The worst smell I’ve ever encountered was when my friend’s winter coat got soaked in cat piss. Boyyy, we had so much fun holding back our vomit that day. It was the only coat he had for the frozen weather. We actually agreed on burning his coat when we got back to his house, but on our way back we got some powerful detergent. He wasn’t impressed with his cat. I can assure you. LOL

And also all the folks who keep it working. It may be a dirty and smelly job, but still one of the most important. If those sewers broke/leaked, clogged or what ever the fuck, we'd have some serious trouble.

The nastiest odor I've ever endured was from the air in industrial northern New Jersey in the late 1940s and early 1950s. There were, among other things, chemical factories belching pollution into the air constantly. If this stench had a color it would be a bruised grayish-purple surrounded by alternating bands of neon bilious green and diarrhea brown. Whatever was floating in that air caused my nose to swell shut so I couldn't breathe through it. Mouth breathing means that you don't filter out what you draw into your lungs. It also means that you don't smell the odor, you taste it. They're right when they say that whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger if I'm still around to complain about it.

The worst smell I ever encountered occurred when I worked at a Wal-mart more than a decade ago. I was a "Floor Maintenance Associate," which is Wal-mart-ese for "Janitor". One of my duties was to scrub the floors. To do this, the location I worked at had a Zamboni style, drivable scrubbing machine. This was nice, as it gave me a chance to sit down and work hard at the same time. All the undesirable substances the machine scrubbed went into a waste tank, along with the soapy water that had been used in the scrubbing. Every time I used the machine, I carefully drained and rinsed the waste tank, which was unpleasant, but bearable. One week, however, I went on vacation. When I got back, I found that the machine had been used, but the waste tank had not been rinsed, or even drained. I expected it to be bad, but it was orders of magnitude worse than I had anticipated. The stench when I opened the tank of week-old Wal-mart floor waste fit Disraeli's description of the Great Stink perfectly! I had to run from the room to keep my lunch from coming back up. I got the manager on duty and had her come into the room. I didn't have to say a word to make my point!

Worst smell I’ve ever encountered was when I went to my church’s day camp. My stepdad was a janitor for a pretty large church. Basically on the first day of the day camp, they were told to clear out the kitchen for lunch. Unknowingly, they opened the fridge which erupted the most horrible rotting flesh smell I have ever smelled. Turns out, it was old turkey leftover from the Christmas production the year before. They turn the power off to that part of the building each winter until summer camp begins the next year. It had been rotting for a solid 6 months. Fyi this takes place in Alabama. Just imagine the heat and stench coming from that entire wing of the church. I’m gagging just thinking about it.

Worst smell definitely when my brother and I were walking along a disused train track and found a suitcase laying on the track. We laughed about and kicked it abit till my brother went to click it open. As soon as it opened a bunch of flies buzzed out and the smell of the dead dog inside it hit us and we both vommed. We legged it home and told our mum who told us not to go back there. I can still smell it now in the nose memory. Foul.

I love this channel. Your videos just happen to show up right when I am about to go to sleep, which I have no problem with. It's like listening to your grandma reading books for you again.

I find it mindboggling that nobody thought dumping sewage into the water you drink was a bad idea. Why not just drink your sewage then?

I love waking up to watching weird stinky stuff! Hahahaha.

I once spent an entire evening in a Gasthaus in Germany, drinking aged German dark beer, while eating one pickled egg, after another. After I Eventually returned home, I was craving something sweet and the only thing that we had was a plum pie. I ate half of it. The next morning when I got up, I went into the kitchen, sat down and let out a fart so abominably rancid, that it would have ran rats off of a garbage barge. My wife actually threw up on the spot, right into a sink full of freshly cleaned dishes. Epic.

Worst smell ive ever smelt was a family of dead possums that got trapped in my great grandfather's house walls. They'd been there in the summer heat for months probably and he had no sense of smell so he had no idea. It was so powerful it felt like someone threw battery acid in my eyes and I had to throw up almost right away

Not mentioned here but when Joseph was designing his new sewers he actually made them far larger than anyone else said they needed to be, large enough to fit a population many dozens of times more than Londons current population. Why? because he forsaw London would undergo an enormouse population boom in the coming decades and centuries. This is why it's still in use to this day. There are not many who would have that kind of foresight back in those days/

18 days to solve a problem that people warned about years and years before. SMH.

The worst smell I can remember was when I traveled to India. I was walking through the streets in New Delhi; that oppressive heat and humidity, with piles of garbage and raw sewage around us, was awful. It's the only time I have ever come close to throwing up because of a smell.

I am from mountains in the northwest of the United States. I traveled the country only one time and I never took for granted our crystal clear rivers (and even some lakes). Some places the rivers look so disgusting that I couldn't imagine touching them let alone eating or drinking anything from them...

Just found this channel. I subscribed after viewing this. I am excited to view previous and new ones.

the worst thing i’ve ever smelled are my school’s bathrooms. they literally never get cleaned. they probably do, but only around once every 2 months or so. every time i used it, it had the same smell it always had. wet shit.

The system is creeking now but that doesn't detract from Bazalgette's achievement. The UK regularly has sewage entering it's rivers and coastline. The sewage works at Erith were one of the first places that we had to visit during college.

I listened more than I watched your videos...... You're the best narrator I have met 🤘👌 I am a fan.

The worst smell I ever encountered was my niece’s first poopy diaper right after she started on solid foods. I refused to change her diapers after that. Let the parents do it!

Have to say, rotten wet cat food is about the worst thing I've ever smelled. Previously frozen fish meat in a hot trash can sitting stagnet for a few days kinda tied with the cat food. Durian fruit smells real bad, too, but it's bearable.

The worst smell I have ever come across was in New Orleans ,after Katrina. I was working in the Uptown area doing Demolition and reconstruction. When people left their homes they didn't clean their refrigerators out for many many months sometimes not at all. And quite a few times the refrigerators would get opened while moving them out . Its not a smell that is describable ,if only to say its quite horrible.

Im loving all the hard work you are putting into producing the vids big thumbs up 👍👍. Would really like to see something from my small but great nation NZ. From our late discovery 250 years ago roundabout, to the signing of the treaty to how we as a nation started. ( Rugby) lol big one, plus or work to protect the southern sea, an just everything u can find out to brake it down. Thanks bro!!

The worst smell I have ever encountered was people smelling like they haven’t showered for days. I work at a grocery store and have had customers coming in smelling like BO it is disgusting! I definitely don’t think I could live in the 1800s are used to think I wanted to but after seeing how they live I don’t think I would ever want to! It makes me definitely appreciate the era that I live in.

The sewers are still in use, but nowadays they have to send crews down occasionally to break up "fatbergs" which are congealed masses of trash and fats. Also, probably the worst thing I ever smelled was the trash compactor at this hotel I worked at. It sat outside and all the kitchen trash was thrown in there, it would bake in the sun and smell like deaths asshole. Not to mention the constant swarm of bees.

I grew up in Woodbury NJ. Around 1965 the Woodbury creek got pretty putrid for a while there. At one point a whole gang of fish all died, and piled up for us to see and smell. They must have taken care of it, because after that, it was never that bad again.

When I visited London as a child and they told my the Thames was toxic I was sad and didn’t understand how it could still be poisonous. Now that I’m older… I shudder since I’m pretty sure this is one of the worst biologically man made disasters (ie no oil spills or chemical disasters) in history.

Thanks for another good one, Stank History!

The Palace of Westminster was hardly a 'new' home for Parliament. In fact, they had sat in Westminster for 500 years, but the old Palace burned in 1834 and they had just moved into the new building. I wonder how they handled the stench for those five centuries.
