What is the worst thing you have ever smelt?

[Lazarou]

I can think of two. A pair of my dhs undies that I thought were clean....

Old veg left in the steamer (that I thought had been washed)for a week

Anyone else?

Dead skunks at the side of the road in Canada.

The maggot breeding farm close to where I used to live ... if the wind was in the right direction the stench was awful.

The water treatment plant down the road ... again, if the wind's in the right direction the smell is abysmal.

How about those little lumps that sometimes come up when you cough.......

Oh, Ladyoftheflowers ROFL. What an image that conjures up.

A rotten egg - after I had boiled it

Lazarou, I think I'm going to be sick . Bt I know exactly what you mean. A boy in my class made me smell his once.

contents of chest freezer which had been unplugged with intention to empty said contents straight into bin later that day...about 2 months ago...

landfill site.

all the crap/ rotting stuff is horrid, but in some odd was is also 'normal'

Shit smells nasty , but it is a normal nasty.

Mercatoethanol is utterly vile and wierd at the same time!

ewwww disgusting...

have to add mine though

once visited a house where an elderly person had died. they had a heart attack and had fallen onto an electric heater. the body wasn't found for weeks.

will never ever forget that smell. there are no words to describe it

a rotting rat's corpse. Uber-retch inducing.

one of ds's nappies made me heave once it was so bad

as a student, one of my housemates put left over chicken carcass in the wheelie bin, it was hot and there was no collection due to the bank holiday, it stank and he neighbours complained. it was full of maggots.

i had a lump removed from my breast, the doctor cauterised the wound before stitching it up. i was not expecting to smell my own singeing flesh

The meat rendering plant I had to visit once for work...that was appallingly bad.

I'm afraid that the ultimate worst smell in the world ever is melena (black, bloody shit). Ask any one whose ever worked on a medical ward. It sticks in your nostrils and doesn't leave you for a day or two.

Wet gangrene

Death

Dark green sputum that has been left in a pot by a warm radiator for a couple of days.

The bottom of my mini lakeland composter croc is fairly offensive at times.

the otters at our local aquarium. They stink so much I cannot go there anymore

Oh Oh just remembered, I had a patient once who worked in a pork pie factory applying the aspic to the pies all day. He was aspic boy. I had aspic smell on my fingers after treating him. That was vile.

Would anyone like me to waft myself around a bit?

Any particular flavour:
Patchouli?
Sandalwood?
Jasmine?

CHIPKID [SHOCK]

Is anyone eating their lunch while they are reading this?

Oh yes, and I remebver them smell of my own farts made me vomit once the morning after I had drank 15 bottles of Newcastle Brown. (the thought tuns my estomago now, I can tell you) "

I have tears running down my face from laughing

No one has noticed my sceptic/septic joke.

dead mouse rotting on the heating pipes under the floorboards. Which happened regularly in the (old) building I used to work in... Got quite used to apologising to visiting delegates about it. Uck.

agree with meleana - memory never leave you!
