[Closed] Worst smell in the world.....

Favourite : Ass
Least Favourite: Arse

I have now coffee'd my keyboard.

Quality line.

I'm with you on the Subway front. What's with that?

As for other smells, however, I think used nappies in nappy bags that have sat for too long near in a bin near the radiator represent probably the sickest, most repulsive smell ever known.

Do I win a prize?

Least favourite:
Liver. Specifically, old liver. I used to be a forensic toxicologist, and we had to analyse samples for coroner's reports. Depending on the condition of the deceased, it could be blood, urine or tissue. Remnants of liver from some poor old dear who died in bed with the electric blanket on and wasn't found for a week or so. I still feel ill at the thought of it, 10 years after the event.

Most favourite:
I grew up downwind of both the Fletcher's bakery and Bass brewery in Sheffield. The smell of hops and fresh bread combined is one of nature's wonders.

Cycling past fields that have just been 'treated' with I am guessing silage or cow poo is pretty grim. Was nearly retching on my Monday evening ride.

I worked at a petfood manufacturer for 6 months and the smell of that place took some beating!

Fresh cut grass is a pretty good smell, as is a Sunday roast cooking as you go past.......ooooh, and fish & chips, with lots of vinegar.....and that beery pub smell.....

I first had subway in America and thought blimey this is good you get loads of filling and it was cheap, they had an 'offer' in the window of 'Lunch for £4.99' if you go round the corner to Wetherspoons you can have lunch and a pint for that...

not that I'm condoning lunchtime drinking kids....

The roast chicken's from supermarkets smell of farts. Don't know why people think they're appetising.

I like the smell of soil after a heavy rainfall on a hot day.

Worst smell is liver or kidney.

Favourite is creosote or freshly laid tarmac.

Subway have achieved something truly momentous. They have made bread smell bad. How is that possible? I used to cycle past the Barbakan Polish Bakery every morning. I was like a Bisto kid. The smell was unreal. Gorgeous!!!! Anyway....

Worst: Spray Mount
Best Hot Castrol R

Thought the Subway smell was a manufactured addictive one, a bit like whatever Pringles put on their Pringles, or the signature smell that 3M use. I'm sure they must use some kind of smell dispersal. Nothing like any other bread/bakery that I've come across.

grass

freshly cut grass

Oooooh yeah Pieface greenspaces after its rained YUM!!

Wrong answer Binners........ 👿 rethink your favourite......

not that I'm condoning lunchtime drinking kids....

To late, I'm off down the pub. I hope you're happy now.

Worst: Aptimil follow on milk.
Best: 2 stroke exhaust smoke.

I'm with Binners

Best: Burned Castrol R
Worst: Airwick Spicy plugins

Worst - dog egg that's been redistributed over me by my tyres

Hello!

Favourite: The smell of a recently unwashed woman (so yeah ass)

Un-favourite: Vinegary chippies.

An anathema(?) to freshly cut grass is a pile of cut grass that has been left undisturbed and kept moist through a summer.

Well... I'll have a think and let you know. Actually... it may be saggy old cloth cat. Any-road-up.....

'Lunch for £4.99'

Weatherspoons? Dear god woman! Have I taught you nothing? Large chicken tikka kebab from Hunters Barby, then next door for a pint of Star in Odd 🙄

Cycling past fields that have just been 'treated' with I am guessing silage or cow poo is pretty grim. Was nearly retching on my Monday evening ride.

The cow stuff is quite ok, it's the chicken & pig farms that get me wretching... (maybe that's just me though as I see a cow farm out of the lounge window)

as for best: the spit roast chicken & ribs vans we have over here (Belg) are pretty awesome (my vegetarian sister would likely disagree).

fermented Baltic herring. end of conversation. I had to leave the building not just the room. Almost threw up me lunch.

Weatherspoons? Dear god woman! Have I taught you nothing? Large chicken tikka kebab from Hunters Barby, then next door for a pint of Star in Odd

Yes but that's NOT £4.99 is it the Star alone costs that

Hey there's nothing wrong with the picture house ok so everyone smells of mothballs and it takes 4 hours to get served but its cheap!

I hate the smell of rain in the summer on warm dry dust tarmac pavement.

Love the smell of a slow cooked casserole in a warm house when getting in from the cold.

Worst: Ethanethiol.

They put it in gas so you can smell it. They dilute it heavily.

I had to move a bottle of the pure stuff between fume cupboards. Everyone else left the lab. I threw up.

Best: That smell that scaletrix cars give off if you hold them in place and rev the tits out of them

You could do a large donnar for £3.50, then a can of Special Brew though

I should think this wiffs a bit

worst - dog poo on the bottom of my shoe.
best - the smell of napalm in the morning.

OMG That canned chicken looks disgusting!!! 😯

Best - Wild garlic in the woods after heavy rain.

Worst - Dog egg splattered up on your gloves.

Agree about Subway - revolting smell.

But the worst for me is baby sick.

Best smell - Christmas Day

[i]recently unwashed woman[/i]

Do you mean what I think you mean?

Worst: is between 1. My dog's shit and 2. my dog's farts. closely followed by Subway. oh, and the lorry full of landfill my brother and I got stuck behind the other day. We were both gagging like crazy!!

Favourite: freshly opened Post-Its. or freshly washed women's hair.

I love the smell of Subway.

You can indeed get Wetherspoons and many other meals for five pounds or less. Doesn't mean I necessarily want them though.

I quite like the smell of nicely rotted cow poo on fields - lots of that round here now, smells wonderfully earthy and agricultural.. some great smells around. Also some vile ones too, some people are using what smells like bone meal and some what smells like human poo 🙁

Worst - dog poo
Best - dunno. Mrs Grips I think 🙂

I have it on Good Authority that Binners don't smell too good after a night out on the lash followed by a large doner with extra chilli sauce...

What? Hora told me...

Worst - how about the maggot farm on moor bottom road, you may get a waft of that tommorrow on your ride.sorry can't make it by the way I'll be away in derbyshire.

best - fresh bread .

A pathology specimen of bowel tissue that's been stuck in the post for 7 days at room temperature......

...even worse, 48 of the above which arrive just after your Friday pub luinchtime and have to be processed before you can go home 😥

I can vouch for that..... I do like it after a ride when he smells all outdoorsy and rugged though TMI I know sorry....

Worst: Following a lorry full of bits of animal, sloshing around in their juices, transporting them from the abbattoir to the glue factory on a hot day. Or your Mother-in-Law's farts.

Best: Your own farts.

Worst... the maggot farm / mafia body disposal plant above Crowthorn, Edgeworth. Truly stomach turning.

Best... Freshly pulled pint of Bank Top Flat Cap!

😳 sorry I dropped one off this morning.... literally....hope you don't get mine 😳

Worst: Meat that's been rotting for quite a while

Best: New rubber, bottle that smell and I'd probably end up suffocating.

Ha, maggot farm smell just about the same as rendering plants and they are marginally better than pet food factories but only just.

The sweet smell of spring in the air at the moment. Well that or GT85.

The smell of someone who has been dead for a few weeks with the heating full on and doors and windows locked.

*worries about Woody* 😯

worst: london
best: the forest as the sun heats it up after a quick warm summer shower then arriving home and walking in to a house filled with the smell of a slow roasted chicken

I can vouch for that..... I do like it after a ride when he smells all outdoorsy and rugged though TMI I know sorry....

😯

😥

Mummy I'm frightened and I don't feel very well....

*worries someone's just discovered Hora's corpse*

*goes to Phil's house for dinner*

The smell of someone who has been dead for a few weeks with the heating full on and doors and windows locked.

Why the hell have you got the heating on? It's 16'C outside.

Worst Old cars that have been smoked in. Bleeeurh

Best. Newly unfurling ferns. Or post " you know" skin.

mmmmmmmmmm ferns! emsz... dammit as long as you promise not to steal mrsconsequence from me you're more than welcome to join yeti, myself and the rest of the best on a ride

Worst: the smell in the morning of last nights beer and takeaway slowly rotting in the kitchen
Best: the smell of last nights beer and takeaway

Best: pine-woods, the sea, peat(not him), parma violets, toast on a campsite, fish supper at the Real food cafe after a long day in the hills. Summer rain.

Worst: Norfolk

Some seem like best and worst at the same time. The Edinburgh brewery smell does this for me.

Actually, the worst is halitosis.

Worst - New car smell, makes me feel sick

Best - summer rain, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Best; the smell of baking & fresh bread

Worst; dog poo, it just makes me gag!

DMSO

Horrible, horrible stuff...

Worst: rotting shellfish

Best: wild garlic in the woods

Best smell - Castrol R - speedway bikes, 2-strokes running it - absolutely fabulous smell.

👿
Worst...A wet Labrador that has just rolled in fox pooh

😀
Best.... Jet engine exhaust gases

Best: spicy food, bacon sandwiches, sausages off a barbecue, creosote
Worst: the Lush soap/ toiletries shop, donut stands, poo, chicken bits that have been in a warm bin for a week

worst smells- In vessel composting systems, autoclaving municipal solid waste, clinical waste treatments that aren't working very well and dimethyl formamide

good smells- leather, that lovely grass smell after rain, pine forests up mountains

A tramp once took his shoes and socks off on a tube train which made the entire carriage evacuate at the next stop gagging and choking.

It was truly awful, a smell so bad that human instict told you to run for your life, no exageration.

He just sat there chuckling to himself

fave smell = well grown, sweet-smelling, funky skunky smelly weed sh1t.

I once had to paint a guy with DMSO,neither of us enjoyed it much,but worst is a man who has been in the local reservoir for 6 weeks,about 10 mins after they start the PM.
Ian

Worst: dead/rotting animal.
Best: nice vagina.

Favorite - Bleach or hyporchlorite
Least Fav - Rotten banana skins

WORST: the smell that emerges when you accidentally cut open a rabbit's stomach when gutting it. Can't describe it but it fills your eyes, ears, nose and writes off your other senses in a split second.

BEST: that melange of curry and garlic nann wafting down the street near the local takeaways.

3 fish - could you be any more explicit?

Best: Petrichor
Worst: The smell of donuts in liverpool city centre. They used to smell great until I ate one, and nearly vomited back up the spoonfulls of old oil used to cook them.

3 fish - could you be any more explicit?

Is that a rhetorical question?

The fishing crew who drowned and stayed down for a couple of weeks until their fermented digestive gasses made them bob to the surface. The crew (and attached sea creature infestations) were all taken to the same mortuary. They literally fell apart on being disrobed, toes coming off with socks etc. The place stank for weeks afterwards and was later closed. Still gives me the boak years later.

Quite like the subtle blend of coffee and GT85 wafting from Wheelcraft.

Meat rendering plant in exeter by the playing field, was gagging for the 200 metres before and after it 🙁
Best smell: Roasted coffee or GT85.

worst: burning bakelite.. especially when you're not burning any bakelite.. very unnerving..
best: burning MDMA

Dead Badger,after about a week or so,Makes me urge and i have a very strong stomach

worst: the wife's feet.
best: the beach (probably cos the water is covering the wife's feet)

At the moment it's the smell of my friend's ecu frying. He insisted on driving down to pick up a curry rather than walk for 5 minutes. Went to come back and everything is flashing and firing intermittently and the distinct smell of components melting, and that's not a nice smell.

So the cars still outside the curry house.

Best smell, well the curry is pretty good.

Worst either the mass grave we found in Bosnia or the dead animal I ended up mixed with as I dived to the floor during a section attack

Best two stroke motorbikes

Worst: Veet hair removal cream as its doing its thing *Gag*

Best: Tough one, well vinegared chips (that conflicts with someone on the page before) fresh coffee. Can't seem to think of anything not food related 🙂

So many great smells....freshly cut grass, rain, the sea (although I often frequent Bempton Cliffs and that doesn't smell so good!), fresh baking, used to love the smell of tarmac being laid as a kid, coal fires and getting the Christmas decorations out. There was a peculiar sweet smell to them, a smell that I've never come close to anywhere else. I'm vegan but must confess that the smell of a dirty burger van gets me drooling.

Can cope with the smell of silage and other farmyard smells, mowing cat sh*t and treading in dog eggs is not good but and the bogs at work are pretty bad as they're on mascerators instead of standard plumbing but the worst smell I ever encountered was when a guy at work dropped his bat and the ensuing fall out cleared a large part of the mess room, people were leaving rather than endure it, and those that walked into it were beaten back by the pungent fug. It was still rank about five minutes after it was unleashed. All the while the perpetrator was stood by the water cooler looking reet pleased with himself. Made your eyes sting.
