Perhaps they can all bring a hygiene product along as a hint!

You need to get this person to a health professional....soon.

Some things need to be stated before we start going on about not bathing. I do believe there are certain scenarios that would allow for not bathing for days on end, these include.
1. Camping or survival situations- You can't be expected to bathe regularly if you are no where near a proper facility. Not only that, but it's part of the fun.
2. Lack of hot water- I'll hunt for a location if need be usually, but if my gas is turned off, I'm pretty sure I'd have no problem not bathing.
3. Weekends- Unless the weekend involves a specific event, meeting or social situation, bathing over the weekend is not necessary. This includes holidays or in-house vacations.
4. When you don't really smell that bad- Can cologne cover it up? Then you're fine.
5. When you smell bad, but you're not going to see anyone you particularly care about- Why bother right? I mean, they probably smell too.
6. If it's not Monday morning- If it's not Monday, you don't need to shower.
