View Full Version : First time this has happened
It was a good day until I was trimming around a tree and hit the mother load!!!!!! Slap!!! All over my shirt, face and in my hair. That was the worst smell I have ever smelled in my life. Shirt went right into a dumpster and I went right home to take a shower. The other day I forgot to empty out the back of my walker. In the morning when I was cleaning it out I got a big whiff of the steaming, rotting grass and ran outside to empty my breakfast. Who else has had bad experinces?

Was the smell that got on you and got to you the rotting grass? Or did you get a dead animal? Or was it animal waste? I DO know that rotting grass is pretty powerful. I think it could be used in chemical warfare, personally.
Sorry I should of told you I hit the a mother load of dog waste.

Ugh. I've had to housebreak more than one of those things, so I know how bad it can get. And left in a hopper with clippings overnight? Ugh ugh ugh.

;) Always, and I do mean always breathe through your nose. Can you imagine getting a mouthful?

I mow a small island at the end of a road and I swear every time I get there the dog across the street has just unloaded his breakfast on this area and I'm pretty tired of going through it with the lazer. One day the lady that owns the dog is going to get a pile on her drive. Not really, but I'd like to. I think they have it trained to go crap there and not their yard. Some people are morons and so inconsiderate.

one night? HAAAA! last fall i had to remove a season's worth of grass clippings from this guy's house. only grass clippings. no lime or nothing. you could smell if from the house, which was about 200 feet away or so. i started off with a wheel barrow, but then just drove out there with the truck and trailer. i could only take a few scoops at a time with the pitchfork before i had to leave for about 5 minutes. it made you wanna hurl. saturday night i had to load up about 2 yards of grass clippings. didnt get em unloaded until sunday morning. started smellin it yesterday. but no complaints from the homeowner.

about 2 weeks ago, after finishing work i had my crew go unload my clippings from 3days ago, lets just say they weren'yt very happy when they got back to the house but they got paid for it so they didn't mind.
almost forgot, not a great idea to open a spitter that sat over night in the truck when its mid summer, it will bring a tear or 2 to your eyes when you go to spit.

Been there done that with the Walker. Amazing how bad grass can smell!I even had a nice green ooze coming out of the catcher and running all over the concrete floor.
*Note to self..always make sure catcher is empty no matter who used it last!:dizzy:
Just when you thought you were having a bad day!!!!
