Oh man, the hygiene. I do know one or two people who actively dislike taking showers because of the water coming at you, the drying process...which I sympathize with. But I have stood next to a great many geeks who don't seem to understand deodorant or washing your clothes...or that when your favorite wolf shirt is more hole than fabric, it's time to stop wearing it to the LARP.
And, you know, I know pretty well that basic maintenance on a body and home is not as intuitive as most people seem to think--there are a lot of tasks, and some of them really are necessary and some are just cosmetic, and they all need to be done at different intervals for different conditions. If you've got a touch of the 'sperg, or you're busy coding or writing or playing WoW, it can be hard to remember everything or to tear yourself away from what you're doing. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. DEODORANT. TAKES TWO SECONDS. THEY EVEN MAKE BRANDS THAT DON'T ITCH, IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE.
