I think we all know that gas energy will sometimes leak, and sometimes make a random house explode.
So we are cautioned to smell for gas, and because gas has no scent, they add a chemical that “smells like rotting eggs.”
Twice in the past month I have smelled a strange odor in my neighborhood. I wondered if it smelled like rotting eggs. I realized that I have never smelled any egg in any stage of rot in my life.
Well, guess what. I found you can order a scatch and sniff card from the gas company.
I anticipate that “smells like rotting eggs” is a polite way to say “smells like farts.”
