Besides the obvious (B.O., barf, bad breath, human & dog/cat excrement, urine & farts), I especially don't care for tobacco and cigar smoke; bleach; sometimes accumulated old water in the bottom of plant saucers gets a really yucky odor; garlic smells on humans (like on the bus!); unwashed doggie and doggie breath; dirty clothes; bus and other diesel fumes; jackets and coats on people on crowded public transport in winter; alcohol fumes coming from people who've been drinking; tobacco odors from smokers and their clothing.

Clostridium difficile diarrhoea, the contents of colostomy and ileostomy bags, faeces containing large amounts of fresh blood, vomit that largely consists of bile and the smell of recent death (as opposed to the smell of extensive decomposition, which I have fortunately mostly managed to avoid so far).

Cattle feed lots are awful. And rotting flesh. I once drove past a rotting horse carcass in Chile and the smell was unbearable.

I forgot to put dead bodies. I only smelled that once when a guy died in the building I lived in and nobody knew it for a few days.

And the smell of a heavy smoker who has just had a cigarette and has nicotine leaching out of their pores.

Yuck.

Nope, I can't imagine such things - horrifying what some people have to put up with as part of their jobs. I also forgot, now that I think about it, to put stinky, decomposing garbage -- like the poor garbagepeople have to put up with.

Oh yes speaking of stinky garbage at work in one of these deep freezers my boss has at work , a dead animal
of some sort was found in that freezer and of course the freezer was not on the cord was not connected and
talk about stinking out the warehouse?
Oh god it was obnoxious fumes and they threw it away in the dumpster outside and that smell still lingers outside
in that dumpster oh enough to make somebody puke yuck

I'm sure you know about putting menthol rub under your nose, to block out bad smells, like cadavers, etc. I wonder if that works.

Oh and I was thinking the other night about those guys who have to clean out those outhouses with them vacuum
trucks my next door neighbor he has a job doing this oh gross and yuck them outhouses are filthy nasty dirty
yes those kinds of outhouses you find at sporting events or construction jobs plus the other type you would find
at Rest Stops along the interstate highway? these kinds of jobs would be pure hell

Sounds like the kinds of bathrooms we have at some of our most popular parks and beaches! Filthy. They should be providing good, easy to clean regular park bathrooms instead of those port-a-potty types.

Durian fruit smells like rotting flesh that's been marinating in a sewer. It's the worst of both worlds.

I picked one of those up by accident in Hawaii. I couldn't get that smell off of my fingers or out of my nose hairs for days. That is by far the most wretched live thing smell there is.

That about nails it. As long as there is week old vomit form an animal who ate something dead in the sewer too.
