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

Wasn't there an FML about a dead mouse in a dishwasher not too long ago? How do people not notice these things?

Why do you keep dead rats in your dryer? It's not a good place to keep them. I prefer the fridge so they stay fresh.

i dont think the rat was in the clothes drum rather it was in the place where there was an intake of air, i doubt u could miss such a thing

You should be relieved, now you know you're not naturally appalling! :]

Ew. YDI. Learn to, you know, not be a disgusting pig with rats in your house and the problem goes away. I never understood how people can stand to be that disgustingly filthy.

If the OP was that "disgustingly filthy" he wouldn't have been washing his clothes at all.

He had rats. That is *disgustingly* filthy. Washing your clothes is a minor detail when you are living in enough filth to attract rats. Hell, it takes a lot to attract *mice*, and it takes even more to get them chases off by rats.

All it takes is a warm dry house to attract mice in the winter. We get them every year and our house is pretty damn clean. We have found the hole on the outside where they get in and out and blocked it so hopefully we wont get them this year. Our mice never really left the walls though because there weren't really places for them to get in and out of. The only holes were in the basement, which, coincidentally, is where our drier is.

you're an idiot, rodents don't just scope out the filthiest places they can. they look for anywhere habitable, especially when it gets cold. my house is a couple hundred years old, not exactly a fortress, and just because i'm not throwing food all over the floors doesn't mean mice don't think it's a nice place to stay.

Houses can be spotless and have rats/mice. They like warm climates with easy access of food which is what a house is. Idiot

...you noticed that your clothes smelled a little funny but didn't notice that your dryer -reeked- until now? Riiiight.

So you went all that time just smelling? How do you not smell a dead rat in the dryer, let alone the awful scent of it in your clothes? yeah...i'm with #22.

doesnt mean you don't still sweat heavily

Fake, a dead rat would smell so terrible you'd know it from the point of entering the house. A hot dead rat would smell worse.

Somehow, I doubt you could mistake the smell of a dead rodent for the smell of sweat, and if you can, then I don't want to know what you smell like after a work out.
