JFF: What Smell Absolutely Bothers You!

Teenagers.
And cheap perfume.

Worse still, teenagers wearing cheap perfume.

Diesel trucks, including school buses. If I get behind one sometimes I'll actually pull over and let some time go by, I cannot take the fumes.

I feel bad for the pregnant moms reading this post!!

:)

I was a vet tech for 15 years - you get used to excretory odors. Excretory smells from healthy animals don't bother me. But the feces from an animal infected with parvo, coccidia or giardia will make me gag down to my toenails.

Cigarette smoke, stale cigarettes, stale smoke smell on people's clothes/hair.

I also can't stand the smell of raw meat and blood. Makes me gag.

I can't stand :

Meat, any kind of meat cooking

the super strong smell of garlic, onions

over ripe bananas--

sour cream

coffee/mochas/cappucino etc.

Heavy purfume--

B.O (body odor) that is one of the worst!

Cigarette/cigar smoke and smell--

cigarette breath

I am currently pregnant so these smells bother me especially when I am pregnant. But when I am not pregnant, they bother me as well. I have a super sensitive nose and tummy---certain smells can give me a migraine or make me physically ill.

Fish - I hate the smell of fish. I hate it while its cooking, while in the water, when in the grocery store behind the counter, and when its on my husbands plate at a restaurant. Yuck!

Saurkraut, brussels sprouts, etc. when cooking.

Any kind of vomit - except for dogs that we have induced vomiting in because they have just eaten chocolate or sugarless gum (both are toxic to dogs) - then it actually smells kinda yummy!

My husband after an evening out of smoking cigars with his buddies - his breath, his clothes, everything. I swear, it oozes from every pore!

But as a veterinarian, you might not want to know about some of the really nasty, foul, putrid smells I encounter on a regular basis! Especially puppies sick with parvo virus and the bloody blow-out diarrhea they have, any kind of tissue infection (abscesses, really bad ear and dental infections, etc.), and wounds infested with maggots. I've got a pretty strong stomach but there have been some things that have almost made me lose it!

Cigarette smoke
Febreze
Cheap candles
Cheap perfume
BO

breath, unless you are chewing gum i prefer you keep your distance. It all started when i was pregnant some peoples breath just totally disgusted me and made me want to puke. It carried over, not to the extent it was when i was preggers but ugh its still gross.

Oh one more biggie for me is when they are filling potholes or anything else that requires that black top, that stuff reeks!!!!!

I hate the smell of cigarette smoke. It seems to suck all the oxygen out of the air. Hate Hate Hate it.

Also hate the smell of Pepto Bismol. I assoicate it with being naseous, so the smell makes me nauseous.

When our house smells like fish the day after cooking it. I love fish, but boy that smell lingers in clothes, hair, etc....my mom will tell me she smells it on me and it really grosses me out!

Vomit (Move over please, I'm next!)

Cigarette smell on clothes or hands (and I'm a smoker!)

Coffee breath on co-workers.

Kielbasa. (gag)

Chinese food. From childhood on, I cannot bare being inside a room where chinese food is. This includes stir-fry.

Old lady musky perfume -gag.

The smell of fish when standing at a lake or pond.

The New Car Smell scented trees.

DVMMOM is so right!!! You can diagnose a maggot infestation from the parking lot. The bloody parvo explosions are something else. I really feel bad for these animals.

Cigarette smoke or the smell that lingers on a smoker. I'd rather smell cat poop. Musky smelling perfume also about makes me gag.

Ugh I am repulsed reading all of the answers and feeling queasy. Thanks alot! LOL!
horrible farts
nasty dog poop
sour vomit
kickin bad breath
rotten meat
hard boiled eggs
super strong fish market smell

Eww. What a revolting topic, I felt compelled in an awful sort of way to answer.

Here is list of the ones that really drive me crazy. I have a really sensitive nose so many things smell bad to me but these are the ones I find particularly offensive.

- tuna or canned chicked (both smell the same to me) I won't allow either to be opened or eaten in the house or around me
- puke ....will about send me hurling everytime...
- bad breath or cigarette mouth/stink
- ANY kind of fish cooked or raw (can't even stand to walk by that aisle in the grocery store...so nasty!!)
- wet dog, dog breath, or the worst of all....dog farts!
- hard boiled eggs

pills. IDK why when I was pregnant with my daughter ans was getting sick constnatly I couldn't walk down a medicine aisle without getting sick. It;s not as bad but stil makes M. nauseous

Any kind of cigarette smoke, stale, fresh, on clothes, on breath, wherever I hate it!

The musky smell people get when they've gotten a little sweaty or hot. (This one nearly killed me when I was pregnant).

Bad breath

Old lady perfume

I could go on for days because I'm really sensitive to smell but the ones that get me the most are people sweaty/BO type smells. Those do me in!

my dogs poop
my cats vomit
body odor
sweaty sneakers
my husbands farts
old grease

Ever since I was pregnant with my daughter, I cant stand the smell of peppermint. She is 7 now.

Black licorice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gingivitis smell, gross!!
Cilantro
Onion breath
Diaper pail
Musty clothes that sat in the washer for too long

Olives - the smell makes me gag EVERY time. Acually we had friends over the other day and we had a bunch of appetizers going, I took these chicken apps out of the oven and was complaining of this horrible, stomach turning smell in my kitchen. Then I read the box and saw that one of them was a mediterannian thing and I automatically went ok there must be olives in there. Then my pregnancy brain kicked in and I proceeded to dive into the plate without a second thought and took a huge bite of one of the ones with olives - Boom I was in the bathroom so fast - My guests said they have never seen a pregnant girl move that fast.

Ohh I agree with you. I was raised and still am semi vegetarian. My husband asked me to cook beef stew from his mothers recipe, bought the stew meat, and so I did it. Could have puked while browning it.

the meat and fish isle of the grocery store!

Walking into my house, after someone just cooked broccoli, GROSS!!!!!!!

Dirty sock(s)! yuck! If I smell some any day, I have nightmares filled with that smell!

A lot of 'foreign' odors bother me these days. Like when I took my car in for service and was given a rental. I could not stand the smell of that vehicle's air freshner. It actually bothered my allegies to the point that I checked under the seats to see if I could find the odor. I was glad to get my van back.

Cigarette smell on people's clothing in the store. I swear some people must smoke in a confined space because their clothes wreak.

Alcohol wreaking out of people's pores after a night out. This can also be said when people have too much garlic.

I once bought turkey burgers and did not like the smell of them cooking which colored my opinion of their taste.

Looks like I could go on and on!

Large amounts of ketchup or tomato sauce (as in school cafeteria)
the lotion my mother-in-law wears
cigarette smoke (although I actually kind of like the smell of cigars)
dirty hair or moldy smelling hair

The "pine" scented tree air fresheners for cars and certain (most) bug sprays. I will freak on my husband if he sprays them in the house because the smell lasts for days. I don't get those car air fresheners either. They are so sickeningly strong.

Sauerkraut! I can't stand the smell. Oh, and tuna. Both will make me instantly vomit. My husband loves both of them, and is only allowed to make either one when I am not home, and it's a nice, windy day so all the windows can be opened to get the stink out before I am home.

Skunk! Drives me up a wall in the summer if my windows are open and one sprays...nothing worse then being woken up from that horrid smell!

Also, absolutely hate port-a-potties! Gag!

And the smell that fills the house when you use the self-cleaning oven. It smells poisonous!

Coffee!!! I HATE the smell. I have memories of waking as a child with an empty stomach to coffee smell. For whatever reason, it made me want to vomit. Every time I smell coffee, I think of that. Thank goodness, my husband isn't a coffee drinker. I can't imagine having to smell that every day!!
Cigarette smoke is another. I am actually very sensitive to it and get ill around cigarette smoke.

I hate the smell of fish...and yes that gamey smell of meat! After awhile onion an garlic smells stale and putrid. I also hate bad breath...morning breath...coffee breath.. With the stomach virus in our household going around...so tired of fart and poop smells...I could gag thinking about it LOL!

So before about 6 months ago I would have said black licorice and cigarette smoke. However, we have an elderly dog who has tumors that the vet can't remove on his leg and he wouldn't survive amputation. Long story short...the poor thing has gangrene because the blood couldn't supply the area and the tissue died- worst smell ever!!! I unfortunately smell it daily when I change the bandage and clean his leg.

Blueberry candles! Ugggggg!! I get the extra spit im fixing to puke feeling anytime I smell them. Gross!!

Butter flavored non-stick cooking spray. Ever since my second pregnancy I have not been able to handle this smell and my husband buys it everytime he does the shopping....ugh!

Pepto Bismol
Bananas
urine
old cigarette butts
vomit
and, ever since I was pregnant, chicken cutlet
