I've made the vacuum mistake before, and I had to throw the vacuum bag out well before its time. Same issue if I crush one and throw it in the trash can - now I have that smell until I take the trash out.

Based on some responses, it's clear there must be varying ability to smell/be offended by the stink chemicals. Maybe it is like cilantro in more than just odor, because I am part of the unlucky genetic group that finds cilantro to taste like soap.
