Seriously, if you could imagine being bolted up in a chamber with the fumes being pumped into it, what would be the WORST smell you could imagine?

Anything the co-worker one cubicle over brings for lunch.

Infected wounds.

Dead body

Latex

stagnant water?

Sweaty sneakers that have been forgettin in a bag for a week.

cadaverine and putrescine.

the smell of scramble eggs

Especially if it's burnt microwave popcorn.

Bag o' chemicals...

One of the worst smells i've ever experienced was the smell of the nursing home my Grandad used to live at. It just hit you when you walked in. It was a nice place - and clean, but it just stank.

...kinda like gone-off milk and poo and steamed cabbage and wee.

My son actually cried over it once - he didn't want to go in because of the smell.

My grandad died in June (maybe because of the smell), so we haven't had to go there. I can still smell it when I think about it though.

yessssss...

the worse smell is one that changes, because a person can get used to one particular smell. Its like getting used to the smell of boiled onions or rancid brocolli

but if you introduce the nose to a new bad smell evry few moments then its a medley of gross that keeps the body on cringe

I hate many smells

the smell of vomit

the smell of roaches

the smell of cat urine/feces

the smell of rancid onion

the smell of a paper mill

the smell of a death

the smell of sulfur burning- any chemical smell that has been in extreme heat

the smell of ammonia that comes from an unwashed filthy human

all gross to me... and microwave popcorn smells like piss to me.

These all make me dry heave!

Lilacs

Seafood

Cooked broccoli

Canned mushrooms

Patchouli

Adult human puke, B.O. and shit.

I don't know if it is what we eat but we are some foul smelling creatures. A cow shits a lot and rarely showers is not nearly as smelly as a human.

You assuming I smell ALL that crap on a daily basis???

I had the pleasure of some of those lovely smells while traveling down rt 95S through several states...like the papermill

the amonia would be from a homeless dude that you could smell 3 city blocks away (poor guy)..

I grew up in a roach infested apartment as a kid (asthma! )

the sulfur was an expirement gone wrong in chemistry... ah the memories

The smell of death was finging a decapitated week old human body were punkmistress used to hang out as a teen... she's crazy.

^^^^^^ those smells were so bad I will never forget them.

If I lived next to a landfill I wouldn't smell all that crap!

I work in a building that has two computer companies mainly full of 20 somethings and managers in their early 30s, and they subscribe to the lets bring in the 3 day old stir fry in the 30 year old Tupperware container with ingrained smells. They never clean up after themselves, they make microwave popcorn that stinks the building out. You have to hold a gun at their heads to make them do dihes, why because they are used to having their mothers or girlfriends run around after them.

Also the what I call Pastellarella smells (Any instant microwave pasta dish) that has lots of cheese of garlic like Lasagna, they never eat it in one go and sometimes miss the bin. Compounding this theres a company upstairs that drinks and smokes all the time. (Virtually everyone smokes)

So Chinese food smells

Pasta food smells

Microwave popcorn

Unwashed People

Indian curry smell

Ciggarette Butt smells

Pizza box smells

Those are a few of my favourite things.

Right now I can smell cut grass somewhere wafting through my window...

Don't get me started either, I drive with my windows up and the air con on because once I drove over an area where there was some dead animal and the smell came right into the car... that's what compelled me to keep my windows up.

Whenever I see/smell a dead animal on the road, I never walk by the same spot ever again, I always go arooouuund it (even when it's long gone).

When I go into a public bathroom, I've trained myself too unconsciously breathe through my mouth and not through my nose...

After I eat, I try to not go places where there may be something stinky, cause I know I'll heave.

<-- (Yes, I have smell-o-phobias.)

I dont even wanna know how you know this!!

I'm getting out of this thread, just reading it is making me nauseous.

On the vein of unwashed old folks, ..the crustified toecheese that lurks beneath the overgrown toenails of unwashed old people gives off a pretty pungent odour.

My filthy bastard of an ex-flatmate once left a shopping bag with a half tin of spam and large carton of out of date milk hanging on the door outside our balcony. This remained here for over 2 weeks in the summer sun while we were both away. On my return, when i opened the bag i was hit with the most unholy smell i had ever experienced, not to mention the sight of maggots lining the bag.

Festival toilets are an assault to the nostrils also. Fucking rancid!
