re: What's the worst smell in the world?

Paper mill (looking at you West Monroe)

Rotting vegetables/fruit

New Orleans

Curry. That is the worst.

Horse and cattle abscesses are godawful

Human flesh burning. Came upon a motorcycle accident one time … he had layed it down … caught it on fire… firemen sprayed foam to put out fire.. rider was burnt to a crisp, still on bike in riding position.

GI bleed

There is a lot of catfish farming around my hometown in West AL. The farm behind my grandad's house had 3 ponds really close to the property line not far from the house. I don't remember what cause it, but they lost every single fish in those 3 ponds one summer. It was one of those smells like ammonia that you can feel penetrate straight to your lungs

I walked into an apartment one time where they were boiling chitlins, smelled like nursing home diarrhea which is up on the list imo.

i don't doubt this. never smelled it, never want to.

but, when i tried to stand my freezer up after katrina, the stench that poured of of it is definitely the worst thing i have personally ever smelled.

it took maybe 1 second for the flies to arrive.

The worst thing I can remember smelling was my freezer seeing it for the first time three weeks without power after hurricane katrina.

Nope. I would have never opened it. Duct tape that fricker up good and tight so it won't open. Haul it to the dump and buy a new one.
