[Dookus]

6. burnt

popcorn

[Democrats unite]

7. A Republican!!!!

Nuff said.

[put out]

10. A chest freezer gone kerplooey, and no one knew, until

The Unfortunate One went to get some food. Maybe it was a Republican in there, no one could tell by then. The Unfortunate One's singing and dancing during the pukitudinous episode is still a family legend.

[mlawson]

8. Oh, I remember a really, really bad one!

When I was in college I worked at a restaurant, during the diner shift, as a waiter. After the kitchen closed, they had to scub the grill down with some sort of stone. The smell from that, very burnt metallic, literally made me puke the first time I was near it.

After that the cooks always warned me to get out of the building when they were going to do that chore. It makes me nauseous to think about it to this day.

[Kat45]

9. Garlic. When I get a strong whiff, my stomach physically turns

and I get out of the area because I feel that I could easily :puke:

[tridim]

11. You're weird

Garlic is the best smell in the world! Garlic burps aren't that pleasant however.

[Kat45]

12. I could be allergic to it; I don't know. n/t

[flamingyouth]

26. My dad too

Although he likes eating it, he can't stand smelling it cooking. :shrug:

[curse10]

13. vomit

but that's probably common :puke:

[DemoTex]

29. Raw durian. Smells like vomit. Makes it hard to eat.

Ubiquitous in Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Saigon. Tastes great (ice creame, custard, etc) once you get over the vomit smell.

[TrogL]

62. somebody threw up all over the back stairs

two nights ago. The place still stinks.

[dwckabal]

14. Hard Boiled Eggs N/T

[Nikia]

15. Rotting garbage

I couldn't stand to be a grabage collector.

[rodbarnett]

45. a dumpster at a

Mexican restaurant. Yuk! all that rancid grease.

[foxy]

17. Coked Cauliflower..close enough I guess, n/t

[foxy]

19. Blood spilled wrongly..

n/t

[Martin Eden]

20. rotting corpse

If you ever smelled it -- hands down the worst!

[foxy]

22. I had to sit and smell my best friends burning in a house fire..

is that worse than rotting corpse?

[bearfan454]

48. A sauerkraut and onion hot dog fart

Especially if it is in the car in the winter with the heat on. Phew !

[Lydia Leftcoast]

56. Oh, that's indescribably horrible

:-(

[arwalden]

23. Foul Unclean Bed Linens and Floors In Nursing Homes

It's so sad.

[Interrobang]

24. That combined smell one gets...

...when one must evacuate one's bowels while one is menstruating.

*delicately bred shudder and moue of disgust*

(There, I managed to say a really offensive thing in a totally non-offensive way! Wow!)

[Bundbuster]

40. Thanks for sharing that...

...in such a nice way.

[flamingyouth]

25. Cat box

After my big stinky Chester uses it. peeeuuuuwwweeee....

[Zorro]

27. Paper mills

Lots of rotten egg sulfur dioxide odors. Very common in North Florida.

Rotten potatoes will gag a maggot, too.

[DemoTex]

31. I love paper mills

When landing in Mobile, Charleston, Savannah, etc., the passengers are so uneasy about "who cut the fart" that they never notice the quality of the landing. Then I'd get to watch them get off the plane, with the smell-o-the-fart still twinging their noses. Perhaps they think the captain farted. Captains never fart. Believe me. Ask my wife.

[arwalden]

32. They Are What They Are... But I Love Them Too

My grandmother lived about 2 miles from a paper mill outside of Valdosta Georgia. When we drove to visit her, I knew we were getting close when I could smell the paper mill. All weekend long while visiting, the paper mill odors were ever present.

Now... I'll always associate the odors of paper mills with the happy hours traveling to my grandmother's home and the lazy days and cozy nights spent there as well.

34. Is that Maggie Thatcher in your fireplace?

Or is it Julia Child?

[Rhiannon12866]

68. That's Samantha's Aunt Clara! I guess you are too young to remember

"Bewitched," the favorite show of my young childhood. All little girls wanted to have powers like Samantha, including me. It is on TV Land. Check it out. Aunt Clara was a senile old witch who was loveable, but had lost many of her powers. I still tune in, occasionally. It was a great show.:-)

[mitchum]

28. fingernail polish remover and other solvents

[Skittles]

30. too much perfume in the freaking elevator

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Rhiannon12866]

52. Or in a closed car! I cannot stand riding with my mother

She just does not get it. The last time I did, I had to use my inhaler. Why do people need perfume, anyway? This is not the Middle Ages. In the 21st century we can shower everyday and don't need to cover up unpleasant body odors. I am not a big fan of aftershave, either.:shrug:

[TrogL]

63. Strong perfumes are banned in our office

because three of us on the floor stop breathing.

Unfortunately, we share the elevator with a public office downstairs that attracts women with strong perfume.

[Rhiannon12866]

69. I think that is a great idea. Why women, these days, feel compelled

to still wear perfume is beyond me. When I first started working I used to be overwhelmed by the most ghastly perfumey smell. I was trying to figure out which of the two girls I worked with was responsible. It turns out it was the lone guy that I worked with! It was his aftershave or men's cologne. He let his little girl choose which one he should wear. She was very cute, but this subjected the rest of us to noxious smells. Why do people feel compelled to use this? As I have said before, we do not need this in the 21st century since we are able to shower daily!:puke:

[SmileyBoy]

33. That fart I just let out.

PHEEEEWWWWW!!!!

:evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin:

[NNN0LHI]

35. The Sherwin-Williams factory that makes paint on the south side of Chicago

Most favorite smell is drying alfalfa.

Don

[AlFrankenFan]

36. Business suits...

...that are new. I don't know why but it just bothers me, especially fresh from the drycleaner.

[TOhioLiberal]

37. Worst smell....

Driving by an oil refinery....Yikes!!! I have to roll the windows up, even in the summer time!!! Its the smell added to natural gas, amplified about 1000 times.
Trekkerlass

[kodi]

38. pyridine

those who have smelled it know of what i mean.

[TrogL]

64. dead body smell?

[Insider]

39. bleach

especially early in the morning, or while trying to eat

[Bundbuster]

41. Yellowstone sulphur pots

...or their approximation through human flatulence when encountered on an elevator.

[Spirochete]

42. burnt hair

rotten poultry

[wantnobush]

44. rotten poultry

makes me gag

[tsakshaug]

43. I can take most natural oders

Most rotting, feces, pee and the like I can deal with. I don't like any perfume, or the like and really bad is the stale cigarette smoke on some people, add that with perfume and I am out of there. I can stand farts-even good beer farts more than that combo

[the_boxer_]

46. Cat poop...

Why does it smell worse than any other poop?

:shrug:

[Jen72]

47. The chemical smell in Nail bars....

Fish
Over cooked green veggies
Silage

[OldSoldier]

49. The chemical aisle at a garden center

It's that combination of herbicide, pesticide and liquid fertilizer that turns my stomach every time.

[Rhiannon12866]

50. Lamb curry, that they used to make at my boarding school

The smell would hang in the halls for days. To this day, I cannot abide lamb.:puke:

[BlueCollar]

74. philistine!!!

I love curry...:-)

[LynneSin]

51. My cat's ass after he's taking a dump

SEriously...

He'll jump on the bed after using the litter box and his ass just STINKS. How can something so cute and adorable have such a horrible smell coming out of his other end.

[Rhiannon12866]

54. Maybe he needs a change in diet

Just a suggestion. My cat doesn't have this problem, but thanks for reminding me that I need to clean the litter box. It's one of the covered ones, so it's not too bad until you open it up. I try to get to it a couple of times a day, though I just have the one kitty. The worst smell was when her poor ear got infected and we were in a closed car for 40 minutes on the way to the vet. He cleaned it and treated it and the smell was suddenly gone. Poor kitty. I have kept up with it ever since.:-(

[TrogL]

53. musty bathing suits

I don't know if it's trauma or an Aspie thing. I go into full blown panic attack.

[geniph]

55. Teenage boys

after my stepsons have had some of their friends over, all of them packed into the family room playing video games and eating crap and not bathing for as long as they can get away with it, I have to pretty much fumigate the room to get that funk out of it. I've considered simply burning the house down. ~PEEE-YEW~!

[Sugarbleus]

58. Yeah geniph!! that too, almost forgot peeewwwww n/t LOL

[MrSlayer]

59. Perfume and Cologne

God I hate that stuff, especially people who wear way too much of it. I'd rather smell excrement.

[Sugarbleus]

57. B.O. and Hospitals n/t

[freesqueeze]

60. The Dentist Office

Smells like pain.

[Bertha Venation]

61. newly laid cat poop

one litter box is here in the office . . . not every cat covers up . . .

[LWolf]

65. A comprehensive list.

I remember all of those unpleasant smells. I have to say though, that I'd trade no-smell for anything on the list. It's been 2 1/2 years since I was able to smell anything at all. A benefit when faced with the things on this list; a plague when people around you gush about how great something smells.

About a year and a half ago i was cleaning out an old stall, uninhabited for a decade; I couldn't smell what I was inhaling, moldy straw and pigeon droppings, and found myself outside on all fours, throwing up and almost passed out, before I realized I should have been wearing a mask.

[Booberdawg]

66. baby shit

[Lydia Leftcoast]

67. The metallic smell of large amounts of blood

During my temp days, I spent one day working at a hospital laundry. The sheets and clothing covered with shit, piss, and vomit were easier to take than I anticipated, but the sheets and scrubs soaked in blood were almost unbearable.

I disagree with those who like the smell of paper mills. We used to cross the Canadian border at International Falls, MN/Fort Frances, Ontario, and sometimes the smell from the paper mills was so bad that it literally made us cough.

[nayt]

70. soy

the smell made by that ADM plant in decatur. i think they're processing soy or something. i can't take it.

[wanderingbear]

71. Air polution..

[Liberal Christian]

75. Paper mills n/t

[Logansquare]

[cosmicdot]

77. tallow plant emission

[ChoralScholar]

78. the smell of something electronic that has shorted out

a very sad smell.. usually means lots of money.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

79. BAD BREATH...

If you haven't brushed your teeth in a while, go right now, into the bathroom and brush...please, for the love of God. I have this hypersensitve nose thing, and it just makes me wanna vomit when I smell bad breath. And it's not just like when I'm close...I can smell it from FEET away.
