We all know that skunks stink and no one cares for that odor at all, but are there other smelly things you can't stand? For me, there are four standouts:
1. Patchouli or musk cologne. I can't stand the smell of that stuff. Smells like musty laundry! One day we were at a restaurant and two ladies sat in a booth behind us and one of them was so drenched in patchouli that I was literally gagging on my food. How could she not tell she had on way too much of that stuff? On the other hand, if I'm in a store or someplace and someone walks by and smells just terrific, I sometimes ask what cologne they are wearing, as I have a hard time sniffing a bunch of colognes in the store and trying to decide what to buy. I rarely wear it, anyway, but it's still nice to have something light and fresh for special occasions.
2. Most men's cologne, especially when they put it on as thick as bear grease. I think a nice, understated aftershave always smells a lot better than men's cologne.
3. Clothes dryer sheets. I use them, and when I'm in the house I don't notice them, but if I have the dryer on and walk outside past the vent, the smell of the dryer sheets is sickening. In the business my husband and I have, I often have to shoot elevations by the houses we are at, and when the person is using the clothes dryer and a fabric softener sheet I can't stand it because I can always smell it coming out of the vent. When we drive our motor scooters to town I can even smell them coming from some of the houses. Driving by a laundromat almost knocks me over.
4. Musty smells. Sometimes we are working by a house that looks pretty dilapidated and when I'm close to the house and smell that musty smell I wonder how awful it must smell INSIDE! At one of our job sites the owner told me to come inside so she could write me a check. The inside of the house smelled as if every part of it was moldy and mildewed. There is just something about that smell that makes me almost gag. I don't know how they could live in a place with that smell.
