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????

this is fun! i love these questions and reading others answers

so mine,

love: parking garages (idk if its the carbon monoxide, but i just love the smell, and sometimes enclosed concrete staircases smell like it too, but obviously not as authentic as the garage), when i was a kid i used to sniff sharpie ink on paper and would love the smell of gasoline, i also love the smell when water gets on hot asphalt, like when you wash your car yummm! and whatever my mom uses on her face is just one of the loveliest smells in the world, and its on her pillows too so they smell really good (yes i am a mama's girl), oh and the smell of my dogs paws, like sometimes i will kinda kiss them which i realize thats kinda gross, but i don't care! and weirdly i think, i like my own bodily smells, which idk if that is actually weird at all since you would think your own scents are nice since they are yours and all

what i hate: dirty dog, like when you pet a dog and then your hand stinks, i hate that! also, cigarette smoke makes me sick and i hate it. and that is all i can think of now, obviously i like more smells than i hate ;)

Oh yes, that oily, dirty dog smell is gross. Often it depends on the breed, but sometimes it's just when they live outside.
