Today, I taught my 12-year-old brothers that showering cannot be used as a substitute for deodorant, and that they should use both. One of them was almost in tears. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my brother's refused to shower after 2 weeks of dripping sweat and never changing clothes. He claims the smell is just his "manly musk" and if I can't handle it, then maybe I'm the problem. FML
Today, I had to inform my roommate that dry shampoo, deodorant, and perfume are not the same as a shower. It's been two weeks. FML
Today, I actually had to teach my 9-year-old brother how to pour himself a glass of milk, after he burst out in tears when my sister told him to do it himself. His astonishing ignorance also extends to basic hygiene. FML
Today, it’s extremely hot, so showering and deodorant does fuck all for my odor. I thought I could get away with having my arms pressed to my sides at all times, but instead, a boy I don’t even know physically lifted my arms above my head and loudly declared that I stank. FML
Today, my five-year-old son told me that I smell bad and asked me to take a shower so I wouldn't attract bugs into the house. I had just showered. FML
Today, I explained to my teenage daughter that enough was enough and she needed to start shaving her armpits again, stating it was unladylike and unsanitary. Her only response was, "If it's so unsanitary, why don't you make my brother do it?" I give up. 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, I had to use anti-perspirant deodorant under my breasts. FML
Today, my 19-year-old brother subjected me to yet another rant about how the writers of My Little Pony aren't writing the show for people like him any more, the "true fans", otherwise known as pimply-faced adults who don't use deodorant and only shower once a week. FML
Today, my boyfriend announced he has stopped wearing deodorant because he thinks his BO smells "manly." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Usually you would have to tell them that deodorant is not a substitute for showering, but I guess that works too.

Teach them that if they smell nice, that they are most likely to get a girl to like them. Boys that age are mostly interested in that haha (from my experience)

He was probably tearing up from the awful odor emanating from him.

At least they're showering.

I only shower every other week,am I filthy?
Voij 16
Depends. Do you wash yourself at least once per day? If not, then you're somewhat likely to be at least unclean, although I wouldn't immediately jump to calling you "filthy".

I just feel dirty if I don't shower, I have to do everyday especially after working out

Depends #17, Maybe your environment is cold and you don't move around enough to work up any kind of sweat. But it's still a good idea to change the sheets on your bed regularly and have a shower at the very least every three days, just to be on the safe side. I gather nearing the end of that week, you probably smell quite rank, and why leave it till it gets to that point?

Yes

Well he'll learn to actually like it...if not it will be understandable in the future...

Well they could have a lot worse alternatives. At least they are clean, for the most part.

Deo doesn't clean. It just smells.

32 - They're not using deodorant, they're showering.

#32 holy shit its Sherlock Holmes everybody
isuckwithnames 22
Well 19 is implying, or I'm inferring from his wording, that he thinks demo cleans.
mikbrooke 25
#87 - you realise the FML says they are showering and NOT using deodorant right? so what #19 is implying, is actually correct.
pita1331 7
Realize* I'm sure this will get thumbed down but you're the second person commenting on this FML that has spelled realize incorrectly and I'm sorry it just bothers me so fml community thumb me down if you will haha
mikbrooke 25
#99 - maybe you should check where people are from BEFORE you try and tell them they are spelling things incorrectly.

One is better than none.

I don't think many boys at that age are very hygienic, so good job for trying
