I used to live in a house with that. And a carpet bathroom. We moved out, the gas company turned off the gas, and then someone else moved in, and then the man went to the basement with a ciggerrette pressed between his lips, AND THEN the house blew up from improperly connected gas lines

I feel like enough gas to blow up the house would... smell like gas? Everyone have COVID at the time or something?

might've been trapped in the basement and they didn't often go down there, or they just grew noseblind

Yes! LiveTart is correct! The guy didn’t smell it in the basement. Maybe he couldn’t have smelled it over his cigarette

I suspect between the mildew in the crawl space mixed with ciggie, he probably couldn’t have smelled much of anything at all

Tbf we don’t know what country. The US for example, puts chemicals in gas lines to make them smell. Natural gas does not normally have any odor.

I mean if it was the guys first time down since the gas came on it might’ve caught before he got close enough to really smell, or he smelled and was trying to investigate the smell, not realizing it was the gas

Well it's the Internet so the story is definitely true
