I have the ability to not smell stuff. I don't mean just not sniff it, I mean physically close off my nasal passages so smells don't get in (without holding my nose). I can't really explain it to you, it's a bit like swallowing but I can hold the back of my nose shut. It's an incredibly useful trick when emptying the kitchen bin, changing a baby, picking up dog poo etc. I'm basically a really crap superhero.
Anybody else able to do this, or am I mutant? I'd also be able to hear any other unusual "stuff" TWTDers can do, or any decent party tricks. |  |

you are not alone. I can do this as well.
Especially useful for when I have to walk past places such as Lush or enter stores with too high a concentration of Yankee Candles |  | | |

I don't need to breathe, I can literally go hours without breathing....in fact I'm typing this whilst not breathing. I first found out about this ability a few years back when travelling to Burma. It's quite a st |  |

I think I can do this too but have never attempted it for more than a few seconds.
I once knew a man who had no sense of smell at all. I was fascinated by it. I didn't believe him initially but eventually conceded that he didn't have anything to gain by lying. He grew weary of me asking whether he could smell various strong scents.
We enjoyed marijuana together and it was quite handy to be able to reassure him that we didn't absolutely stink of it in situations where it would have been socially frowned upon. I didn't share his paranoia of stench and was comfortable lying to him about it for his own benefit. |  |

It also comes in handy in Aldi where 1 in 3 customers have dubious personal hygiene | |

Doesn't that mean he also has no sense of taste? Olfactory nerve or something. | |

That's well handy. I'm going to try to develop this ability, I have a horrible gag reflex when I pick up dog poo, which is developing into a real physical jerk too. People come and ask me if I'm okay sometimes. Be dead handy if I get a dog one day too. | |

I'm very pleased to see that pickles didn't find your home and conti ually shout "oi zed" through your letter box all night, thus explaining yihr disappearance. How is the chest thatch Zed?, Still glorious? |  |

Home Bargains is another one, half the staff are sweaty teenagers and they make them wear a horrible lurid synthetic 90s football kit style effort which isn't breathable. But then maybe it's designed to keep the smell in... [Post edited 16 Oct 2019 14:11]

My son can go a whole week without pooing which i think's an amazing special skill. Imagine knowing you could go to a festival without worrying about needing a crap? |  |

My eldest has a sluggish bowel, but can't go five minutes without talking crap. | |

He did do that.
I ignored him for 7 weeks before I ran out of chest shampoo and had to leave the house. By coincidence, a Labour door-knocker visited within a few days and I was able to jump over my garden fence while he was distracted and knock on my neighbours conservatory requesting freedom of movement. | |
