something's burning, no smoking dammit..

Lost a good deal of my ability to smell,so not much gets to me.
 
Burning gasoline isn't a very nice smell either.
 
Driving home this afternoon, I noticed my neighbor's sewer clean out seems to have overflowed into the street. Not sure about the smell. I had the windows up and set the A/C to recirculate

I choke on both turbine exhaust and cheap (or too much of any) perfume.

Man, you had to remind me.

I smelled that when I had lasik done. They took my left eye from about 20/800 to 20/20...about 75% of the way I smelled burning flesh.

That was the only thing that "got to me" about the whole procedure.
 
Interesting I think.. The only smell that will make me gag (so far) is Tomato Juice.
How the heck people can drink V8 or Bloody Mary's?

Salsa, Maranara, etc. No issue. V8, get it away from me.

Food wise, for me it's cilantro, and there can be 1 leade in a room and I have to walk out.

Is a V6 ok by you?

That part of it didn't bother as much as the thought of that big extender thing stuck in my eye socket.

Obviously there are certain things that you won't do at certain times.
 
I love the smell of napalm in the morning...and it's been three years...

If it smelled like V-8, I wouldn't be doing that at any time.:lol:
 
Eskimo that have been in fish camp all summer eating dried fish and seal oil, and haven't bathed since spring.

I have had it all, gangrenous infections, decaying dead bodies, loaded diapers left in seat backs, muc tuk (raw whale blubber), workers that were working on the ruptured sewage system all week, honey buckets, but dried fish and seal oil poo will hit my gag reflex, even while flying.
 
The worst smell for me is a dead human body. I've smelled one too many of those. Hopefully never again.

After 16 years of hospital-based nursing ... it would take a lot to impress me. Colostomy or ileostomy drainage can be noxious under the right circumstances. Depending on diet and individual metabolism, emesis can be troublesome.
I suppose the 'worst smell' when "concern about the consequences" is also factored in is hematochezia, the passage of fresh blood rectally along with feces. That will curl your nose hairs and it often does not bode well for the individual involved.
(While my practice was all adult patients, my wife was a pediatric nurse, and could walk down the infant hall of a children's hospital and tell you what antibiotics the kids were on just by the smell coming from the rooms.)

You want a ride...:dunno::dunno::dunno: Bring CASH.....:)

Ok, I will keep the kids. And since you don't want them, that legally establishes common purpose.

I will definitely pay you to give me a ride in your aeroplane. And since I am also a pilot, I would not be considered a passenger which also makes it legal.

Proof would be in the news report following an incident where they would say "the other occupant of the tiny Cessna was also a pilot"

No mention of passenger. So you are not carrying passengers. Totally legal.
 
I'm not fond of spilled or leaking hydraulic fluid, but one smell I can't forget is antifreeze dripping onto a hot, running engine. One hole in a nose (whether 2 miles from home, on the way to work, or 5 hours away on a Sunday in nowhere, Virginia; both are equally unpleasant) and you'll never forget it, either.

Smells that bother me are burning wires, boiling greens and cooked broccoli. Cleaning out chicken houses that recently had 50,000 hens running around makes me gag and retch uncontrollably; you load the truck, I'll unload it.
 
Dead bodies. God bless the people that have to work intimately with dead bodies on a daily basis. They earn every single penny of their pay.
 
The aviation related smell I hate is the smell of burnt carbon brushes from an old inverter. Its actually kind of a "love-hate" thing.

I had one go on Huey during during my navy crew chief days. The smell made me queasy. But, the result was some extra time in Oahu.
 
Went to my hunting cabin one day in the summer and discovered my freezer had given up the ghost with about 60 pounds of elk and deer meat in it. Everything had melted into a large gelatinous mass, had to toss the fridge. No matter how much Cleaning, bleaching and airing out nothing would kill that smell..

That was recently proven to be a genetic thing. There is a "cilantro" gene.

There clearly is a pro-cilantro gene too. I just made a batch of guacamole, and cilantro is an essential ingredient in it. I love that stuff.

I remember that smell during my vasectomy. I tried to lighten the mood, and asked, "Hey Doc, what's cooking?". He didn't laugh.
