Some smells that I really can't stand are cut grass, mulch, oranges, smoke or anything burnt, and pretty much any chemical fumes. What about you? What smells do you absolutely hate?

Chemical fumes for sure! Along with that, wet dog (or any other animal for that matter), body odor, sweaty shoes/socks, urinal deodorizers. The worst for me is durian - either you love it or hate it. I hate it with a passion.

Oh yea body odor is a big one. I actually know someone that is mentally ill and rarely showers. I cannot get anywhere near him without feeling like I am going to vomit. Needless to say I see him as little as possible.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about durian... It takes real guts to even look at one, as they have got to be the ugliest, smelliest fruit, this side of the Omniverse! :)

I forgot about body odor also. I had a student who just never seemed to take a shower. Other students complained about him. I think he finally got the idea that he needed to shower every day after several male teachers talke with him.

Absolutely do not agree with diesel fumes and harsh chemical smells and I avoid getting blasted by cut grass, which makes me sneeze like crazy, and as a guy, I'd like to say to you Ladies... Nature made you to smell great without a bucket of perfume! :) Expert Village for you! :) http://www.expertvillage.com

Yeah the cut grass thing makes me sneeze a lot too. It's one of my worst allergies. I'm totally with you on the perfume thing, I count that under the chemical fumes category.

I hate the smell of vanilla. It makes me feel like I did when I had morning sickness 20 years ago. I also hate the smell of burnt popcorn. There are 2 people where I work who love to burn popcorn...and EAT it! It makes me SICK!
