Stinking of cigarettes, stale garlic, grog, unwashed clothes or stale body odour.
The fashion for bristles: they create a sandpaper rash on women's faces, v. painful.
Snot hanging out of the nose, caught on nose hairs. Dried sleep in the eyes.
Dirty fingernails, esp after having had time to clean up after a job.
In summer, in shorts, sitting legs sprawled, wearing no underwear, displaying the tackle.
Trousers hanging down revealing both underwear and bums.
Peeing, couching phlegm and spitting in the street.
I can't decide which of these turns me off the most.

but it's not just about values or hygeine.
It's a visceral sensory thing, instantaneous disgust.
