What’s the worst thing you’ve smelled…..?

At the very end of the day today, I had to go collect a moose carcass from the side of the highway.
Got there, jumped out of the truck, walked over to it to assess the equipment we would need, and only then, as I got nearer, could I see the open and exposed underbelly (animals had been picking at it) and I caught a whiff of [b][i]the smell[/i][/b] of this beast!
It had clearly been laying there mangled, twisted and stewing in the sun for a few days 🤮

The smell worsened significantly as we disturbed it and winched it up onto the truck bed.
Uggghhhhh
I can still smell it in my nostrils 😣😣

I used to live in a small apartment building. The boys who lived upstairs kept a trash barrel right outside the back door, and didn't seal it properly. All winter it sat there and stewed. It got filled up with water, it froze, then, the next summer, it started stinking to high heaven. The boys simply [i]would not[/i] touch it or dump it, so it took the delicate little lady who lived downstairs to do their dirty work.

I overturned the barrel onto the lawn. The water drained out onto the grass. The stench that emerged was not to be described. I said to myself...God, and the fresh air, and the earth will...eventually...take care of it. BUT there was a big garbage bag inside.

My big mistake was in not leaving it out on the lawn, also, to de-stink itself. It was crawling with maggots. But I was afraid animals would get into it and scatter it...and that would be worse.

So I put on rubber gloves, spread a tarp out in my trunk in my car, and got the bag into my trunk.

By the time I got to the dump, the bag had leaked rotten maggoty effluvia all over the tarp, and then that had leaked onto the carpet in my trunk.

I had to pay $125.00 to have the trunk of my car oxygenated to kill the stink, and the carpet had to be Natures Miracled. Loads of fun.
