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 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

Parting shit

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 had pet gerbils when I was a kid. The little bastards are really hard to catch once loose. Rats were a much better rodent pet.

I had a gerbil back in the 2k, he jumped off the balcony, 4th floor...

RIP gerbil.... Cause of death: died while on a daring escape from the clutches of your butt cheeks

Due to the fact that Gerbils have become the 'rodent de jour' of a certain well groomed and easily identifiable group in society, you probably should have edited the rodent identified to read 'sugar glider' or 'small marsupial'....

This same thing happened to me years ago except it was a small blue fresh water lobster that escaped from the fish tank and crawled into the next room and hid behind the book case, the mad thing. Miss you Mr Bluey MacPincherton xx

Have the flies arrived yet? We had something dead in the walls of our house last Spring that stunk for weeks. Never found the body and we just had to wait it out. Had to bug-bomb the house to kill the flies that suddenly started appearing in the windows.
