My nose is dumb
So I've had this problem for a while now and I'm not looking for medical advice or anything...just your thoughts.
I have never had a broken nose or anything, but my sense of smell is very weak. I can smell some things. Food usually come through with no problem. At least, I think it does. I can smell gasoline at the stations. Perfumes, colognes, or deodorants I can smell. I can smell crap.
However, a lot of other things don't. Take farts for example. If someone dropped a room-clearing bomb nearby, I wouldn't smell it, which is odd since I can smell crap. When my sister moved into her new house, there was a slight gas leak. Everybody else smelled it clearly, but I just had a faint sense of gas. I would have overlooked it if I were alone. A certain plant near her home gives off a horrible odor when you drive by it, but I never smell it.
Obviously, this is something I need to see a doctor about because smell can be important. Yet, part of me enjoys laughing at others gag from a fart while I just sit there and breathe normally.
What do you guys think about it? Have you ever heard of something like this? Is this a blessing or a curse?
