once in the summer the freezer in my flat somehow became unplugged, i don't know how this happens without someone moving it.
a smell had begun to rise through the flat, and when i confronted it, it was because my flatmate had a lot of fish wrapped in tinfoil in there.
i wanted to cry it smelled so bad, and almost laugh at the same time, i was screaming.

one time I entered the house during the blistering heat of the summer to an overwhelming aroma that made me nauseous and wanting to vomit.
as I got closer to my bathroom, it was enough to make me keel over. and I realized on entering what it was.
Someone, presumably from my roommate's family, had taken a shit, clogged the toilet and let it sit for 9-10 hours. I was so fucking pissed. had to plunge it while holding my nose and trying not to throw up.

there was a horrible smell in the grocery store yesterday and i think it was because they'd set up a propane bbq (for free samples of some sort) and something was amiss. five minutes after i walked by, i went by again and it was gone. half the store smelled so weird, the kind of smell that is bad yet hard to place, so i was both trying not to breathe deeply and yet trying to figure out what the horrible smell was and so, breathing deeper. eesh.

xp Actually I remember when the windscreen on my old car leaked and rainwater got in, pooling in the passenger side footwell, and that stunk bad enough. I can't (or at least don't want to) imagine how bad milk would stink up a car.

the only logical thing to do is to find something even smellier to mask the milk smell

Just don't wash, like, ever again.

Also, put used burger wrappers all over the floor of the car to soak up the milk.

There was an episode of Car Talk from a while back in which a guy called in to ask how to get rid of the smell of rancid butter that had melted into the heating ducts in his car. It was pretty funny.

The odor that you may smell on the 9th floor is due to an oil delivery to the building early this morning. I have spoken to the building security and they have checked our floor and now that the ventilators are running – the odor should be eliminated shortly.
If you have any problems, please see me at once.
