A long time ago, my parents rented out a duplex near Philadelphia. I occasionally did very light maintenance on it. One day the upstairs tenant called to complain about an odor coming from the downstairs apartment. When I got there things smelled pretty bad in the hallway. When I opened the door the to downstairs, I considered calling the cops because I figured there had to be a body somewhere to make that awful smell.

I turns out there was a bowl of what looked like beans or lentils in the sink. I don't know how long they had been there, but it must have been a while to make that awful smell.

muahahaha.

Seriously people, I need warnings for posts like that so things stop coming out my nose.

I always take the whole thing and split it with my secretary.

@ jinx: You got off easy with the broccoli. There are much worse things that get left in people's trunks. When I lived in Tucson (summer days can hit 110F regularly) I once went grocery shopping with a friend who had two small children. As we were talking, she opened the back of her van to put the bags inside and the most horrible odor rushed out. One of her kids had spilled a cup of milk in the back, apparently a few days before. It had soaked into the carpet, which was now writhing with maggots!!!
