Television is the retina
of the mind's eye.
Had an old woman enter a movie theater (Finding Nemo). She smelled of such concentrated piss that I could smell it from 50 feet away. People groaned when she came near. I walked in the trail she had left behind minutes earlier and it was like she was still standing there. (I had gone to talk to the staff. Sorry, old lady for being one of the people that got you ejected, but it had to be done.)

Also, I once drove by the Farmer John slaughterhouse in Vernon, CA. That smell of blood and death is uncanny and sets your hairs on end before you even rationally identify what you are smelling. It's like primitive caveman instincts that warn you not to look for a home in THAT cave.

Water used to clean off industrial equipment that processes fish, that has been set aside in an old 2 liter coke bottle for several days. When you open it, it explodes all over your chest and legs.

I remember in my first place I had bought a big bag of potatoes but forgot about them in the lower cupboard for about 3 weeks. Usually, potatoes are ok when they're cool but my apartment was like a loving sauna during the summer. I was at my sink and I was smelling something gross and I didn't know what it was, looked over at the cupboard and opened it. A bunch of putrefied potatoes poured out from the bag onto the floor. The stench was so strong that I puked right then and there.

Took me a while 'cause even through a rag held over my nose, trying not to puke while cleaning up potato goop and my own vomit was loving drat near impossible.

I once had to oversee an environmental remediation which involved cleaning and removing a 1,000-gallon underground grease trap at an abandoned bologna/lunch meat factory. I couldn't get within 50' of the thing without gagging. The poor guy who had to get in there to clean it was probably scarred for life.

Rotting, fermenting, oozing bologna production grease.

I think it's really interesting how the smell of a rotting body, animal or otherwise, makes your primal brain put up red flags, even if you've never smelled it before. It's encoded in us and I think that's cool.

Yeah, I was once advised not to use a certain stairwell at work because there was a dead mouse stinking it up. It was more convenient and I thought, "How bad could it be?" I walk in, am fine for 2 seconds and then it's like, nope, cannot be here.

Like a decade ago I went to the house of a friend of my ex's and no one warned me before we got there that the dude had 3 ferrets and 9 cats. He opened his front door and the smell was bracing. I think I managed to not pull a face and pretend everything was cool, so it obviously wasn't the worst smell in the world, but it wasn't great!!

For a long time I thought it was fish that was left on plates and stuffed into warmer/plate holding boxes and forgotten about for who knows how many months or years. When we cracked open those bad boys the entire back of the house was the same smell of death you might briefly smell at a funeral home or retirement home for hours.

No, the worst smell in the world is cleaning up a hoarder house of a hoarder that gave up and just pissed and shat wherever, or stored it and let it ferment and explode all over.
I'm not the cleanest person in the world but just thinking about it makes me start tidying up and doing a deep clean.

one time during spring, when it was just starting to crest 90° and get real humid, my ex had three cookouts in a row in which she stood for hours in front of a hot grill in this weather. also she hated showering because she felt like it was a waste of time. at the end of the third day, she wanted me to do her doggy style and, shortly after I went in, the smell coming off her gooch was so overpoweringly vile it instantly withered every sexual impulse in my entire body for a week, and I had to make up an excuse to try and avoid ruining the moment. later she got pissed at me for saying she needed to shower. relationships! :thumbsup:

Is this because the lower GI bleed involves necrotic tissue or something? I'm trying to understand what exactly about bleeding from that particular area makes it smell so particularly horrible. I mean, worse than either blood or high-sulfur feces by themselves.

My best guess is the oxygenated blood mixing with all the bacteria and feces in the lower GI tract like hypergolic rocket fuel of stank.

I work in a hospital and I've smelt some pretty foul poo poo in my days, but my strongest memory surrounding bad smells stems from the brother of someone who used to frequent my social circle back in the day. He was a swarthy, greasy, goony motherfucker who must've had some disorder going on that made his body odor absolutely loving foul (in addition to lackluster hygiene/dietary practices). The dude used to work at a local pizza point, and he would regularly make himself pizzas there that had every conceivable topping you could imagine on it, including heaps of garlic and anchovies; he would eat a large one on his own every time we got together for a LAN party or D&D and would literally lick the grease off his plate. I used to burn incense next to me and would place a fan facing in his direction in a futile attempt to divert the odor - his BO seemed to overpower even the strongest of competing scents. My apartment would inevitably smell like absolute dog poo poo for days after he'd come by. It was so bad that, at one party a buddy of mine had thrown, every guest at some point came up to him to complain about the smell so we took him out back and hosed him down with body spray (which didn't help).

I don't know how we tolerated that poo poo, but he was genuinely a nice guy and was always deeply apologetic about his body odor. Apparently he took the hint (i.e. explicit suggestions) and improved his hygiene practices at some point, but even that wasn't enough to stop him from making your eyes water or your gag reflex kick in. I can only describe his smell as a pungent marriage between rotten fish and spicy diarrhea.

I used to be a student garbageman and our uni had a food waste collection program. All the food waste would be taken to this modified roll off bin that was rigged with a pump to suck all the juices out. We'd have to operator the pump and fill a barrel with the liquids. The smell was so nasty and powerful, and just a little bit getting on you would stink for the rest of the day. It was pretty greasy and hard to clean as well.

The barrel full of liquid? We'd just dump it in the woods that tje campus owned
