Lemon pepper fish…I remember my mom used to cook that growing up, and whenever anyone warmed up the leftovers (this was way before air fryers) we all suffered with the smell. It tasted good fresh or warmed up, but oh the smell.
Can anyone think of anything worse to warm up than fish? I remember, at my last job we had a lady who was a pescatarian. They eventually asked her not to bring the meal in the office because the smell was getting to a few people.

When I was working we had a guy who constantly warmed up fish in the microwave. It stunk up our whole office and phew!! I can't think of anything offhand worse than heating up fish but there's probably something,

I refuse to cook salmon in the microwave. That's the pits.

I used to take boiled eggs in my lunch to work and people always complained about that. 
(Pretty STILL complains about the smell of boiled eggs. I try to cook them when she's asleep but she complains anyway.

@AmbiePam Gross! Yeah, Pretty has burned a bag of popcorn before. It took days before it didn't stink enough that I could smell it anymore. But, I've also fallen asleep while boiling eggs. They exploded all over the kitchen. It took several days for me to get that all cleaned up and I was never sure that smell went away entirely. At least that happened at our last house and not in this one.

I do have to say that cabbage and Brussels sprouts can really smell bad at times, when reheating them or even cooking for the first time!
