Today, my dog and I got sprayed by a skunk. I have no tomato juice or baking soda, and the bus doesn't come for another 3 hours. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I spent five hours in the back seat of a car with two dogs. Both had been sprayed by a skunk earlier in the day. One had a gas problem. FML
Today, I ran over a recently-killed skunk in the road. My truck now smells absolutely rancid, and the smell will probably last for months. At least it goes well with my dog, who was also skunked 6 weeks ago. FML
Today, my house absolutely reeks of skunk after my dog got tagged at 10pm last night and we didn’t realize it until she was already back inside. This is on top of a nasty case of whole body poison ivy my 6 year-old is dealing with, and my wife’s appendix decided to leave the chat last week. FML
Today, my dog decided to play with a skunk. Today is also the day I figured out that no matter how much you wash everything that's come in contact with the smell, it will never go away. FML
Today, I left my bedroom window open to let in some fresh air while I slept. A skunk got in and sprayed my room. FML
Today, my dog ran away. It was dark, so I couldn't see very well, but I ran after him anyway. Thinking I had caught up to him, I grabbed him. It wasn't my dog. It was a skunk. FML
Today, I ran over my third skunk in over 16 days. I should probably return my driver's license to the DMV. FML
Today, I had my window opened slightly, without a screen behind it. I walked into the living room and smelled a skunk. I looked out the window and saw a skunk, so I quickly closed the window. However, it was too late. Before I could do so, it turned and sprayed me, a few meters of my house, and our front porch too. FML
Today, I found out that we have six skunks under my shed. While I was mowing the lawn, they all came out and sprayed me. FML
Today, my cat got sprayed by a skunk for the fifth time in two years. He still loves to chase skunks, and gets sprayed every time he does. The putrid scent doesn’t seem to bother him at all, either. Every night, he normally pushes himself up against my face and nose. It’s gonna be a long, restless smelly few days. FML

I'm sure the people on the bus are going to love you! (Skunk emoji) Ha! There's no skunk emoji! They've got a badger, and we don't need no stinking badgers!

Dish soap would help until you could get some. I said help, not be a miracle worker.

You are really almost never funny but I did laugh at this one.

Vinegar helps also.

Diluted vinegar. And it won’t stain your dog and make a huge mess. We all have our trucks. I have a husky. Not staining him red. Just be careful with face. Dish soap that.

Tomato juice doesn’t actually do anything but cover the stench with another stench. You need something that breaks the enzymes down. Things special made for removing cat pee are decent. I recommend natures promise (I think that’s what it’s called. It comes in red bottles).

A mixture of dish soap, baking soda, and hydrogen peroxide, one to one, will get the smell out. A wildlife technician who did a skunk study taught me that.

I might be wrong but will they even let you on a bus smelling of skunk???
