Aversion to Stinky Shoes?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you have an aversion to stinky shoes? I do. They smell like the god of all that is foul and putrid came down from the dump to place his rotting scent in those shoes! I had a roommate in college who would take his four-year-old shoes off every night and set them on top of his dresser. They stunk up the whole room! It made going to sleep a nightmare!

Anyway, I was wondering how common this hypersensitivity is among other people who have Asperger's syndrome. I think it might just be me.

I am hypersensitive, but not so much with smells. Mostly with sound and feel. Stinky shoes bother me about the same as most people.

My husband is a removal man. He spends a long time, walking, carrying heavy items, in his shoes. They stink.

You can get shoe deodorant, which you can spray in people's shoes when they are not looking (or into your own).

I have an aversion to ALL shoes!

I would love to find a person that is attracted to stinky feet/shoes. I've met more people with an aversion than an attraction to them... and that's not a strictly AS or strictly NT thing.

Would you believe there's a contest for this?

I avoid stinky shoes by wearing open-healed Birkenstocks.

I despise dirty socks though.

smelly feet or shoes are putrid. but then, i have a thing about smells, full stop. both myself and my mother have "noses like bloodhounds", so christ knows what i'd be like if i didn't smoke. the merest hint of a chemical "air freshener" (abomination) or cleaner and i'm itching.

i enjoy many decidedly disgusting odors. body odor of many kinds, gasoline, skunk, blood, pus, ect. In extreme doses it is overwhelming but a little bit at a time, i like to stim with actually.

I hate the smell of stale urine even more than stinky feet. Also, my sense of smell is so acute, I can get out of the lift and go to a different floor in my building and smell stale farts in the airconditioning (another smell I don't like).

However, I like the smell of nail polish/nail polish remover and some kinds of glue and will sniff them a bit (not to get high but just to get a small whiff of them)

I don't know what a skunk smells like but am told it is really bad like something died.

The smell of skunk at ground 0 is exactly the same odor as emited by a big mac which has been left in your desk drawer for exactly 2 weeks.

Nomaken, that's gross. I wonder if it would be the same as or worse than, some prawns left in a desk for 2 weeks. I certainly don't like the smell of dead things - even a dead little mouse stinks out a whole house and dead toads and frogs are stenchy!

Yes. Yes it is. But it is funny as hell trying to escort that big mac OUT of the house after the two weeks.
Advice: WHATEVER you do, do NOT open the bag. I don't care if you die on the way out of the house holding your breath, it is a better fate.

But wouldn't someone have started complaining about the smell well before the 2 weeks was up? and how would you forget you had a big mac in your desk?

I suppose the worst similar thing I can think of was when mum accidentally dropped a piece of raw fish in a kitchen drawer one Friday night.

By Monday, the smell was overwhelming and when we found it, it was only quite a small piece. The weather wasn't even very hot at the time and it had gone really rotten in just 2 1/2 days. I'd hate to think what a dead body would smell like.

I also don't like the smell of some perfumes that some women wear (especially old ladies). Maybe they have gone rancid because they've been kept on the dresser for a few years but some of these perfumes smell like poo!

Maybe the shops should have some kind of promotion where people can turn in their old perfume and get a discount off a new bottle. Anything that would get some of those stinky old perfumes off the streets would be good.

I like citrus and fruity scents and could get high on some aftershaves like Brut 33.

before the 2 weeks, the smell is inside the bag and inside the drawer, after 2 weeks, it begins to leak outside of the drawer. And i didnt forget, i was just lazy and didnt want to throw it out.
