I guess when humans know if you startle them it has consequences, they've got used to us being really polite.

What surprised me was the sound they made. I usually can't hear them over my screaming.
Or maybe that was the sound of the cyclist sniveling.

I only saw one once.
On hols when I lived in Murca but it was ways off. I sort of want to know how bad the smell actually is.
My response is conditioned by Pepe LePew rather than experience

If you've lived anywhere near a rural area, you've likely smelled them after they've been hit.
Bad idea to accidentally run over skunk road kill because you become the peeyew mobile for real.

Yeah, they're nasty. I was driving to another state and swerved to miss skunk road kill and still got a bit.
The guy I was driving with was unreasonably angry at me for having hit it, certain that I'd done it to aggravate him. He was an idiot.

I spent some time working in the US when fresh out of Uni
We used to go out for lunch to a diner on the other side of the airport, which involved driving a rural road around the perimeter.
One summer day we drove that way to discover a fresh skunk roadkill in the middle of the yellow lines. It which was the single most vile thing I've ever smelled. We avoided that road for a couple of weeks to let the crows do their job, but found that even they wouldn't go near. The corpse was untouched, and remained there for at least a month.
My only encounter with a live wild skunk was many years later when one ambled out of the bushes next to me in a car park in Toronto. I ran like fuck.

One whiff of those trainers was enough to send 'em on their way.

skunks at large
I had the same thing happen to me. was working in a fish restaurant and my sneakers were covered with breeding. It was a long walk home at dusk, long lonely wooded road, and suddenly saw this guy about 50 yard away. I shouted "Hey"! a few times, which he would pause at, then kept waddling toward me. Finally got exactly across the road from me and came over and started to scrape the stuff of my sneakers and munch on in. Needless to say, I was no longer yelling anything at this point, just standing shock still pooping in my pants. A car came by about 2 minutes later which spooked him and he ran off into the woods. I was contemplating spending the rest of that summer smelling like our dog had gotten bombed but they are remarkably both bold, but un-aggressive. That must have been 40 years ago but will stay with me forever.

Haha.
Oh wow, this may have solve a mystery. The barking bush. There was one, I swear. Hearing that has prompted my memory. Plus I just discovered I have skunks. I love skunks. In fact I am nursing a sprained ankle from chasing one the other day. Not aggressively, but...fuck. who cares.
