Posted - 07/09/2005 : 12:42:25 It's a bit similar to Kathryn's thread, but this is all about the scent. I was running today and got the overwhelming whiff of wet dog, which I hate. I really, really, really loathe the smell of mushrooms frying. The smell of maggots is pretty revolting too.
I may think of a few more in a minute, but what smells can't you stand?

Posted - 08/12/2005 : 17:55:41 I've cleaned out fridges full of rotten meat and dairy products, plus I've been a Care Assistant on many wards and institutions, so I think I've inhaled most of the foul odours this world has to offer.

Posted - 07/11/2005 : 11:09:17 You know the smell that you would think would be bad, the cauterising of human tissue, actually not that bad, gives me terrible bacon cravings.
and you're questioning the sciences and questioning religion you're looking like an idiot and you no longer care.

Posted - 07/11/2005 : 08:56:15 Vomit, yes...especially vomit involving Italian food, or any vomit containing any form of tomato. I agree with eggs as well. A horrendous scent is also the stench of frying spoiled bacon. Once as a child my mother started frying bacon that had gone bad. She quickly stopped, but the smell hung like a cloud for hours in the house.

Posted - 07/11/2005 : 01:29:24 Chicken shit/chicken death.
Forrest Gump said "life is like a box of chocolates" but i guess he didn't know about battery chickens (or maybe he was eating some crazy chocolates) but the life of a battery chicken is unvaried, short and not very sweet.
I worked on a chicken farm in a kibbutz in Israel. The (battery) chickens were suspended 12 feet above the ground in cages and, inevitably over a short space of time huge columns of chicken shit would grow up from the ground below forming trenches.
Every other day you'd find a newly deceased chicken - i can only think it was suicide given the smell that originated from those pens.
Anyway, the stench of chicken shit/chicken death was appalling. The two smells combined to form this sickly sweet aroma that I won't forget for a very long time.

Meat tastes like murder and murder tastes pretty damn good... kidding.
But I swear the grossest smell ever, I mean ever, was when my deepfreeze in the garage became unplugged in the summer and I cleaned it out after a week. I think I know what a dead body smells like.

Posted - 07/10/2005 : 17:17:24 Paper factories stink. I hate the smell of dead animals in the road. My brother rented a beach house 2 weeks ago where a rat had died in the wall and they had to move to another house that first day it was so bad.

Those are mostly gone, but they were never as bad as the mushroom farm. I don't think it has always been a mushroom farm, it's in an old elevator marked grain and feed but the area has always been horrible. But then I've never lived near a tannery.
There was a tannery a few miles from us when I was a teenager. The bus took us past it every day when we went to school, and it stank of rotten eggs. Horrible.

Posted - 07/10/2005 : 14:05:12 Thanks to my chronic sinusitis I have almost no sense of smell. The only odor that has ever managed to make me sick is the horrible stench of a wet dog I had to breathe for miles in an overheated car. I was 8 or 9 years old then, and I still hate dogs today.

There is a certain place where in years gone by there was an apartment directly above a candy factory, sweet! But across the street from a fish processor, and if the wind was blowing just right... |
