I’m not talking smells that are commonly held as disgusting (vomit, poop, BO, etc.). What smell makes you gag but doesn’t bother most people?

For me, it’s yogurt. I can’t stand the smell of it, regardless of flavor. Of course, my son loves it.

I’ll second yogurt. It stinks. There’s a woman around here that wears some floral smelling perfume. Whenever she walks past my desk, I can’t help but have a coughing fit.

Hi-C, but then again being knees deep in a dumpster filled with rancid Hi-C in the middle of July would do that to most people I think.

Dalmades. Minty, oily little rolls of grape leaves leave me feeling icky. Also canned chicken soup before it’s heated.

Shellfish. I love all other seafood, but can’t stand the smell of shellfish.

My mom used to collect shells, so when we would go to Florida, she would comb the beach for shells. Sometimes the shells would still have critters in them, so she would boil them to get them out. The condo stunk of shellfish, and to this day I can’t stand that smell.

Back in college I worked at a Minute Maid plant in Hightstown, NJ. One day a bigwig Coke executive came by to inspect the facility and noticed that the Hi-C had been disposed of in the “wrong dumpster” so I was the poor bastard who had to go in there and fish it out so as to put it in the “correct dumpster”. It was vile and Hi-C is vile.

Olives. The smell is nowhere near as bad as the horrendous taste, but the smell of those little devil foods makes me want to set my nose hair on fire cause I’d rather smell burnt hair than olives.

Probably Axe Body spray. Or any sort of aerosol air freshener. Especially if its air freshener mixed with poop to try and “mask” it. I would rather it just smell like poop in the bathroom!

As for the opposite, I quite love the smell of diesel fumes, tire smoke, hot oil, gasoline, and whatever that grease is that trains use, freshly driven on tracks always smell good.

hate coconut in general including the smell when they are cracked open. But I also dislike the taste. I don’t know why I just never did. I can tolerate a strawberry, broccoli or whatever just don’t bring coconuts around me (ladies if you want some dude to hook up with you find out the food smell they do like and spray it on you like perfume :P)

Chobani yogurt smells disgusting, yet I eat it and think it tastes fine. I am very sensitive to odor and have a quick gag reflex. Cat poop, skunk, dog fart, baby poop, all set me off. Cigarette smoke also really bothers me.

Instead of wiping my kids butt I would just hold them in the shower with my head on the other side of the curtain.

For the record, that grease that trains use on the rails is nasty AF, and damn near impossible to remove. I don’t mind the smell, though- and with you 100% on diesel fumes, gasoline, etc.

Anytime I’m drinking apple cider (or a strong batch of apple juice), if I somehow happen to think about vinegar, then that’s what my cider will suddenly taste like in my mouth. It can happen if I notice a bottle of it across the kitchen, or read it in a cookbook, or if someone randomly happens to mention it in conversation. I don’t even have to smell it! All I have to do is think about vinegar, and the cider in my mouth is no longer cider to me. Yuck.

Haha thats why I definitely think the grease is an odd one to like how it smells. Its definitely hazardous. Not really sure what the hell it is but its very distinctive. Its usually how I figure out if a rail line is active or not while wandering around in the woods.

The smell gives me an immediate migraine and leaves a sharp sour taste in the back of my mouth.

My complaint was always that I couldn’t get it out of my clothes - EVER. I used to work in the industry, for a wheel manufacturer. So I spent a lot of time in rail yards, etc., handling wheels covered in the crap. I don’t actually remember a smell, though, TBH (it’s been 16 years).

Squash casserole. My mom makes it every Thanksgiving and Christmas and I can’t be in her house while she’s cooking it. It’s a horrendous stench that makes me nauseous and gives me a headache. Thankfully my wife and kids can’t stand it as well, so we collectively find some excuse to not be at her house while she’s cooking, lol.

Thing is, I still love apple cider. If I do think about vinegar, I can still finish my glass without gagging. But I won’t pour myself another.

I totally forgot about hard cider! Mmm, haven’t had one of those in a while...

Newspaper

Before I had any real job I helped roll papers for a guy who had a route. He got the stacks of papers, and advertising inserts, and the bags. I sat in the back of the van and put them together rolled, stuffed in bag then chucked up front. I can’t stand it now and that was 20 or so year ago

I work in restaurant, we get our mayo in 5 gallon buckets. A co-worker had to open a new buck for 3 cups of mayo for recipe. Later that day I need about 3.5 gallons of it for recipe. For some reason he put it on a high shelf in the walk in fridge. I get it down, then the lid come of the bucket & 5 gallons of mayo spill all over me. Co-worker did not put the lid on completely. I’m covered head to toe in mayo, I look like the deflated michelin man. It’s every where, on the floor, roll rack, shelves, giggling like funny tasting jello. I yell the co-workers name, he come running looked at me & asked what just happen. I tell him what do you fucking think. Then every body comes looks, my boss laughs his ass off then tells me to go home to clean up. One issue, I commute. So we go outside, my boss hoses me off & throws me a towel. To the day I can’t stand the smell of mayo.

Nope, can’t do it. The only time I can handle them in the ones I didn’t find to pick off of the pizza cause the rest of the topping hide their flavor enough to enjoy it.

French onion soup. There was always a pot simmering while I was working the line in the Tuck Shop back at UPJ, and the smell got worse as the night wore on.

The artificial fragrances in fabric softener, some laundry detergent, and those godawful plug-in air “fresheners.” And people who smell like it. It’s nauseating and it gives me a rash. I can’t stand that aisle in the grocery store. Also, why would you want to walk around smelling like an artificially-lemon-scented chemical plant, or make it so you can’t actually taste anything in your home?

Shrimp.

I never was a shrimp-eater, but the smell wasn’t too bad... until the day my horrific dental hygiene practices started to catch up with me (I was probably 11-12? can’t remember). Both my front teeth rotted away from the gum-line... I’m talking deep holes. Because they were right at the front I could smell the decay very easily. They smelled like shrimp for some reason (at least, that’s the closest smell I could think of). So, the shrimp platter can GTFAC.

Fabric softener. Over use of it.

I have a coworker that doesn’t seem to do laundry like normal people. He just hits yesterday’s shirt with enough fabric softener (sheets i’m guessing) that you can smell which room he was in a good 10 minutes after he’s gone. By Wednesday he just looks and smells a wreck with dirt/grease/sweat stains. It’s disgusting. I’m starting to think he only owns one shirt.
