    Mould, I’m always surprised at how few people can smell when food is mouldy. I’ve had people insist the smell is a chemical smell, until we’ve found the offending mouldy item (e.g. When someone’s left a cup of coffee on their desk and gone on holiday) and I reap the glory of being right.

      Yeah I feel like i can’t smell a foul old coffee cup better than anyone else, but everyone’s sponges always smell bad to me. I always hate washing a dish at anyone else’s house because the bacteria in their sponge leaves a smell on my hands that doesn’t come off from a normal hand washing or three. Rubber gloves also leave a smell on my hands that will make it difficult for me to sleep that night it smells so strong. Latex ones only, though.
