Today, my grandmother told me my favorite top had a permanent smell of BO, despite my constant deodorant use. I wear the top to work just about every shift. I now realize all the weird little comments my coworkers have made are actually hints to go take a shower. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that before my grandma washes my clothes, she smells my underwear to "make sure they're dirty." FML
Today, my grandmother sat me down and gave me a talk about the importance of personal hygiene. According to her, it's important that I shower twice a day, because, "Fat people tend to have a most curious smell about them." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I smell like his grandma's house. FML
Today, I found out I’m the “smelly girl” in the office. Now I understand all those passive-aggressive subtle comments about hygiene and showering made by my coworkers, and why a bottle of Dial body wash randomly appeared on my desk one day. FML
Today, while at work, I was trying to locate the source of the really bad BO wafting around, when I realized I'd forgotten to put on deodorant this morning. I have 5 hours of shame left to go. FML
Today, my mother chewed me out for not wearing deodorant and smelling of B.O. I was wearing plenty of deodorant. My shirt just smelled like my boyfriend, whom I'd been cuddling with earlier. FML
Today, while applying deodorant, my mom came up behind me slapped the stick out of my hand, and confiscated it, saying, “No one needs deodorant when it’s this cold.” At work, I got so many complaints about my B.O that I was sent home to go take a shower. I shower every single day. FML
Today, during my meeting with manager, I found out that my coworkers think that I stink. I literally shower every day and use deodorant and perfume. Am I doing something wrong? FML
Today, I was in a rush to get to work and forgot to put on deodorant. I didn't realize until my coworker told me I smelled like a gym sock. FML
Today, I was walking into class when the guy i like walked in and said "Gross it smells like grandma in here. What, did someone bathe in their perfume today?" I was the only girl in the room and I just bought new perfume. I thought I smelled good, apparently I didn't. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Come on! You couldn't even tell us any of the comments your coworkers make?! You're not a team player, OP. SMH.

Probably not, considering the major character limit on FMLs.

If they have Oxiclean in Australia, I haven't found a stain or a smell yet that that stuff can't get out. Soak the top in water and Oxiclean for awhile, then wash it with your normal detergent and a scoop of Oxiclean. I hate how expensive it is, but it seems to do the best job. However, I don't have any idea how you couldn't have noticed the smell, unless you have no sense of smell. I can always smell the clean laundry scent, or especially the lack thereof, when I am folding or unfolding my clothes, and I have a really weak sense of smell.

Try washing it in vinegar! Vinegar oddly enough neutralizes the smell.

try soaking it in eucalyptus or tea-tree oil. also when showering smell your armpitsto see if u actually washed away any B.O that may have built up.
