Stinky Things You Have Encountered.

[bertha katzenengel]

Have you ANY IDEA how much a bag of dead Japanese Beetles STINKS?!

This is a trap.



Today I changed the bags on my traps, and may I say . . .



I didn't even TOUCH the bottom part where they'd all collected. Still, I had to scrub my hands four times with baking soda, and I can still smell it a little bit.

I don't know how cops and their support teams and coroners and roadkill cleanup crews do it. I really don't. If dead bug stench makes me this sick . . .

1. I was supposed to go to bed, but I am kicking this instead.

I want some stinky replies to read in the morning . . . before I bathe. :chuckle:

(I get weird when I'm awake at 2:00 AM.)

'night! :hi:

[Dangerously Amused]

2. Yeah, I do.

'CUZ I CAN SMELL IT FROM HERE!!! Thanks, Bertha.

3. Nothing more stinky nauseating than bong water spilled on the carpet.

[tuvor]

4. There's a couple of oyster-shucking plants on my route.

Lately...revolting, just revolting.

Poor folks up the hill, I don't care HOW wonderful their view of the Ocean is if the wind is blowing in an offending direction. I'll bet you don't see THAT in their real estate spec sheets.

5. My kid sister didn't empty out the cooler when she got home from camping

sunday. We discovered this today. There was meat in there.

:puke:

6. I found a conch once.

Lemme tell ya, it was bad.

The dump in Corpus is also up there.

The dead whale... that was pretty bad too.

That's all I got. :shrug:

7. I drive past a paper mill

on my way to work, sort of a bad saurkraut smell, but much worse.

8. One July weekend, a buddy left a honeydew melon in the trunk of his car

We found it Tuesday morning, split open and oozing in his trunk. And the smell? OMFG! Like a body, it was!

He sold the car two years later - a faint odor of the incident was still in the trunk!

9. My dog...

>_<

[Fox Mulder]

10. My former roommate.

He only showered once a month...

Really...

:puke:

[Mutley]

12. Ohhh, I had a roommate like that.

There was also a period of a month where she'd get so drunk she'd pass out and pee in her bed. That is probably the worst smell Ever.

[Fox Mulder]

18. My brother used to do that.

He'd get so drunk at quarter taps that he'd stumble back to the apartment, pass out in his bed, and pee and puke all over the place.

11. My parents live a couple miles away from a chicken farm

In the summer... ohhhh boy. :puke:

[Callalily]

13. Alright . . .

I'll never get used to the smell of a manure spreader doing it's thing.
:puke:

[scarlet_owl]

14. I encounter them every day.

My ferrets, of course. But I have grown to love their stinky smell.

15. A slaughterhouse in Summer at High Noon.

I actually threw up.

[NewWaveChick1981]

16. Bertha, I can relate!

:hug: I freakin' HATE dealing with Japanese beetle traps and the bags that result. :puke: If I'm the one who has to do it, I hold my breath and wear latex gloves to handle it. :(

I have encountered more stinky things than I care to! About eight years ago, the dogs we had at the time cornered a skunk and both got sprayed heavily. It was awful. :puke: Nothing gets out skunk odor. Even after we took them to the vet and had them shaved as far as possible, the odor was still in their skin. Poor things---it was terrible for them too.

I HATE fresh asphalt paving smell. It can trigger a migraine in me after just a second or two of smelling it. :puke: Oh, and let's not forget the dead mouse one of my dogs brought up to the deck from the back yard---I think it had been dead a few days, and it had been lying in the sun. Double :puke: :puke:!

17. A 3 day dead momma possum in a bucket... with her live babies still on

her... 13 of them.

I donned a hazmat mask and gloves and gently got all of them out of her pouch and off of her and sent them off to a rescue re-habber.

It was THE most horrific smell I've ever encountered and emotionally very difficult, to be rooting around by hand in a rotting corpse, making sure I got all the babies. Several were still inside her pouch nursing, you see.

That smell stayed in my head for WEEKS!

19. The Coors brewery in Golden, Co

It was pretty stinky. I had to drive by it twice a day everyday to work and back. I haven't had a coors since.

20. Three cats sharing two litter boxes in Maryland this time

of year after a week, without airconditioning...

:puke:

[Joe Fields]

21. You haven't smelled anything really rank and vomit inducing, until

you drive past a saurkraut factory. Seriously, it is worse than the smell you smell when you have accidentally run over a skunk in your car.

Drove past a saurkraut factory in northwest Kentucky years ago. I will never forget it.

22. a planetarium full of middle schoolers in the summer

I used to work in a planetarium. We'd get a lot of camp, church, and YMCA groups in the summer, since the planetarium was a chance for them to sit in the A/C for a while and do something educational. But damn, those kids were stinky. It's not like they were neglected or anything; they were just at the age where kids are starting to smell like grown-ups but haven't quite mastered grown-up hygeine.

Our building had poor ventilation to begin with, so they'd come for a 10 am show and the place would have a very recognizable odor about it the rest of the day.

:puke:

24. I taught seventh-graders

I can attest to that! Next class was seniors--they used to gag over the lingering odor and BEG me to tell the youngsters to use deodorant. I told them to talk to the health teachers. (I taught English.)

Also very rank and hard to get rid of--cat effluvia on car upholstery. My friends and I were going to drive to Florida for spring break, but first we had to stop over at her house and leave her contraband kitty with her parents. Despite all the warnings, she couldn't resist feeding the cat that morning. The result: major poopage. The d-word. All over the back seat--because she also couldn't bear listening to her yowl in her cat carrier.

Blech. We worked all that night to try to get the stink out, including leaving coffee grounds on the back seat overnight, but no dice. Three girls in a car for 27 straight hours, in the southern heat, and that stink would waft up from under the sleeping bag...ugh. The memory lingers on.

23. Stinkiest thing I have enocuntered lately....

Somebody had dropped a deuce in the the urinal portion of a porta-potty that I entered. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or gag.

25. A fistulated cow...

They had one at UC Davis when I was attending there and they would let you put these arm-length gloves on and feel inside one of the portions of the cow's stomach. (It didn't hurt the cow.) The stench was terrible though. My boyfriend at the time got a glove with a slight hole in it so the cow's digestive fluids actually got on his hand. He must have washed his hands 10 times and the smell was still there. It was nauseating.
