You must be bored......

1) Human
2) Cat
3) Dog
4) Hog

In that order. Anything else, I can tolerate.

Was asked to demo an attic in an upscale, older part of Omaha. BATS were getting into the babys room on second floor, and, well, freaking everyone out. Found the entry point, next to the brick chimney, in the 3rd floor attic. I had no clue how bad they smell. My vote would be BAT POO! Greg
 
Well, ashamed to say, but it has to be me the following morning after having the wife's secret recipe venison chili, a few Doritos, and a sampling of buffalo wings with T Marzetti's ultimate blue cheese dressing. Something about that combination, just about peels the wallpaper and honestly makes my eyes water. I swear I think I am gonna make the water in the toilet boil when I have to hit the toilet in the am. terrible, just wrong.
After that horrid odor I would have to say a small operator farrowing barn that doesn't have the best manure management practices.
Next would have to be my fine 100% breeder poop that has been sitting in a pile for a few months and in the spring that heap is dug into and spread. All in all it still smells better than some of the cologne some guys wear.
 
There is a guy not far from me that has turkeys. In the summer, I can drive by and see the manure piles with a dead turkey or two mixed in. I can not get by his place fast enough. Cattle or even hogs do not compare.
 
Years ago neighbors had a veal barn. About once a year they would pump out the underground manure pit and spread on the hay fields.That was pretty rank.
 
I could give you my mother in laws phone number, you can vist her and then decide for yourself.

I think she is under the assumption it doesn't stink however.

Human food with all the goodies digested is pretty high on the scale. Over the pond they have no septic system so it had to be burned and stired.

I stood in the front row three days in a row thinking they would pick a different row the next day. The front row was where they assumed the volenteer crap burners stood. I was trying to over think the issue.

I was in a basement of a lived in house, over thirty cats, and three large dogs were kept in the basment 24/7. approx eight inches of damp litter, no bedding at all, and must of had a rich diet in fish products. Walking into the house help prepare you for the basment journey, making it some what less discusting.

I could not ask the guys to go down there, so I repaired the water pipe myself. I found out over the years that two other plumbers were at the house, but refused to go into the basment untill it was cleaned up. It was one of those jobs that you did not stand back and admire your work for long.
 
Years ago, when we still had hogs in the area, a local guy fed discarded products from the Gilster plant. They made cake mixes, flour, and puddings, and I suppose sometimes something went wrong with the recipe and the mix was not up to spec. He said the worst smell was from hogs fed on Tapioca pudding. It was like nothing I'd ever smelt before. . .

Couple years ago, I sniffed a discarded gasoline jug (what a fool!) that the neighbor found in my woods. It had been used in a meth making operation. Whatever was in that jug ruined my sense of smell. I miss smelling hot biscuits and stuff like that, but I must admit, sometimes it's a blessing to have no working smeller.

By the way - please remember - NEVER sniff a found jug containing an unknown liquid. It was like breathing fire, and within about a minute I couldn't feel my hands or feet. My heart felt like it was running a hundred miles an hour. I guess it drives the oxygen from your lungs?? I called the sheriff and they predicted I'd die before help could arrive. Obviously I didn't die, I must have gotten too small a dose to be fatal. I felt like a fool - they had passed out info at work warning us not to do just what I had done. If you see duct tape around a nozzle on a gas jug, or around a hose in a 2 litre soda jug, DON"T SNIFF THE CONTENTS! It could be fatal.

Ate half a gallon of pickled hard boiled eggs once. Couldn"t stand to be around myself. Wall paper in the bathroom faded fast for some reason.
 
Year or so ago our neighbor came across some turkey litter somebody needed to get rid of. Long story, but the pile had also been used for disposal of birds (many birds). Some if it he spread next to our place. Talk about a mess, every carion eating critter known to me came out of the woodwork after that. I have about 600 feet of board fence that adjoins this field and every 8 foot section had 2-3 buzzards sitting on it waiting their turn at the feast. There is a four sided cell tower about 1/2 a mile down the road and it looked like a solid monolith of some sort due to all the birds sitting it.

All lasted 2-3 days, then it was over, but that was about the worst since we could not really get away from it.

Can't answer about the poo but, had come back from upper Michigan salmon fishing and had cleaned them and had the fish guts and remains in a big green trash bag to put in the barrel and forgot it till the next day...warm weather too! As my brother came into work I happened to think of it and he volunteered to take them out. When he came back he was all teary eyed wiping his mouth and nose...(Must have been on a good drunk over the weekend) cause I knew he had thrown up! I headed out of the weld shop over into the machine shop and shortly later I heard the trash truck pull up and stop. I walked to a door where I could see my brother and the trash truck too and my brother was peekin around a corner watching the guy on the back of the truck reaching up and taking hold of that big green bag. He actually let go of it and ran! The driver had to throw it in the packer and 'ol Cork was grinnin from ear to ear. I never told him I was watchin cause he'd probably have given me a cussin for it. Well, I had tears in my eyes from all the laughing I got out of this....I think of the fellows who have experienced this smell, not too much that can be worse. ohfred
 
Horse or Dog,Its a toss up.I suppose its what your used to around your farm.My clothes always smell like cattle and hogs so I dont mind it,but I'll toss my cookies trying to clean up a horse trailer or dog pen
 
Actually it is very tractor related. You must have never had to clean corrals or drove a tractor over a fresh one. My dad told me of the time my grandpa fertilized his lawn with Pig ---t and it stunk to high heaven. When the poultry farms spread manure it's pretty rank! Dave
 
Neighbor got a semi load of turkey. Smelled worse than the liquid hog I was getting spread on my hayland. I vote for turkey!
 
Hello plow hand,
An inclosure where goats and sheeps are kept in.
Just trying to inject some humor!
