I woke up around 3AM, there was a thunderstorm, lots of rain and lightning. I got up to close the other windows but left the one in my bedroom open. the rain and lightning was keeping me from falling asleep. all of a sudden there was this godawful formaldehyde and sewage smell coming through the window, I'm thinking where the fuck could that come from? no really, wtf? chupacabra? I got scared and unsheathed my knife. (I didn't trust myself with my gun, I didn't want a AD because I'd be on a hair trigger, I was scared, my skin was crawling) what the fuck was that smell coming from, there had to be something out the window, a knife shoud do it, chupacabra's are only a 4' tall winged monster anything that comes through that window with a freaked out me on the other side of the knife is going to end up a bloody dead lump, I don't care what it is. no wait, chupacabras are supposed to smell like sulfur, what else smells like formaldehyde and sewage? a zombie? what the fuck? what was it?
I watched the window. and waited. after about 5 minutes the smell started to go away. after 10 minutes it was gone. I put my knife away and went to sleep. what could have made that smell? what could it have been? |

If a strange smell is enough to make you so jumpy that you don't trust yourself with your pistol, what are you going to do if someone breaks in?
|
|
Dude, you shit yourself.
No need to go get all freaky and pulling knives and shit. You seriously got all scared from a BAD SMELL? |

Quoted: what could have made that smell? what could it have been? You probably farted. |
|
dude.. you just forgot to wipe
it happens.. i dont understand how you got so worked up over a smell.. whats gonna happen when you hear glass breaking from someone making entry through a window? |
|

I'm gonna be nice and guess that the rain flooded a leech bed or something of the like , and the smell WAS sewage.

Whatever it was it "marked" its terroritory. You're a goner.

So you didn't think it was human.
What did you think it was, an imaginary shitmonster? Dude, there are no boogeymen. I can't imagine drawing a weapon over a smell. If you are that jumpy/paranoid, maybe there are other things going on that you should talk to your doctor about? |

It's OK to be afraid of the rain....talk about it...let it out? Tell me about your relationship with your mother.

What did you eat that day? taco bell, refired beans, chili, 2 cans of beer and a zucchini salad, the usual, why? |

Yeah - if I smelled something bad, and my immediate response was to draw a WEAPON - I'd have to take a look in the mirror and either stop drinking or stop watching scary movies, or both. |

if you hear a noise outside your window at 3am, what would you think?
what's the difference from a smell you know isn't supposed to be there and you have no explanation for? what if you smell cologne, or beer, or fried chicken breath coming in your window at 3am? oh nooo, silly you, go back to sleep. you might not wake up again. I'm not that stupid. you can be as stupid as you want and laugh about it too. I don't care. |

Intense fear at 3 AM... It was probably a demon. Reach for your sword(Sword of the Spirit) next time.

An unsual smell could indicate a gas leak, a chemical spill - all sorts of things that could be potentially dangerous. What people ARE picking on you for is that your response to an unsual smell is to draw a weapon. |

You know I used to always laugh off the 'skools out' cracks people make...
I dont laugh so much lately... |

Don't be such a fucking girl.
Scared by a smell? Seriously? Hand in your man card and buy a fucking purse and box of tampons, Nancy. |

As for the sewage smell, well, when I saw the naked dude with the knife I crapped my pants. Won't happen again man. |

I was scared. when I get scared I'm going to draw a weapon. people that would say they are "picking" on me can kiss my fucking ass. |

I live out in the suburbs. no, I didn't fart either. Where leeches sleep and fornicate. The thunder probably woke the smelly little suckers up, too. What probably happened is the rainwater filled the storm drains rapidly and vented the air that normally occupies that space near your home. |

OP I've had some very strange encounters back here in the booines of WV and I can tell you the main difference between me and you is I would have gone to look.
I've done this many times at a strange or unusual sound or smell just head over to it while others are running away,yep I'm a little crazy of course I have a gun with me,and a sword |

Not a fucking chance. A loud hiss and bang while working with explosives? Probably, but not scared enough to shit myself and try to stab the noise. Seriously, you might as well buy a skirt and some makeup. And you didn't say jack shit about a noise outside your window, Charlene, you pissed yourself over a smell.. Allow me to refresh your memory (and terrify you all over again) all of a sudden there was this godawful formaldehyde and sewage smell coming through the window, I'm thinking where the fuck could that come from? no really, wtf? chupacabra?

Again, purse and tampons. Buy them, Wanda. |

A knife is inadequate for a chupacabra...unless you are Chuck Norris.

Why would the smell of shit scare you more than a burgler? Because it isn't human. It's an imaginary shitmonster. It's so terrifying that if an innocent bystander popped up before the shitmonster, you'd blow his brains out. Too dangerous to risk target ID, when the smell of the shitmonster is present. A half second hesitation and you're dead. Better go with the knife. |
