Worst thing you've ever smelled.

[theogt]

I worked with someone like that. How do you even begin to let them know....

I would answer the question, but it's a family forum.

I was a fireman for 7 years. One time we had a fire that was in an old school bus where this old man lived. He had been a circus clown for the Ringling Brother, Barnum & Bailey Circus. The bus had been his home for a long time.

The bus did not have a bathroom, so he used what was called a thunder mug. It didn't have electricity so he used kerosene lanterns. One night he was sleeping and he kicked over a lantern. The fire spread so fast he was gone in seconds.

I was the first Officer on the scene and took charge. There were flames 2 feet out of each window. When I went in the door of the bus with the hose line the roof of the bus was cherry red.

It basically cooked him. The stuff in the thunder mug too.

The coroner threw up. Every firefighter in our department threw up. I will never forget it. Dead human smells bad enough as it is.

I've been smelling this really bad smell in my garage fridge. I couldn't find what it was, as that fridge really is only used for soda's, beer, extra milk, etc.

But then I found it. In the back of the fridge, I had a tupperware container that I had forgotten about that had about 6 uncooked chicken legs in it.

As I pulled out the container, and then actually opened it, I smelled the absolute worst thing I have ever smelled in my life. If I had an eternity to describe it, I wouldn't be able to do it justice. It was absolutely putrid. I literally gagged nonstop as I threw it away.

My guess is the chicken was in there for 3 maybe 4 weeks. Remember, it was uncooked.

I would venture to say it was the worst smelling thing on planet earth.

Lets hear if you think you've smelled something that can top it.

Yep. Rotten chicken is about as bad as it gets.

BP's drawers after a pot of chili. Thankful that's DE's job now.

So that was worse than your peanut eating road trip?

Now you'll have to post a link to your story. :laugh2:

Best thread ever. I'm in tears laughing at it again.

OT but do you like Kimchee BP? I love it myself.

Could not stand the stuff.

Some concoction used for fraternity hazing. I know it had pimento cheese and sardines, among many other things that I don't think you could possibly identify. It would make you gag immediately.

Hmm, i like Pimento cheese, and sardines, not so much together though.

I killed a hog a few years ago hunting, while gutting it i accidentally cut the stomach lining open, holy crap that was pretty bad. I dont know if really bad smells are mental or what, but i could still smell it hours later.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I'd rather not say. Can tell you though, it's the worst smell I've ever encountered and nothing I'd ever care to relive.

This is not as bad as some of your stories, but I used to run the market dept at Target before they upgraded the coolers. These were the old standalone type not build into the building so they had drip pans underneath. And it was my job to clean them and their drain tubes. Now the only one that was ever bad was the milk.
It had not been my turn to clean them that month, so one night I was closing and I check out the dept and there is a foul oder. I go to check the milk drain pan. It was filled with warm curdled milk(the cooler motor was underneath too) and congealed milk under there. I almost threw up the entire time sticking my head under there to pulling the pan out.

Sounds like the smell of death.
I recall walking to school one day and capturing the smell of a rotting carcass of a dog.
The worst ever.

I can't image anything worse than rotten meat (like the original poster).

Our garage freezer went out a few years ago and it was full of meat. The worst part of it was the turkey that thawed out and exploded in there.

A dirty diaper smells like flowers compared to that.

A surprising # of replies have referenced the human body. Are we really that gross?

 

[Danny White]

I remember when I was in High School and we had a sadistic teacher who made us do an experiment using butyric acid. It is the worst smelling thing I've ever encountered in my life, and it made the entire school stink for about a month. I shudder even today just thinking about it.

When I was about 7, one of my Grandpa's brothers was murdered in his rural ranch home, just outside of New Braunfels TX. His body lay undiscovered for nearly a week, inside, in mid-summer.

My Dad, Grandpa and I drove down the night Grandpa got the call from the DPS. I stayed with a family friend while they went to identify the body, before it was removed from the house and clean up the mess best they could.

Based solely on the smell in their clothes when they came to pick me up that next day, THAT is one odor I'd never want to experience full strength.

Another I got used to after experiencing it several times, is a Louisiana commercial alligator farm "Rearing station", where eggs and juvenile gators are housed after being harvested from the man-made breeding ponds, and reared to slaughter-weight.

These are shotgun shaped, corrugated iron sheds, about 50'-75' long. There are no windows, only two doors, one on either end, that stay closed. A cement sidewalk runs the length of the middle with 3 1/2' high cement walls running alongside.

Behind these, are sectioned off, square cement "tanks", in sizes getting progressively larger as the hatchlings are moved from tank to tank, according to size and weight. Each tank holds no more than 1 1/2' - 2 1/2' of water that's changed maybe 3 times a week.

The "aroma" that hits you in the face when that door is open, especially at 4-5 o'clock on a August afternoon for a feeding, is like walking into a Porta-John that's been left on an Arizona highway, untouched, 100 miles from nowhere, since the 50's!

Chief's post is hilarious.

I hope I never get so mature that I don't think farts are funny anymore.

Found this list and thought it was funny.

Plain Jane. One-second duration, nice resonant reverberation, and pungent odor cloud with a nearly instantaneous 5-foot radius. Your standard, everyday, friendly fart.

Beefy One. Sounds loud and butch, e.g., 'BRAAAMMPPP!' Smells like a cross between a decaying meadow muffin on a hot day and a fresh dog-turd.

Eggy. Smells very much like rotten eggs (or hydrogen sulfide). A powerful odor which tends to put people off lunch. Often rips out in the fashion of a Bunbuster (see below).


Bunbuster. 'BRAAAP!' Sounds something like a Beefy One, except much more sudden and much more powerful. May smell either eggy or beefy. Leaves your ******* smarting. You really feel these babies.

Ripper. Sends seismic ripples to the next town. Rips the seams in the crotch of your pants. This fart genuinely hurts, and you can still feel it 20 minutes later. Anyone sitting nearby may experience hearing loss.


Diesel. Sputters to a start, but then keeps putt-putting along spewing out an endless cloud of dirty, noxious fumes.
Surprise! You didn't even know that it was there, but suddenly . . . 'BRRMP!'

Gunshot. Sounds just like a gunshot. Unbelievably loud indoors. Hard to believe that this emanates from between your buttocks. Bullet explodes into billions of virulent odor molecules. Gunshot farts are relatively rare but, like guns, very dangerous.


Squeaky. Puny and unsatisfying. Sounds a bit like a muffled 'Wheeeek,' but smells foul.

Worrier. The kind that seems to be a fart right up to the point at which you release it. At this stage, matters become less sure, as it feels too solid for comfort. You go to the bathroom and check your underpants at the first possible opportunity.

Poopie Prelude. It feels like it's going to be a large beefy one, but out comes a tiny little squeaker fart plus the head of something massive. You tense your buttocks fast, lest you give birth to the brown equivalent of a zeppelin.

Present. The type of fart that seems harmless, but then brings a small poop as a housewarming gift. You shuffle off to the toilet and give thanks you weren't in a business meeting or job interview when it happened. If you were, you're screwed.

Burble. Bubbly! Sometimes messy too.

SBD (Silent But Deadly). Totally inaudible but somehow causes all the occupants in a room to collapse. Smell is undefined because nasal investigators haven't had time to analyze the odor before passing out. (This one is also known as SBL: Silent But Lethal and Toxic Assassin.)


GNL (Gambled 'n' Lost). You take a gamble that it's going to be a fart and stay where you are, but tragically come to realize that this is much more than a fart... Next big gamble: do you put your underpants in the laundry basket and hope your wife won't notice, do you wash 'em out yourself, or do you throw 'em away?

Hydrated. The original wet fart, which leaves a mark on your pants and gives you a cold wet sticky sensation when you walk. Try to avoid this one if you're wearing white trousers.

Not Now Please! You feel the presence of a mighty fart but are unable to release it due to your situation (first date, new customer, important business meeting, etc.). You clench your buttocks together so hard you nearly have a stroke, and wait for the pressure to subside. Success depends upon a number of factors, but in the end you're probably going to have to face the music (literally). Or you can try the stealth approach (see below).

Who, Me? You let it out as silently as possible and nobody hears it. You discreetly take deep sniffs and smell nothing. You think you got away with it. But 30 seconds later, as if released from a stasis field, everybody starts to cough and splutter. You point to the person next to you and try to look innocent.

Waker-Upper. The first fart of the morning. All that broccoli, beans, and beer you had for dinner last night has decayed and fermented into about 1,000 ml of noxious gas just dying to escape from your rectum. Whether you let go under the covers when you first wake up or hold it until you're taking your early morning pee, releasing that first fart of the day feels oh, so good and sets the tone for the whole day.

Electrical. Sound like they have some juice in them.

Dutch Oven. A fart you make in bed -- any kind at all -- followed up by holding your partner's head under the bedclothes so that he/she can get the full effect of it. Good for moving a stalled divorce process along.
