Gaf, most repulsive smell?

Rotten rice in the summer with 85+ degree weather. That has made want to puke so many times as I've flushed it down the toilet; the smell makes me gag. Maybe this year I'll learn my lesson and get rid of it ASAP before it turns bad.

Also the smell of dead mice and passing by Chinatown (in Manhattan) on a sunny day.
 
The smell of a dead body is awful. You know exactly what it is. It's been passed down over generations and you just know its death.

Other than that burning hair is a really awful one, probably linked to the above and certain types of rotting food.

Shower farts smell awesome, the guy who hates it is dying and needs medical attention.
 
Body odor. I worked with a girl years ago who always smelled like that one wet towel at the bottom of a dirty clothes pile and stinky unwashed feet. It was wretched.

Worst unfortunate smell is a yeast infection after you've already committed to going down. Consequently bad fish smells even worse than normal.

I caught it recently. I didn't even know that we could catch it from the ladies. Jock Itch. Tinactin and gold bonding up for another week.
 
I remember when we dissected a cat in science class, we preserved em in this shit, some kind of ammonia compound...I was not in to that stuff at all. Worst smell I can recall.

Prime.

It's an aquarium water conditioner, probably containing sodium hydroxymethanesulfonate and god knows what else. It smells like a combination of rotten eggs and fermented flesh, diarrhea mixed with Limburger.

It's telling when the product's official Q&A page starts with "I think my Prime might be old because it smells bad" with an answer that basically say "No, that smell is normal."

Rupturing the gas sac on a pig.

NOPE.

A 2 week old Tampon being removed from a vagina. Don't ask.

Reminds me of a story I heard from a jailer who had to strip-search a junkie who hadn't taken a shower in about a week.
You can no doubt guess what they found and removed.
I don't envy being in that person's position...*shudder*
 
If you've ever been near a restaraunt like Chili's or Outback when it's time to clean out the grease traps.... Shit smells just as bad as sewage.

I was cleaning the cowlings of an aircraft and the dirt inside smelled horrible. Not sure it was the worst but it was pretty bad.

I'm not big on rotten foods and death. Had to clean out a school freezer that went bad last summer and literally had 1000+ pounds of food that was sitting there in 90F+ weather for 4 days to clean out.

Death, like roadkill and stuff, just gets in my nose and doesn't want to leave.

1. Crush an ant
2. Smell it

My old apartment had an ant problem. I couldn't live with it.

Whenever a wasp used to get into the house, I'd trap it in a glass jar and leave it to die. Once I'd trapped a few and left the jar for a few weeks. A new wasp shows up and I grab the jar. The wasps inside look... funny. Shriveled up and covered in white fungus or something. I shrug and open the jar. The smell was indescribable. It physically assaulted my nostrils. The olfactory equivalent of nails on a blackboard. I just slammed the lid back on, opened every window in the house. Then went on a long, long drive.


Haven't had any problems with wasps since, though.

I forgot about how bad this smells. It's fermented bamboo shoots and it smells like shit. My dad used to get it all the time. Every time he ate it at home, everyone would leave the room. He's the only person who could stand the smell of it.

Ass is pretty bad, but close up skunk spray and decomposing corpses of any kind will cause about anyone to hurl. It is one thing when the smell can clear the room and another when it will cause you to throw up.

I love this topic.

You would think "shit" is the worst smell in the world. After all, if something smells horrible, it smells like "shit." What I have learned as a medical student is there are many smells worse than shit.

Some of the most horrible smells are listed in no order:
- Bacterial vaginosis
- Psuedomonal wound infection (fruity smell my ass)
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the rectum
 
Having been to a morgue I'll say it's a dead body. I think we are wired by nature for it to be the most offensive odor as a natural deterrent from predators/danger.

I once was without electricity for a few weeks and forgot to empty my freezer full of meat. After a couple of weeks I noticed this really bad rotting smell in my kitchen and realized it came from the freezer.

The smell that met me when I opened it was by far the worst smell I've ever encountered, and getting these bags full of pretty much liquid meat out had me constantly struggling to keep from throwing up.

I actually never managed to get rid of that smell, no matter how many times I cleaned. Everything I put in the freezer smelled awful.
 
I remember back in to the year of 1348, there was a great cleansing of the population. Be it a plague, act of God, I cannot ascertain. In any case it was awful. The stench was quite unbearable. Be it from the sick and dying lying in the streets or the general filth of streets. livestock ran wild and defecated whenever they please, generally this was true of humans too. I toured city to city observing and being amazed and repulsed simultaneously at the sickness and horror of it all.

That was the most foul smell I have ever been "privileged" to take in.

Back to the DeLorean, adventure awaits!

Cat shit in a litter box ingested by a dog then thrown up/re-pooped out.

I guess you could call it a double doody.
