I was scanning some posts and saw Best Smells, and it made me think of smells that I can not stand. I apologize if this has been done, I tried a search but it kept coming back the QL User Groups main page.
I think the worst smells are HOSPITALS, they have that sick person smell that makes you want to throw up upon entry; LOBSTER BAIT, especially after it's been sitting for a week, rotting ~ walk by the bait shed and it just about floors you; POOPY DIAPERS, any parent can relate I am sure; ANY SEAFOOD, particularly scallops, clams, crab, lobster ~ it's fine until it's cooking, I hate the smell, I hate the taste and it lingers in the air of the house after it's been cooked. ; and, COOKED SQUASH, YUCK I think squash is disgusting, the consistency makes me gag and the flavor tastes just like the smell: GROSS

Burned hair. And burned hair itself isn't so bad. But burned NOSTRIL hair is the worst. I passed a lighter under my nose once (don't ask) and accidentally inhaled. I felt a burning sensaetion, followed by a few straight days of burned-hair-smell.

Ok, I won't ask, but that was one I've never heard of before!
Worst smell? Camper my dog once tangled with a skunk out in the woods. Whats worse yet is that when he came out of the brush, he went between my legs and shared his grief! Say good-bye to that pair of jeans,....lol.

Have you ever smelled dirty plant water - like when you empty a vase after all the flowers have died? How can it be that flowers with such a sweet scent can produce such rancid water???
.. the way we react to a smell reflects our past experiences of that smell – good or bad. the world worst smell is porta potty at outdoor function during this summer months. Let me mention few: (1) A combination of sweaty feet and socks - yuckky and sticky!! (2) That horrible, sickly orange smell – urgh! (3) A rotten potato- worst smell- all over in your kitchen and if you smell it stays in your head for long time!!!
...Last but not atleast worst odors: English Leather cologne. Just kidding, actually it’s Old Spice.

The worst smell I ever experienced was when we first got my dog from the Humane Society. He puked in the car on the way home. We did not realize he had puked, and we left the car sit in the sun all day. The next day I opened the car door to go to work and "OH MY GOD!!"
The second worst smell on my list, when you come home from being gone all day, and one of your fish have died. They stick to the filter and the stench...oh the stench fills the whole house!!

Scallop shells/guts rotting in the sun in my driveway ALL last summer {hubby went scalloping and brought home the shells and remains and threw them in the driveway to "keep the dirt down and hear people coming up the driveway." BONEHEAD}
Pig poop/slop; my neighbor had two pigs he raised a few years ago, and the pen bordered the property through some trees, but MAN when the wind blew right...

Spilled sour milk. Not just a little sour, sour to the point that it's a solid, then has started to separate... (found the glass in his office when it was solid, put it in the kitchen... then tonight it got knock over. The whole place smells.

Our husbands have something in common...guess who's milk I found?
They say don't cry over spilled milk...this smell will make you cry.

A forest glade lay empty; I watched it from the wood, But then it was invaded, I saw from where I stood. Into it came a skunk with all her little kittens, And then, in slunk a lynx, his feet, they looked like mittens. But underneath those velvet paws Lay ten small sabers hidden, And just behind those furry jowls Were weapons to be bidden. But Mrs. Skunk was unafraid, She held her banner high, Until a stream of awful stench escaped her body with a sigh.

One day last week there was a dead rabbit on the road. I went and picked up and threw it in one of our two outdoor garbage containers so our dog would not be chewing on the rabbit. Well it had been three days and I had forgotten about the dead rabbit. When I went to deposite another indoor garbage bag into the outdoor container I got a rank whiff of dead rabbit. SHEW-WE-DOO-DOO! To make matters worse the inside of the garbage container was covered with maggots. I spent the better part of half an hour cleaning up that putrid mess. I had to get rubber gloves and haul of the garbage. After that I had to wash out the garbage container and scub it with clorox bleach.
I won't ever do that again. It is just another example of "Do it the hard way or don't do it at all!" If I find another dead animal on the road I will just build a fire and burn it.

Yesterday I drove my ATV down to our lake to check the fish feeder. There was something awful screwy going on. The first thing I noticed was this foul odor that smelled like something had died and rotted. The second thing that I noticed was that the top of the fish feeder was white. The fish feeder is a dark green metal box that operates on a solar power. I got off my ATV and walked down from the top of the levee and discovered a dead armadillo carcass. It looked like the buzzards had eaten it to the bone. The best that I could figure is that the armadillo got bitten by a cottonmouth snake and then buzzards ate the thing and then took turns sitting on top of my fish feeder and having diarrhea. (The smell would gag a maggot.) This all must have happened while I was gone this past weekend. That fish feeder cost me $725.00 so I decided to clean it up. I had to drive back to the house and fetch some rubber gloves, liquid dish soap, and old rags but I finally got the feeder in ship shape. I took a shovel and scooped up the dead carcass and tossed it into the woods. I pulled the rubber gloves off and tossed them into the 55 gallon barrel that is riddled with bullet holes then burned those gloves along with a load of waste paper.

The worst thing I have ever smelled was a dead Brown Pelican that was half buried in the sand. It was a hot day and the Pelican was quite decomposed. When I pulled the Pelican out of the sand, a group of 7 people who were sun bathing about 15 feet away jumped up and ran off. One of the women threw up in the water. Nasty.
