Dear gods, that was the worst smell I’ve ever smelt.

[OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow]

Got some chalk paint. Shook it. Dd opened it, the lid popped off and the room was filled with the scent of death. Well, death if it rolled in slurry. (Apparently it can go off-what an understatement!)
Anything else you can think of that’s unexpectedly stinky?

A tin of tuna that had been pierced by mistake and left. Mu husband opened it and good god the smell

a dead mouse that had maggots,

I won’t lie I retched bad both times.

My cat's abscess on his backside burst on the way to the vet's. Being a cat basket refuser, he was lounging on the parcel shelf of the car at the time (needs must), and he managed to wipe his arse all over the back window and get the pus all over the parcel shelf.

We never did get rid of the smell out of that car.

What??!!!!!!😱😱😱

The anal glands of an incontinent geriatric cat.

Ddog after rolling in both fox and a pigeon carcass on the same walk. Despite several several baths ghosts of the smell wafted from him for days…
Ddog had a smug little git face on too

Rotton potatoes are unbelievably stinky!

The worst was my DH's breath when he had dry socket after a tooth extraction though. It smelt like something had died in his mouth. We had to sleep in separate rooms for a few nights...

Many years ago we had our son christened at the church. There was an absolutely vile smell throughout the service which was like smelly feet only far, far worse. Found out a few weeks later that the vicar had gangrene in his foot and had to have it amputated. It must have been already pretty infected at the christening. It must have been extremely unpleasant for him.

Buffalo Bill?

One of my housemates in 1st year of uni had the attic, she went home for easter and asked if I could send a photo of the timetable she left on her desk.
As soon as I unlocked the door i unleashed the most ungodly stink, I could feel it in the back of my eyeballs.
She had left a watepaper bin full of used menstrual products in the corner and a massive 10 litre tupperware of what I think had been potato salad.
I wasn't expecting the room to smell at all and it honestly smelt like she had kept a couple corpses up there

Gone off pork chops was pretty grim.

DD once left an uneaten satsuma in her school bag and put the bag in the bottom of her wardrobe, where it stayed for the entirety of the school summer holidays.

We eventually found that the smell in her bedroom was emanating from this shrivelled blue furry golf ball-sized lump when she got her bag out the night before the start of the September term.

My Guinea pig had an eye removed due to an abscess and it absolutely stank to high heaven whilst it was healing afterwards. We had to bathe it daily 3 times a day (the wound) and every time I took her out of the indoor cage we have (3 others for company) both Ds and I actually gagged it was so awful. She’s now completely healed thank goodness!

Rotting peanut butter is utterly repulsive. But the worst smell in the entire world is the smell of a tonsil stone....

As a student nurse many years ago I realised on doing a spell with a district nurse I was totally unsuited because some of the dressing changes involved actually made me heave , gave me a lot of respect though for those who can do this on a regular basis for strangers.

I volunteered in a third world country a few years ago. I somehow ended up being volunteered to clean them when the kids broke up for the long summer break.

Those drop toilets had not been dug deep enough.. one volunteer dropped her (expensive) camera and a local scooped it out for her (pretty quickly!) as it landed on a “clump” of paper and wipes. That camera smelt like a frickin dead animal and you should have seen the maggots wriggling out of it!

👆This! Once experienced, never forgotten 😫. Just rank.

Empty clean looking jars. Inside smelled like farts and sweaty arse crack. I can’t relate the smell to any kind of foodstuff.

Rotten egg!

There was delightful aroma of dog shit in the kitchen one summer many gears ago when I still lived with my mum and step-dad. It had been there a few days but no-one else could smell it and I couldn't work out where it was coming from.

One day, I was washing up and saw a stew pot on the cooker so decided to see if it needed washing. I took the lid off and the stench of two-week-old, rotting stew hit me like a punch in the face and nearly threw up.

I took it to my step-dad and he took the biggest sniff and said, "Yes, it's off," before putting it in the bin. I told that story at his funeral and my sister laughed and said she was surprised he didn't cook it!

I've learned to like the taste of durian (Malaysian DH) but I generally have a couple of pieces and then the smell drives me away.

I think it smells like backed-up drains but DH thinks it just smells like durian, neither pleasant nor unpleasant.

Burst cat food pouch that had leaked inside the box, car absolutely reeked and I felt really nauseous on the drive home.

Dog found a dead cod on the beach and rolled in it before I could stop him. Another drive home with the window open to avoid throwing up.

The smell of dying flesh. That smell will never leave me

🤣🤣🤣

This thread has me in fits

At home I dropped an exante diet shake. It smelt like a rotting corpse. I had to change the carpet. The smell could not be got rid of by steamer or carpet cleaner
At work....gangrene. it stays with you for weeks.
