Today, my brother got the same cologne as the guy I've been seeing for a while. Every time I'm with my brother I think about him, and every time I'm with him I think about my brother. FML

Today, I was fired from my job. My boss claimed it was because I smelled like alcohol, never mind the fact that my job was brewmaster at a beer company. FML

Today, I tried using hand sanitizer to mask the smell of my armpits at work. Not only did it intensify the stench, my boss thinks I have a drinking problem, because I vaguely smelled of alcohol. I was too embarrassed to explain. FML

Today, my brother's refused to shower after 2 weeks of dripping sweat and never changing clothes. He claims the smell is just his "manly musk" and if I can't handle it, then maybe I'm the problem. FML

Today, my love life is so pathetic that when I got a sample of cologne in the mail, I kept sniffing it just to remind myself what a guy smells like. FML

Today, I was working the night shift when a guy came in smelling like alcohol. He kept muttering his order, so I leaned over the register to hear him better. My ear now smells of vomit. FML

Today, I have a new office-mate. I'm not particularly sensitive to odours but he wears so much cologne, I nearly throw up every time he walks in. Only 8 more hours till fresh air. FML

Today, my brother met my girlfriend for the first time. Instead of making a good first impression, the first thing he did was talk about how he just took a massive dump and didn't wipe very well, and that's why his hand smelled bad. FML

Just a prank, bro

Today, I had a job interview. I was feeling upbeat and confident I was gonna get the position, until I saw that my main qualification on my resume was being a "real n**ga" and "getting bitches and hoes 24/7." My brother had changed it as a prank. FML

Alcohol has a strong smell. Unless you're scent-impaired, YDI.

Uh. Simple solution. Wash it off.

1) I agree. Cologne at an interview is a turn-off. Or if you were to wear some, put it on HOURS before the interview, so that it's faint and become a part of your natural scent. 2) If you have time to post this to FML, then you have enough time to wash your neck. 3) Rub your skin with Purell® or something similar, the rapid-drying alcohol should evaporate the scent.

2) The limitations of FML posting ("Today,...") mean that there may need to be some lying in order to ever post a story here. I doubt he used the few minutes he had to post this FML.

Erm, shower rather than FMLing about it? This is getting dangerously close to a YDI.

Cologne smells just as awful anyway. That was a lose-lose situation.

haha, how did he do that? you cant get the top off of the cologne or perfume bottles. im suspicious of a fake.

most work places are scent free zones now, so the cologne is over doing it anyways. also, change and shower, and if you don't have time, wash your face and change your shirt. if you don't have time for that, you need to learn not to leave things until the last minute so you have time to fix things when they go wrong.

Today, I’m confused as hell. Since we got divorced, my ex-wife and I have had more sex in the last 6 months than our entire 5 year marriage. Since our split, we can’t keep our hands off each other, and I’m in a state of permanent confusion about our future relationship. FML

Today, my step-brother had some serious bowel distress and rushed to the bathroom. Because he forgot to quit his group chat with his buddies, I quickly found out that the reason he's so over-protective, and hostile to my male friends, is because he wants to get into my pants. FML
