..has to be the stench emanating from underneath the roughly 3-month old plaster cast encasing the arm of an overweight, homeless Aboriginal man who considers his personal hygiene to be somewhere as important as the state of the Zimbabwean economy.

Allow me to explain. I was walking to the station yesterday and this gentleman was stumbling in the opposite direction. Given that I was downwind of him, I smelt him before I saw him. It was like being hit in the face with a baseball bat covered in a bag of 4 month old infant excrement. I felt the smell bodily strike me in the face before pervading my every sense. I felt I could touch it, given the incentive to. Even now, attempting to recall it, I can feel myself gagging.

I would liken it to being caught in a cloud of nasty. Sadly this poor man appeared unaffected by his own hideous olfactory failings, and nonchalantly strolled down the street as various people of different social backgrounds were left floundering and coughing in his wake. (No shit - there were literally people swearing and coughing as he walked past.)

It was unlike anything else I have ever smelt. It sucked, and there is no other way to put it.

Have you ever smelt anything that has made you want to tear your nose off your face and bury it?

A bloated can of rotten dog food as it is puntured or explodes.

Another is rotten pumpkin, when the pumpkin is still whole and the innards have liquefied.

Smelt them both as a young fella working at Coles. A workmate actually opened a box of dog food during afterschool time when the store was packed. As he held the can in one hand and placed his other hand over his mouth to do the harold holt to the cleaning room a rather obstinate elderly woman pulled him up and asked him where something was. When he mumbled through his hand like he was eating a picnic, she didn't care, the most important thing in the whole world at that time was her finding he bloody incontinence pads or whatever she was after. She actually had hold of one of his shirt sleeves so he couldn't get away from her.

He removed his hand and spewed all over the front of her including into her blue rinse.

Another thing I just thought of. I snapped my leg playing footy, a la Nathan Brown in the mids 80s. While I was in hospital in the shared ward with about 20 others, there's was an old cocky in the bed next to me. He was absolutely rancid. He would sit there all day looking rather sheepish because of it. A nurse told me that he was felling a tree on his property and a large limb caught him as he was trying to get out of the way. It ripped him open from his rectum to the base of his old fella, including ripping his nut sack open on the way. Because of the nature and location of the wound they couldn't stitch it up and dress it, it had to be left as an open wound to heal naturally. He reeked, poor old fella.

During that same 2 week stay that I was in there, I refused to sit on a bed pan so I went 13 days without a dump. On the last day all of a sudden I had to go. I called for the pan and the nurse pulled the curtain around me. The bloke next door who I'd become friendly with, had is gf, his parents and a couple of mates visiting. They cut short their visit and left, I was that bad, it was dead set embarrassing. It took me half and hour or so and was thick and very claggy. Plenty of other patients gave me a good ribbing when it was done.
 
At the local supermarket an elderly lady was a frequent shopper, well she always seemed to be there.

Unfortunately her personal hygiene routine did not seem to include washing her arse, because my friends, that was where the knock out gas seem to emanate from.

Passing her in a aisle was close to self flagellation.

If she was a sheep I would have assumed she was fly-blown.

The Durian fruit is supposed to be really bad and banned on many Asian forms of public transport

Went to a Thai restaurant a couple of months ago and there were lollies at the register for free to take. I thought the picture was a pineapple. :(
 
Have you seen the Bizarre Foods guy on Foxtel?

He tried Durian and gagged, for him to do that it must be disgusting.
 
My dogs silent deadly ones are up there. :eek: Can be quite gag making and they didn't let me down when I had unexpected visitors one day. :D:D Serve them right for not letting me kow they were coming at lunch time empty handed.

I have memories of going down Geelong Road on a hot summers day with a northerly blowing and copping a whiff of meat works and the tannery. :eek:
 
I moved in with a random in richmond one of the first times i moved out of home. After a short time I realised he suffered from a few social problems. On top of that he was quite unhygenic. He would eat fast food and leave the remnants in his room, not wash his clothes and he must have done other things that contributed to the worst smell I've ever smelt.

I have lived with bf's and have 3 brothers, i know what guys can naturally be like in terms of smelling rooms out. This guy was in a league of his own. He eminated the worst smell i've smelt.

Had a bloated (dead) calf explode on me while I was dragging it off the road many years ago, The gasses that came out of that thing weren't too pleasant.

Old Man smell is something that makes me gag. Rotten sloppy bagged potatoes are quite feral.
 
I've smelled all of these bar the flower and fruit and the true worst smell in the world is the Operating Theatre 5 minutes after cauterising vessels during an operation to remove and ischaemic bowel. A senior nurse vomited into her mask and I tried to stand as close to her/the bin as I could in order to breathe in the sickly sweet vomit air in hope it would drown out the burning, rotten fecal matter and dead flesh.
 
A dead body would be the worst.

Stale piss is another. Must of forgot to flush one of the toilets at home after another hard weekend. Got to it a week later and was smacked in the face by a baseball bat as soon as i entered the toilet. Boy.....
 
when i was around 12-13, was in the car with my parents. they passed a truck that had jack-knifed and flipped over, emptying it's payload of rotting animal organs onto the road

the car had to drive over the juices from the truck, the smell of which stayed on the car for about a week. no amount of driving or cleaning got that smell off
 
um Durian's dont smell nor taste bad.

I used to arrange farmer's insurance, a lot of them would insure prize stud rams & bulls. If a claim due to death had to be made I had to collect the tag and submit it with the claim form.

Never, ever, never go to collect an ear tag 4 days after a stud bull has died in the middle of January during a heat wave of 10 days straight over 40 degrees.

The bloating, the open wounds that had been attacked, the decaying tongue hanging half out of the mouth, the arse end that has been ripped open, the flies and maggots and most vindictively, the overpowering smell that will be recognised anywhere on the farm.

Trust me, you do not want to know this stench.
 
Once found an old onion that had rolled to the back of the cupboard. Went to pick it up and it just collapsed in my hand - the insides had turned to a gel like mess.

The smell it released was the worst thing I've ever smelt - it actually made me spew. Took weeks to get the smell off me and out of the kitchen. I still feel queasy thinking about it.

Agree, when my dog was younger we used to feed her a puppy roll - just mashed up meat and other shit - and that was putrid. Sitting in the lounge room and all of a sudden, there's this huge whack of a silent but deadly and she lies down as if nothing ever happened while I'm leaving the room waiting for the stench to leave.

Thankfully she doesn't get the puppy roll anymore. :thumbsu:
