I just wanted to resurrect this thread as we're now at the tail end of the British asparagus season and I've been annoying people with that "wet towel" smell for a good few weeks now.
I should probably stress that this is only in shared and public toilets.
I've not been sneaking up on people at work and peeing on their shoulder.
I figure that would be annoying whether or not the micturater had been eating asparagus.
Although it would be the cherry on the icing on the cake, that moment of realisation that not only had they been peed on but that it was a real stinker.
I also discovered that not evberyones wee smells bad after asparagus, and those whose wee doesn't smell bad also can't smell anything bad about other peoples asparagus wee.

Indeed, its a recessive gene, much like blue eyes or hitch hikers thumb.
I cannot taste a certain chemical in foods, but my best friend can. Our biology teacher gave us all these little strips of paper in 10th grade i think. He warned us, telling us, "For some of you, this is going to taste like the nastiest thing ever, for some it will taste like a piece of paper."
Luckily I got the paper flavored one. Hurray for recessive traits!
Not quite the same, but I sometimes have to have this antibiotic. I have to mix it up my self, and when you do it fizzes up and smells strongly of cat pee. Because it fizzes up, there is a lot of pressure in the bottle, so when you put the needle in to take the liquid out, it can sometimes spray you. Right in the face, sometimes. And it reeks. It also stains, so I have lots of pj tops with yellow pee like stains on the front. But the worst is that as I inject it in, I can TASTE it. So much so that I have to sometimes stop or I'll gag. It's rotten stuff. When I pee, it absolutely stinks of cat wee, and some people even sweat it out, so have cat pee armpits. I feel like more of it is coming out of me than I ever took in.
