Today, I found out that the horrible stench haunting my apartment for the past week was the decomposing corpse of my freedom loving gerbil underneath the bed that I've been sleeping on. FML

Today, I discovered why there was such a horrible stench in my bedroom. My cat had a secret stash of shit under my dresser. Along with the carcass of a rat. FML

Today, I discovered the source of the vile stench in my room. My daughter had "saved" a bird from our cat and put it in a box under my bed, hoping to nurse it back to health. She forgot about it, leaving the corpse rotting in there for who knows how long. FML

Death at one's elbow

Today, I found out that for the past 6 months I have been sleeping next to a dead body. The cremated body of my landlord's father. It was hidden inside a wardrobe that I was not supposed to use. FML

Today, I found the source of the bad smell that has been plaguing me for the past two weeks in my apartment. The police knocked on my door asking if I've seen my neighbor recently. I haven't. The smell has been that of a dead person. It's a smell that even Febreze can't remove. FML

Today, I found out that the horrific smell coming from somewhere in my kitchen was a rotting dead mouse that somehow got stuck in my dishwasher. I have been eating off plates washed in dead mouse water for the past week. FML

Smells like victory

Today, I opened my front door to be greeted by what I can only describe as the stink of death. After moving furniture and lifting floorboards, frantically searching for whatever had died, I finally discovered the actual source of the stench - my girlfriend's feet. FML

Today, I came home to the vilest stench I've ever smelled. I had to open a floor vent and scoop up the turd that was inside. Funnily enough, today was the day my scumbag roommate moved out, but I'm sure he had absolutely nothing to do with it. FML

Today, I found out the reason my clothes have been smelling a little funny isn't because I sweat heavily, it's because of the dead rat in the back of my dryer. FML

I would like to claim that I would have put two and two together LONG before the week was up. Missing gerbil+ awful stench= nothing good

it seems as though nobody these days knows how to take care a gerbil. or maybe they are just very suicidal creatures. its amazing that they arent extinct by now because ive heard about a million stories of peoples dead gerbils

GUYS SITUATIONS CAN ONLY HAPPEN ONCE IN THE UNIVERSE ANYTHING CLOSELY RESEMBLING THE FIRST TIME YOU HEARD SOMETHING SIMILAR IS A CLEAR AND FLAGRANT RIPOFF AM I RIGHT God DAMN you people are ******* stupid. And the reason it wasnt in a cage? Try reading the ******* thing before bitching about it. Please note that it specifically says "freedom-loving". Clearly it always free-roamed about the apartment no problem because it was better for it to explore.

How did it take you a week to figure this out? Wouldnt you have noticed the smell was strongest by the bed that you sleep on every night and looked underneath sooner?

How did this get past moderation? There's a period after the "FML" at the end! That is unacceptable!

Agree with #1. How could you possibly not wonder where it went? You are by far the worst pet owner ever. Dude, never ever ever, have children. You'll end up in prison, I'm sure.
