rise, as he would ride his bike and sweat on the way to the store.

He once passed me in the Deli while I was waiting to get something for lunch. Some lady tried to ask me where something was, and I caught a horrendous wiff of Speedo Man. I could only cough in reply that 'I don't know,' before walking away trying not to hack up a lung.
