Today, after recently breaking up with my boyfriend, I unknowingly washed my laundry using his washing tabs. My whole wardrobe now smells like my ex. FML

Today, I washed my clothes in the shared laundry room. All my clothes came out smelling like smoke. FML

Today, I discovered that my expensive new shampoo smells exactly like my ex-girlfriend. So now, whenever I shower, I'm showered with depression. FML

Today, I bought some expensive fabric softener since I'm not too keen on my detergent's smell. Only after washing two weeks worth of laundry did I discover that mixed together they realistically mimic the smell of fresh puke. FML

Today, after finishing the laundry, I took clothes out of the dryer and took a big whiff of their delicious clean scent. That was when I noticed that my mom was watching me, and I had just smelled my dad's still-stained underwear that was on top. FML

Today, I came home to find my fiancé trying to do laundry. His version was "rubbing the smelly spots with baby powder". Looks like I'll be the only one doing laundry for the rest of our lives. FML

Creepy guy

Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend at the store. Before I knew what was happening, he'd sniffed me and started whimpering about how I don't smell like I used to. He does this kind of crazy shit all the time. FML

Flavor of the month

Today, I was doing the laundry but couldn't tell if one basket contained dirty clothes or clean clothes. I put my head down into the basket and took a whiff to check, and smelled something strong. I looked down and noticed I had shoved my nose into my mother's dirty panties and inhaled deeply. FML

Today, my ex-boyfriend, who broke up with me the day before yesterday, got a job at my workplace. He shows up dressed his best clothes, clean-shaven, and with perfume. For the 10 months we dated, I only saw him in baggy tops, sweatpants, a weird beard, and the smell of sweat. FML

Today, there was a laundry basket of my clothes sitting in my room. My dad asked me if they were clean or not. When I said I didn't know, he picked up a piece of my clothing, sniffed it, and said it smelled fine. That piece of clothing just so happened to be my underwear. FML

Didn't you learn your lesson after you made a similar mistake in the shower?

Clearly the only option is to burn down her house. Much easier solution.

YDI for having a bf who smells like detergent.

I understand you're upset but if you can really distinctively put that scent to your ex boyfriend, you may have issues if in public someone else has used that detergent.

How can you not know what you are putting in with your clothes? And one load fine, possibly another load okay. But for your entire wardrobe to smell that way you had to have either realized it but are lieing about it to write an FML or you are so oblivious and that's probably why he left.

Some people don't have that much. I can fit all the clothes I currently own into one load of laundry. Just because you assume everyone can afford to have all the clothes they want doesn't mean that It's true...and it certainly doesn't mean she's lying...or that the break up was even her fault. Try not jumping to so many conclusions next time.

Please reread my comment. Not once did I say anything about money or being able to get anything you wanted. The only thing I assumed was that they were an adult and separated their laundry. Which means multiple loads. So lets say they are an adult then you can assume that there would be at least 3 different loads.

How could you "unknowingly" use his wash tabs..did you not have some detergent of your own? Absent mindedly, maybe...unknowingly..not likely. Sorry OP but I give you a ydi.

Prep the chocolate and bad romance movies if you don't want to wash again? I've always thought that smelling things to remember people, as I would imagine OP might end up doing, is a wee bit creeper..
