Day Twenty-seven Silly Question

[tripperfunster]

So, uh ... smells. What do you like? What do you hate? But just to make this interesting, I want to know what UNUSUAL things you like and hate. Most people hate the smell of dirty ass, but like fresh baked apple pie (and if you think differently, I"m not sure I want to know about it ...)


Me, I HATE the smell of tires. I cannot walk by the new bicycle section in Wal-mart or the actual car tire section at Costco or Canadian Tire without gagging. We even sell these dog toys called Tire Biters, and yeah, you guessed it, GAG! I refuse to unpack them and price them.

Bonus hate: Perfume. well, most of it. Even if I like the smell, it tends to make me nauseous.


Love: Call me crazy, but I quite like the smell of pig shit and cow shit. Not in an 'Imma make some fabric softener out of it and put it on my clothes' kind of way, but a nice clean barn with some fresh shit smells really good to me. Like outdoors and country. Probably a throw back from visiting my Grandparent's farm as a kid.

I also really love the smell of fresh hay. It IS a nice smell, but I'm guessing most people wouldn't have had the oppourtunity to enjoy it much.

AND YOU????

Hate: cinnamon airfresheners, fruit airfresheners in bathroom (fruity-ass... Classy) vomit, moldy towels, blueberry anything, urine, houses that are full of cats/dogs and unkept, raw chicken, dirty sitting dishes, someone who's been by a fryer too long, dining hall dumpsters, new asphalt, anything in my fridge....

Love: wet, old air conditioners - especially in cars or the window box kind, cheap motel (i LOVE this smell!!) old casinos, my moms perfume/my mom in general, museum smell, elementary school cafeteria, old old perfumes, church on Christmas, fake new car smell, old car exhaust (way to kill brain cells!) my daughter - even when she's sweaty and gross, fancy expensive gentlemen's cologne, the laundry exhaust shoot on houses, bathwater.

that airconditioner thing is HILARIOUS! I don't really have any feels about it either way, but I know exactly the smell that you're talking about. Why do you think you love it so much?

I HATE new car smell. I am aghast that people actually BUY car fresheners with that odour. I'd prefer ASS .
