Today, my roommate confided in me that she hadn't been taking showers while at school because she was afraid of being in the shower when the fire alarm goes off. She goes home once every month, and will only shower there. I have to live with her for the rest of the year. FML

Today, my new roommate took a shower. This would be a good thing, except for the fact that it's apparently taken her two months just to take this one. I have to live with her for another year. FML
Today, while watching TV in my dorm, I clearly heard my roommate yell to someone proudly, "I've only taken a shower 4 or 5 times since I've been here." He's been my roommate for four months. FML
Today, the fire alarm went off in my dorm. Not only was it 30 degrees outside, but I was in the shower. FML
Today, I realized that my flatmate showers so little that the furniture she uses smells like BO. FML
Today, despite using deodorant religiously and showering twice a day, my roommate still smells so bad that every time she enters the room I become physically sick. FML
Today, my roommate decided to go on a group trip instead of paying our water bill. Now I can't shower until next week. FML
Today, I woke up to my step-mother taking a shower in my bathroom. Of course, this would be fine, if my bathroom wasn't connected to my room and closet, or that I live in an apartment in their back yard, built before she moved in. FML
Today, marks the third week in which my girlfriend has gone without taking a shower. She does this every so often, taking showers roughly once per month. She's convinced baby wipes will "hold her over". FML
Today, I came back from break to find that my roommate had been shitting in the bathtub for the entire 2 weeks I had been gone. FML

Poor thing, I have similar anxiety about showering in bathrooms with no natural light, or that have extractor fans. When I lived in a flat with a bathroom like that for a year and a half I had to shower with the bathroom door open (luckily I lived alone :P). Maybe suggest she go to the campus health service and see if they have counsellors who could help her with that?

I understand that she's scared, but that's honestly disgusting.

Well, if you hadn't noticed a smell before, it must not be that bad.

If you're in the shower during a fire, doesn't that kinda solve your problem?

She could keep trackie bottoms and a tshirt in the bathroom whilt she showers. You make friends in a fire evac, when you're all in pjs or towels or holding a frying pan. It's a good social experience and people are surprisingly non judgemental

tell her if she doesn't shower, you're gonna chuck a bucket of water on her once a week while she's sleeping until the year's through.

Throw something on her so she's so gross and filthy that she'll have to shower

I would offer up helpful suggestions. Like showering in a swim suit. That would be small enough she could wash body parts but still be decent for public wear. Be sympathetic and friendly. She's having a hard enough time.

How can she stand to be dirty for a month? I'd be very uncomfortable after the first 4 days.

Train her to get changed really really quickly in case it ever happens? Also tell her to take a bikini into the shower, that way if the fire alarm goes off she can put that on and clothes on top and won't get her underwear wet. She can wear flip flops or take them with her as well so she doesn't have to waste any time putting shoes on.
