Animals, Gross and Miscellaneous: Compacted

Compacted

By RatFailure - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I looked into my sink's garbage disposal for the first time since I moved in two months ago. Apparently, the putrid smell was not the food I've been throwing down it, but instead, a now what appears to be mutilated litter of rats. FML

The smell test

Today, I realized I can tell which one of my 6 roommates has taken a dump, just based on the smell emanating from the toilet. FML

Today, after cleaning the whole house, I still couldn't get rid of the foul smell. Later, my roommate revealed his new place to "stash and dry" his socks: The ventilation ducts. FML

Today, I called a pest control company to ask them to come over to my place to help get rid of rats. The person on the phone told me to "be a man and stop acting like a girl". I'm a woman. FML

Snek

By snakeboy - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - Australia

Today, for the first time in about 3 years, I decided to clean my car. It was going really well until I looked down at what I was about to pick up. On the back seat floor lay a dead snake, which at one point, for God knows how long, was living in my car while I unknowingly drove it around. FML

Jump scare

Today, I saw a long black hair coming out of the drain. Thinking it was my sister's, I called her in and pulled it out for her to see, only to realize I was actually pulling out a long brown roach by the antenna. FML

Today, I was on the toilet when my cat came in and jumped up on the sink. Apparently my lap looked like a comfier seat, so she jumped onto it. She misjudged the distance, but luckily caught herself by sliding to a stop, with her claws in my bare thighs. FML

Customized

By gss - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I pulled one of my favorite hoodies out of my closet, and immediately noticed several large stains on it. Apparently, my dad had managed to open a hole in the roof and couldn't be bothered to patch it, so a squirrel got in and used my closet as a litter box. FML

Today, I woke up to my apartment filled with smoke, fire alarms blaring. My roommate set my kitchen on fire while making hot dogs. This is the fourth time this has happened. FML

Tough shit

By c.m.g. - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff

Today, I was taking a dump in a porta-potty at a fair. I had the runs really bad. All I have to say is that it's tough to take a shit that seems never-ending while other people outside are bitching at you and hammering on the flimsy door. FML

Today, I woke up next to my roommate staring in horror. She said I was singing and farting in my sleep. Loudly. FML

Mother of God, that's disturbing.

Holy shit I just threw up in my mouth. But for real though OP, I have a garbage disposal unit in my house, and anything substantial makes tons of noise, the squeals and the breaking of bones must have alerted you to something being gravely wrong, no?

I would feel so guilty if I found out after the fact and disgusted. I don't even know how I would go about cleaning it... Bleach and a hose on blast?

Oh there is plenty of stringy, furry protein in these bad boys, no booster necessary!

Pretty sure not everyone confuses spoiled food for multiple decaying corpses.

I've had an experience similar to this one. Except it was underneath my washer,(in the motor), and the rats weren't dead. They came in from the cold and found a warm place to sleep. I guess they were at the wrong place at the wrong time.. When I started my washer, all I heard was squeaking and I saw blood come out from under the washer. :'( I cried for days about it!! :'(

It was very gross.. And, quite frankly, a disturbing memory of mine. I felt so bad for so long about it..

I was just thinking how it would be scarring to have done that, always remembering...I feel terrible just for running over a squirrell with my car once...and this is way more horrible.

There really isn't any need to check a disposal unless it's making odd noises or smells wrong. Even a family of rats don't smell that bad when they JUST set up shop. I don't blame you, OP. FYL.
