Rank the most terrible smells

[RishiRich]

See what I did there? ;)

1. Accidentally cracking a rotten egg. Actually gagged at this one.

2. The bag of duck weed I got through the post this morning. I can still smell it.

3. Removing a forgotten mooncup.

Dead and rotting body parts that are still attached.

The last smell that made me gag was from a friend who had not washed or changed clothing for a very long time.

Yes to dead badgers and tonsil stones. Also milky tea.

In no particular order

Vomit
Cigarette smoke
Bad breath
Bin disposal trucks (ditto portable loos)
Cooking onions/salmon/lamb
BO
Clothes that haven't been properly dried and have that musty smell
Poo
"Off" raw chicken
Dead mouse (personal experience - not envy)

Agree with PP's about anal glands of dogs

Thankfully I've never had the pleasure of smelling tonsil stones, but have heard it's pretty rancid

The farts I did yesterday after eating an Aldi peri-peri fake chicken fillet from their PlantMenu range. It was inhuman.

Rotten Brazil nut, it was almost liquified inside and got all over my hands and I couldn't get rid of the rancid smell for ages

Faecal vomit is pretty bad

Bile

@AnotherVice
I concur

The old city of Jerusalem 🤢

@lightand ...Pooh yes...my Dad used to keep chickens and it was mine and my sister's job to clean them out....I can still smell it now 🤣

Oh I don’t know, you get used to it ! Work in one 🥳

My ex once bought a Rustler burger. When he microwaved it it smelled like someone had done a massive shit in the microwave. Absolutely gross. God knows why he bought one anyway, microwave burgers, wtf?

In no particular order..
Punctured cat food pouch. Had to air the entire house.
Body dead for three weeks in a small flat in summer.
Drilled tooth with abcess in it.
Excretions from Shield bugs which you can not get off your hands.
Probably the worst:
Pig slurry lagoon which was topped up with a tanker containing gone off ice cream while I was there. Had to immediately shower and wash all my clothing as it smelt of gone off vomit/pig shit.

Yankee candles
Any Air "fresheners"

Fray bentos tinned pies

Some intact male ferrets

Cooking rabbit

@MammaWeasel my OH used to work in the factory that made the Fray Bentos pies - he said if you'd seen them made, you'd never eat them.

I second cooking rabbit. My dad used to cook them for our dogs to eat but was only allowed to do it on a stove out in the shed. One day he'd had one too many, set the pan of rabbit on and forgot about it. Luckily the shed didn't burn down but the small of burnt rabbit was 10 times worse! 😅

The chickens innards that Tesco left intact and I accidentally perforated. I couldn’t get the smell out of my nostrils for years. Nothing is worse.

A feed lot (for beef cattle) in eastern Colorado. Smelled it for miles.

The smell was rancid...I can't describe it...hair grease,bad breath,skin sores or unwashed arse? ...poor guy
@LetsGoCrazyPurpleBanana
I stood behind someone smelling like this in the checkout line at my local Aldi one day, but discreetly joined another line after I had inhaled all I could take. The second line had fifteen shoppers in it so I had a while to wait. The manager let the cashier take her break as soon as the man left, and she rushed to the bathroom. They jammed the doors open to let in some fresh air. Never smelled anyone like that before or since. I hope and pray he got the help he so badly needed.

dog rolled in fox poo

Neem oil - absolutely vile. I don't understand how it can be used in skincare. I can't even describe the smell but a million times worse that burnt rubber.
