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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 that the rancid stench in my bathroom was a decaying carcass of a mouse in my toilet tank. FML
Today, I found out that the mysterious smell from under my bed was my cats collection of dead mice. 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
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 that somehow got stuck in my dishwasher. I have been eating off plates washed in dead mouse water for the past week. FML
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
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

Ouch. I had a hamster that escaped his cage once when I was little. I was crying for weeks... then cried more once I found him behind the play-house :| Though I'll admit, sometimes I have had a really awful smell in my house (nothing dead yet), lost something that rots/decomposes, and not been able to locate the source for good while.

This is why they should be in cages and why you shouldn't have pets.

#6, this also happened to my family. We had six of them. We also had a cat. He was able to knock the cage off a desk in our boys bedroom. We found all but one of them. We figured that the cat got it and went outside with it. Later on there was a very bad smell in the room. The smell would come and go for months. We could not find the reason for the smell. So time to paint the walls in the room. I move the desk that is right up against the wall, away from the wall, so I could paint it. There was the missing gerbil totally dried up and smashed flat against the wall and desk. I had to rip and peel it off the wall. The smell, oh, the smell.
