"Dude smell this!"

This particular scenario happens to each and everyone of us at least three times a year. I am talking about when someone has something that smells terrible and entices you to also take part in smelling the terrible smell.

Many times the individual will smell the item right in front of you. I cannot say how many times someone has taken off their shoe and smelt it exclaiming, "Wooah holy fuck that smells terrible...smell this."

"No."

"Dude smell this"

"No I'm not going to smell that."

I love how sometimes they even get angry that you won't smell it.

"Dude just fucking smell it don't be a bitch."

"Fine."

Most times I do end up being forced into smelling it.

A few months back my roommate Josh had a bottle with milk in it that had been sitting out in the room and it was sealed for about 23 days. Now I knew that there was milk in the container, and I am no scientist but I know what happens to milk if it is left unrefrigerated for weeks at a time...it gets rotten and smells like shit. Well, when Josh decided to open this particular bottle of aging milk he also decided to give it the smell test, thus it immediately caused him to gag and proclaiming how bad that smells. Whats next? He promptly starts to graciously invite me to take part in this bad smell.

All the negative things I know about the milk before smelling it:

• I know that it has been out of the fridge for over a month.
• I know that it is in a dark container, a place were mold thrives.
• I know that the container is sealed thus no venting of smell has been allotted.
• I know that under these conditions milk smells like shit after time.
• I know that judging on his reaction, the last thing that I want to do is smell the milk.

...I smelt the milk.

About a week later I made him smell an old salami sandwich that I left in the fridge for awhile...face it we all do it.
