A plastic bag that had been left next to a radiator for eight hours which when opened, had clothes inside that were covered in shit.

Or the time I walked into a bathroom and the bath had been filled with hot water and a combination of various medications.

When I was working somewhere that had pumpkins out for halloween. They were relit every day for a week and eventually I started to notice a funny smell around their area. I tried to find the source everywhere until eventually I took the lid off one of the pumpkins which by now had this warm puddle of goo at the bottom. Stupidly I gave the inside a good sniff and definitely found the source of the smell, I almost vommed there and then. I can't describe the smell but it was vile.

Grease Dumpster at Wendy's.
I worked there when i was in highschool, when the grill buckets got full we would take them out back and dump them in the grease dumpster. Old rotten grease with chuncks of hamburger, a few drowned rats that found their way into the dumpster and couldn't get out along with other unfavorable's that thought they wanted to eat the grease and or scavenge the dead bodies.

And for whatever reason that old grease had a way of clinging to you (at least the smell) *even if you didnt touch it* I remember coming home washing and re washing my uniform and STILL put your nose to it and you could smell it! Thank god, never again!
