I work at a nursing home as a CNA i smell a lot of nasty stuff...^_^ but after awhile you get used to it!

I've never thrown up from a stench, but I have gagged from them. And most of the smells were normal, nothing like that lotion. Though I have smelled some lotions that were pretty foul.. I wonder where people come up with these different sort of scents.

One time when I was in the car, you know how when you're in the car for so long you fall asleep? Well, I was asleep and this awful smell rose through my nose. I don't know if it's only me, but I tend to wake up immediately if I smell something horrible. So I did, and I coughed. I almost threw up, gosh the smell was hideous! I then figured out it was the smell of skunk and nausea swept over me, but I let it in. I hate throwing up.. it's awful.. somehow, I didn't and I was glad when the smell went away. GAWD, I HATE SKUNKS!! > : o

The most awful smell I've ever had assault my nose was the smell of an animal rotting on my dad's tire. It filled our entire garage and it took two weeks to figure out where the smell was coming from. That stuf they use to preserve the dead cat's in vet class is probably the next worse smell.

Wow, I never smelled anything from Burt's Bees, but that just sounds awful D:

Luckily I never had any disgusting smells that I can remember that just haunted me and made me want to throw up (besides the normal bodily odors when people didn‘t know how to bathe, deodorize, or something like that).

I clean houses for a living -- for the rich, and the elderly. Let me tell you, the smell of piss and Tilex are some of the worst smells on the planet. It doesn't help that I have a very acute sense of smell -- everything is amplified in my nostrils. I've nearly thrown up multiple times while cleaning bathrooms. I have to force myself to hold it in, or I'd be stuck cleaning a bathroom that smelled of piss, Tilex, AND vomit.

ugh, the stuff that I have smelled and deemed the worst would be almost anything that is rotting XP. especially meat XP for example. Once, my parents bought this huge seashell as decoration from Cuba and then it started stinking after a few days, especially once we got home X( it smelled so bad that everyone suggested that we throw it out XP but then they were like, "aww, it looks so pretty, and it would be such a waste" and stuff like that. So, in the end, we put it in the fishbowl. lol. I have no idea if it smells bad even if it is in the fishbowl and I'm not checking XD before we put it in the fishbowl, the whole house smelled like rotting fish, and after we put it in the fishbowl, it seems like it doesn't stink as much......I wonder if the water in the fishbowl stinks now.........

Ugh, gross! Did the people who sold it to your parents not clean out the remains of the DEAD ANIMAL that once lived inside it or something?
I'll bet the water does stink. Have you ever changed the water in a beta's fish tank before? You're not supposed to change it that often, so when you do, it's usually foul. I had to help my English teacher change the water in our classroom's beta tank my senior year. That was another instance where I almost puked everywhere. >_>

Homeless people in the summer. You know, the ones who haven't showered allll winter, and now the sun is starting to ferment and ripen all those lovely body smells that the winter freeze covered up? It's even worse when they ride the bus and sit near me, or I'm somewhere crowded and public and they're near me, or worse, they touch me as they walk by. Auuuugh, so nasty.

Also, the smell of poop. Any kind of poop. Especially dog poop that's been frozen in snow all winter then melts D: Something about that smell really gets to me...

The smell of stale cigarettes also gets to me. And people who never brush their teeth, their breath always smells like poo D:

There are so many nasty smells in this world >< I couldn't even begin to list them all.

I hate the smell of old books from a library. And the smell of dust.:shock:

There's a coworker of mine who just REEKS. And the worst part is I teach martial arts, so the smell just intensifies throughout the day/evening. It's so bad that if you move to a spot where he was standing before you the whole area just reeks of him. It's horrible.

My boss and another coworker of mine have both asked him very nicely to fix the problem, but the problem remains. He just smells awful. I actually resort to using hand sanitizer to drown the smell out when I walk by him, I hold my hand up to my nose and inhale the sanitizer instead of his stench.

I just CAN'T tell him how bad it is though, I'm afraid I won't be very nice about it...
