I was cleaning out my cousin's refrigerator because our fridge upstairs died, and we needed to put our stuff in it.

Well, he was kind of a slob and he had several globs of shit in there. In the refrigerator door, there was this... yellowish-whitish stuff that looked like cake mix (it was flaky). My mom said she thinks it's milk.

So, I used a steamer to try and clean it... And... oh my god... It literally smelled like 90-year-old semen. It was the worst thing I have ever smelled in my entire life. And I'm a smoker... I can't smell that well.

I had to hold my nose while I was cleaning it, and after I was done, I saturated everything around me, including myself, with lysol.

So, what's the most disgusting thing you've ever smelled and what did it smell like?

This one flower at Epcot.
It’s huge and smells like rotting meat. What where they thinking planting that thing? It doesn’t even look cool, it’s just gross.

You'd better call the biohazard people for safety next time!

I had a summer job as a nurse in a nursing home for the elderly. They all came down with the stomach flu, and were just basically leaking out of both ends for several days. The smell still haunts me.

Ever smelled a rotten carrot? It oozes slime, and if left to its own devices will become so pungent that everything you cook in the same kitchen will taste of rotten carrot.

Maybe not the worst smell ever, but one certainly memorable, was at my friends home.
See, this friend of mine is an absolute slob, and this is coming to you from a dedicated slob.
So If even I, of all people, can call this man a pig, you can get the idea...

Anywhoo..
This buddy of mine says, "Hey c'mon over..lets make some chili!"
I agree, and head over.

When I get there, his kitchen was so filthy, that instead of actually removing the garbage, and dirty dishes, he had simply draped a sheet in
front of the entryway of the kitchen, so he wouldnt have to look at it, from the living room.

Im not making this up, folks.

So....I decide that theres no way in fucking hell im preparing food in this mess.
I tell him what a lazy puke/filthy slob he is and make him help me clean it up.
He says "Uhh..Im not really in the mood to clean, right now.."

I threaten to kick his ass, and cooly express my seriousness.
He agrees. (maybe he was humouring me, I dont care...I wasnt kidding.)

So.....the smell part.

I open his fridge, and nearly technicolor yawn...
THREE WEEKS earlier, he had made "Boiled Dinner", wich from what I understand is basically cabbage and ham, or something.
The majority of it was in a state of decomposition, and had sprouted a vibrant blue mold.
So this big pot of rotten cabbage had been rotting for almost a month, and I was the lucky bastard who found it.

Burning live flesh. It's amongst the worst smells I've ever sensed.

There was this one guy that came into work one day. He was obviously homless, and dear God in heaven he stunk so bad I nearly puked on him. Keep in mind that I have a high tolerance to many smells, but this guy takes the cake. When he finally left fifteen minutes later, I spent the next few hours going through THREE full air freshners to rid the place of the man's stink.

Imagine the look on my boss's face when he went to look for the air freshners later on that day b/c of the stink that HE left behind in the bathroom.

Nasty. Pure evil smell. No doubt about it.

I've known worse. Probably one of the worst in the country.

There's this guy I knew years ago, named Wayne. He was already weird, because at age 14 he had a thick, fully-grown beard, like Bin Laden (except he was white). When you see him, with a huge brown beard and a death metal shirt, you think, "Wow. He must be a tough guy," but when he talks, he has a voice that's like... seriously fucking high-pitched (even after he went through puberty, years later).

Well, in his house, when he still lived in it, literally his entire floor was covered with trash. He had old newspapers from the 80's still on his floor, cat shit, cat food, regular food, and just general trash. It was the kind of house that, when you walk in, just standing inside you feel gross. In his room, he had a trashcan that was piled high with trash, with some flies buzzing in it. He said to me once, "Be careful. Don't hit the trashcan. It activates the flies."

And the craziest thing was---he had the opportunity to live with his mom, in a clean house (his parents were divorced), but he preferred to live with his dad because of how permissive he was.

wow.

Just....wow.

Ive seen only one place like that.
A freind of mines brother.
I helped my freind move out of his brothers house, and it was simlar to your description.
They abandoned a dog, too, wich I rescued in a thunderstorm.
I havent spoken to those shithead human pukes in a long while.

"Hubert Cumberdale, you taste like soot and poo"

Worst smell I ever discovered was actually yesterday;

I live in a tidy house - mum is a neat freak so every room always has to be as neat as a new pin with nothing out of place and with fresh flowers in every room (etc, you get the picture)

Well - I went into the kitchen to get an orange from the fruit bowl...and in there was a bundle of oranges just sat, tempting...

At the very bottom of the fruit bowl, obviously undisturbed for many a week, was an orange that was just covered in this fuzz...I picked it up and it just smelt awful - I actually gagged. It was like musty soot and poo - thank you Salad Fingers...

Yes i too know the smell of 90 year old semen.

I once had the misfortune of visiting a beef rendering plant *gag* which stink enough to begin with but it recently had a bit of an explosion due to some malfunctioning equipment spewing rotten half cooked and pureed guts, blood, eyeballs, bull weenies, fetuses, you name it all over the place.

I could only describe the smell as the odour of fermented diarrhea cowshits with overtones of very rotten meat (like a dead body or something) concentrated into an extract sprayed into the air as steam. To say the stench was overpowering wouldn't do it justice. Along with the choking stink was actual steam which made it permeate everything, like clothes, nostrils, hair. skin, etc.

I was in the smell from hell for about 10 seconds which was as long I could stand it and escape to safely breathable air. Unfortunately it permeated my clothes, hair, everything and I smelled like a walking turd. It was stuck in my nostrils for a day or two and everything smelled of shit.

To this day I cannot eat at McDonald's because I can detect a very familiar stink coming from the deep fryers and burgers.

Yes i too know the smell of 90 year old semen.
Intimately?

I used to work in a national park, and the shit pit was definitely it.

My last fling with this girl, her pants smelled very very bad when I was doing the washing I had to hold my nose when putting them in the washing machine * Fish,Fish,Rotten Fish, Cheese and something vile !!!

She was on holiday from the states and I managed to get her back to my place !!

I haven't smelled anything that terrible.

Though the mushroom farm came close - smelled like... really really musty and just GROSS.

The other bad smell, which is strange, was this dude's aftershave on the bus - he sat right in front of me and it was so overpowering, I spent the whole 15 minute bus journey literally trying not to gag. I don't know why I found that particular smell so disgusting.

Oh, then there were the things they made us smell in chemistry such as hydrogen sulphide (rotten eggs) and ammonia (stale piss). Yum.

My previous worst stink was also from chemistry. We had one lab where we literally boiled napthalene saurated with sulphur. Then there was this extraction experiment where we got to play with the chloroform. :eek:

Did you honestly have to share that??

Small village, middle of england yet in the middle of nowhere.

it isn't that farms all around you rek as such, it's just the fact that they're everywheere and a slurry lorry drives past my bedroom every other day.

i love the smell of cities and fumes, it's what i grew up with, and now there is just a hint of shit every waking hour.

oh god... someone just reminded me of Mr. Andersson.

new zealander chemistry teacher. every other loesson was a fun practical lesson. only problem was some of the smells. we filled conical 500ml (1 pint) flasks with the gas they put in stinkboms. Iron sulfide? between two or three in a class of 27.

so about 14 pints of this stuff in a classroom. no wonder we wrote it up outside! but, being evil, we closed all doors and windows and switched the extraction fans built for smell removal off first, so the next class got it too.

oh the joys of year 8 chemistry.

mmmm sulfur! but anywho.. around here theres mainly farms (dairy farms)... ever drive anywhere and pass thru a whole bunch of em? not the worst smell but still, rotten carrots are worse

I work for a Foundry doing sculptural restoration both in the studio and in the field. One of the most disgusting things I've ever smelled has to be a patina I use to restore the dark brown almost black colour you see on certain bronze sculptres. Its called Liver of Sulphur and contains Sulphuric Acid and some kind of vile mixture concocted from Cod livers. It smells like sulphur and rotten fish, and over-poweringly so.

One day a few months ago I was working on-site at the Victorian mansion of some ridiculously rich folk, restoring the bronze relief panels on the inside front doors, which some moron had polished all the patina off of and thus reduced their value by about 1000%. To prep them, I had to use the Liver of Sulphur, which pretty much stunk up the entire fisrt floor of the old house.

The only person there besides some kind of Governess was the 13 year old daughter of the owners. She was fascinated by the process and came to watch for awhile, and of course made a comment about the stench. I told her there wasn't a thing I could think of which stunk more than the Liver of Sulphur (even the name is disgusting!) Big mistake. The girl said she knew of something worse, the farts of her mother's dog. TMI.

Well, she wandered off and I thought I was rid of her until she came back in the room with a beautiful old Afghan Hound. She said if we waited long enough, the dog would fart and prove her point. Just a second after I said I didn't want any proof, the dog whimpered and made an audible fart which lasted 5 seconds and filled the entire room with a stench so foul I opened the doors, ran outside and nearly retched in breathing mask before I got it off my face. I thought I was going to puke all over the rose bushes. Yes, I was wearing a breathing mask and the stench was still that foul. That was definitely the WORST stench I've encountered.

I didn't smell it personally, but I have a good imagination.

a friend of mine was stationed overseas... his military base was between a bakery and a stockyard.

the smell wafting into the base depended on which way the wind blew, from one direction you get the stockyards... the other, chocolate chip cookies...

and during the days where the wind didn't blow... you get a very disgusting smell that left you... well let's just say without an appitite.

Rotting meat does it for me. Rotting with maggots. Early to mid stage decomposition.

the worst smells are anything decomposing and bulmers...... ughhhh

A Baalut (Balut) in the Philippines. http://folk.uio.no/svenkni/person/bilder/filip/balut.jpg

Baalut
(Philippines) How about that great delicacy of the Philippines... Baalut. You take a fertilized duck or chicken egg, bury it in the ground for a few weeks and then enjoy. Also known as "the treat with feet" or "the egg with legs". Best enjoyed after many, many, many beers. This is a Filipino delicacy--a duck egg containing a half-formed duckling, soft-boiled and eaten out of shell with a spoon. (Slurp! Crunch-crunch! Yum!

Yes i too know the smell of 90 year old semen.
Ew. Why?

And I want to know the same from President Shrub.

:D

By the way, the worst smell I've ever personally encountered is a feedlot outside a slaughterhouse in the middle of the summer. It's like a diarrhea explosion mixed with rotting carcasses. I had to do some emergency muffler work on my Jeep about three years ago in the middle of that stench--it was on I-40 outside Amarillo TX in a little town named (and I swear I'm not making this up) Bushland.

In my locker at school, I used to take salads in with me in plastic boxes, anyway I just kept leaving these boxes in there and after a few months I opened up this locker, my lab coat was brown it had that much decomposed stuff on it and the boxes had exploded because of gas and the smell was like decaying puke mixed with crap. It was vile, also the inside was entirly white fluffy mold, when i opened the door i had to get a stick and move this stuff, they were like cobwebs. I've learned my lesson since then, believe you me!

I can't remember any smell that has been particularily foul...
But I love gross-out humour, and have not laughed as hard as I did reading this thread in at least a year. I feel the need to give back to the community, even if I cannot share personal experiences.

I got this:

How Now Downed Cow
One summer while my boss was away, one of our sick cows bought the farm. As instructed, I called the rendering company to pick up dead Bessie, which they said they'd do that afternoon. Four days later, the truck still hadn't arrived and I now had a 350-pound inflated cow balloon about ready to pop. When the truck driver—an Appalachian hillbilly who smelled like roadkill sex—finally showed up, I asked why he was late. Apparently, a nearby hog farm lost power, suffocating all 800 breeding-age sows in the barn. Bubba said the last load of dead pigs was still on the truck, and when he pulled in I could see their rotting little hooves protruding above the top of the semi trailer. When he attempted to pick up the cow, the skin sloughed off its entire side, revealing a half-eaten flesh wall of maggots. I asked the guy if he'd have room for her, and—I shit you not—he replied, "Well, if I can't get her in the back, I'll put her up front with me." I have no idea if he did fit her in back or not; he just kept grappling with her and pulled one of her legs off. I immediately got the fuck out of there and took a few days off work. Weeks later, you could still smell the dead cow, though I wonder if it wasn't just lingering truck driver.

Blech, I've worked in several slaughterhouse while helping my dad with his Butchershop/Deli and I've seen some pretty bad stuff, but that takes the cake.

I once had to help slaughter, draw, quarter and portion an entire steer, in the middle of a farmers field on a very hot mumid day. The steer broke lose in the night, they found it in the morning, 2 broken legs and trapped in the remanants of an old fence. The only way to salvage the meat was right there in the field, since moving the steer in one was out of the question. It took 3 hours, and by then the skin and guts, which we'd left sitting on the side while working on the more important bits, began to stew in the summer sun. Yech...I can't imagine what 4 days of rotting must've smelled like.

Well if dude is working for Maxim, he doesn't have to worry about hillbillies and rotten cow carcasses anymore.

Well if dude is working for Maxim, he doesn't have to worry about hillbillies and rotten cow carcasses anymore.He doesn't work for Maxim. He sent his story into the Worst job of the week column.

Well, maggots stink pretty bad, but so does someone with B.O. I mean, it smells really bad and to get rid of it, all people need to do is have a shower or something, I can understand if they've just been working out or playing a sport, but for people just walking down the street, it's really quite bad.

Also this guy once exploded in his pants as in farted in an elevator I was in, it was like an explosion that lasted two seconds with no warning, and ended just as abruptly.
Within seconds I was almost in tears, my head thrust downward into my Tshirt, the woman next to me gagged and almost passed out, I was tempted to offer her support, but thankfully the door finally opened and this huge pig stepped out, and I think I heard him chuckle.
Oh the humanity!

This house is 140 yars old, and a quick look around yields no 90 year old semen. In fact, no semen at all.

Actually, the worst thing I ever smelled was a biphenyl I made in chem. We had been instructed not to smell it, but my lunatic partner couldn't stand the curiosity, opened the reactor, and inhaled. He coughed a little, and then started making this 'wuuuuuuuueuuuuoooogh' sound over and over. I'm standing there helpless, my only thought was that we had discovered a new bodily function. The instructor came over and asked "What the FUCK are you doing?" He pointed to his girlfriend, who was waiting down the back of the lab, and shouted, "Don't you talk to me like that! Thats my mother over there and she thinks you're a dingdong!" Not accustomed to this level of psychosis, I backed away, and didn't do very well that smester...

In an ambulance, on a Code call, and the patient does a total SR while we're trying to jump start her. God only knows what she had eaten for the past few days...

Once we pulled a deader out of a river. He had been there for a few days. Went totally Stay-Puff. Pull an arm and it would separate from the torso. Not even a meat bag will keep that smell contained in a hot ambulance. :ralph:

I was cleaning out my cousin's refrigerator because our fridge upstairs died, and we needed to put our stuff in it.

Well, he was kind of a slob and he had several globs of shit in there. In the refrigerator door, there was this... yellowish-whitish stuff that looked like cake mix (it was flaky). My mom said she thinks it's milk.

So, I used a steamer to try and clean it... And... oh my god... It literally smelled like 90-year-old semen. It was the worst thing I have ever smelled in my entire life. And I'm a smoker... I can't smell that well.

I had to hold my nose while I was cleaning it, and after I was done, I saturated everything around me, including myself, with lysol.

Give it about two months and this glob will get a job offer from Air America Radio.
