chappy Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 In a Hostel dorm in Hanoi a few years ago, me and two friends. Woke up one morning to the foulest fishy smell, only difference was a new backpack was rested up against one of the beds which had been empty when we went to sleep but there was no owner to be seen. We opened all the windows, told the staff on reception and got out of there as quickly as possible and returned a few hours later. My two friends immediately checked out and moved elsewhere but I was skint and we only had one more night before moving on anyway so decided to stay. Met the owner of the bag and was chatting to him, expecting him to explain and apologise for the smell. When he didn’t I had to bring it up. Turns out he had no sense of smell so didn’t know how putrid it was but had been disappointed when getting off the night bus from Hue to find that his bag had got very wet in the luggage compartment under the bus. It had been next to a polystyrene box transporting fish, which had somehow opened and spilled all over all his belongings. Everything reeked and he didn’t even know, poor guy I reckon it would’ve taken a couple of washes at least to get it all back to normal. TLDR - bad fish juice soaked into an unaware man’s clothes and belongings 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2022 The whole surrounding countryside around the De Mulder glue factory would absolutely reek. There is a beautiful looking canalside pub called The Anchor Inn nearby, looks like a typical great pub with lovely tables by the canal but I was mystified how anyone could sit there. I can only assume they worked at De Mulder. More than once I've followed lorries round there with dead horses body parts flopping over the top.

sidcow Posted July 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2022 Another bad one was a client of mine round Walsall who manufactured meat flavourings. They used to take meat and distill it down to very meat essence. It was hard to walk around the place without gagging. I was amazed they got to operate in a built up area. They did the same for fish in Hull but thank god I never got to go round that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use malt vinegar quite a lot. At Christmas time I also make a jug of pickled cucumber - lovely to munch on in the evening whilst watching rubbish TV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 The burger and hot dog vans outside Villa Park used to whiff like unwashed armpits. Also, onions. I like cooking and use onions a lot, I don't mind the smell at that point, but if it's on my hands I feel ill. So I wear gloves. Last week I did steak and onions, and hours later I could still smell disgusting raw onions (cooked onions I have no problem). I'd forgotten to clean the chopping board properly and the whole house reeked of raw onions. Thankfully bleach spray does the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 There used to be a Subway store in Tamworth that used to make my stomach turn the smell coming out of the front door was so bad. It closed down, wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Anthony Posted July 30, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2022 Lush cosmetics. Actually, the stores. They make me gag. I can smell them from 200 metres away. How anyone can work in there I have no idea. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
