A little twist from the other post. What smells (other than the universally obvious bad smells) do you hate?

For me, the first one that comes to mind is the smell of syrup. I mean the imitation stuff, not real maple syrup, that my kids put on their pancakes and waffles.

I can eat syrup and I'm fine with it but if it drips on the tablecloth or on their clothes, I smell it and it makes me sick. I have to immediately change the tablecloth or make them change their shirt. Blech!

Editing to add: Baby Food Peaches -- OMGoodness, that smell sickens me! I babysit a baby and when I have to feed him peaches, I gag through the entire feeding.

Wet Cheerios - once they're soggy, I can't deal. My kids have to stay at the table and focus on their Cheerios before the sogginess brings out that crazy odor.

It grosses us all out. Which is too bad, because other than that, I consider Cheerios a great food!

Cooked Bacon. I love bacon but hate the smell that lingers after you cook it.

It's so funny that you mentions this -- my ds will not eat Cheerios because he says they smell like pee!

I am the same way about ketchup. I eat it on rare occasions. And I have no problem if I am eating it, but if someone else is eating it and I smell it, BLECH, it makes me really queasy.
I tell my husband that I can't stand the smell of second hand ketchup

I have a friend who has *stinking horns* growing behind her house. They are some kinda fungus that look like large penises and have a putrid, rotting meat smell that gags me if I get within a few feet of em. She's tried everything to try and get rid of them, even poured bleach on those puppies, but to no avail.

Same for me with ketchup and I just noticed this dislike a few months ago. I LOVE eating it, but after I am eating it, I can't stand the smell of it left out on the plate.

Diesel fuel
the herb Cilantro
Burning Trash
Cigarette Smoke
Burnt Coffee

yellow mustard. I can eat it on a few things but if it gets on my hands or something I am so grossed out by that smell!
Syrup is ok if DS/DH are eating it but once breakfast is over I have to wash the plates ASAP!
My mom was feeding my infant cousin pancakes w/ syrup right before we left for the airport one time and she got it in my hair....the thought of smelling that for the next 24 hours made me want to barf! (I was flying back to Okinawa from Massachusetts , so not a short trip!...I had to use baby wipes to get it out...no time to re-shower)
Rotten potatoes...worst smell EVER!
most cereal smells nasty to me, I rarely eat cereal, and only a few types.
movie popcorn, smells like urine to me.
burning pine needles

Cigarette Smoke
wet dog
My bathroom (after hubby has been in there for a while)
My sister in laws horse barn
anything moldy

Thought of another one.
Microwave popcorn smells to chemically to me. Gives me a headache.

I hate cinnamon. Too spicy smelling.

I hear you on that one. I HATE going into the bathroom after DH has been in there! I think he dies in there on occasion!

I HATE the smell of energy drinks. If someone has one at work, I can smell it before I even see it.

Also hate women who drown themselves in perfume and you can smell them a mile away (or more! LOL)
Gasoline and jet fuel....When DH worked at the local airport his clothes smelled so bad.

Seafood is terrible. I hate it. Honestly, no matter what kind it is, it stinks. Even tuna fish makes me gag. My poor husband has to mix his tuna in the garage when he wants a tuna fish sandwich.

Rose scented or Patchouli perfume.
Yellow flowers of any sort... I'm also 'allergic' to them. They make me sneeze. Bad thing is that yellow flowers are my favorites!
Burned coffee.
Moldy hay.
Mildew.

Cigarette smoke
Heavy perfume
Body odor
Vomit
Menstrual blood
Cooked ground turkey

I have a very strong sense of smell. Lots of things bother me - these are the worst.

OMG.....LMAO. I have got a visual of this, and will now have to google it.

For me, the bad smells are:

wet dog
SIL's house - she put up some kind of paneling and it smells like poop.
Nacho cheese sauce - reminds me of vomit
Cedar trees - they smell like cat urine


ETA: found this on "stinkhorn mushrooms"

alright, here is mine. I am just a substitute teacher---my stinky lot is middle school children-at the end of the day, a lot of them smell like a*s. Not the girls at all, but the boys. They need to bathe a bit more, wash their hair, and wear deodorant. While I love being in the classroom, I often find myself trying not to gag.

Patchouli.

Polo cologne.
