Today, I was thinking about how people say if you're gradually introduced to a smell or you're forced to deal with enough, you'll stop noticing it. And how untrue that is. Especially when your roommates sneak a dead rabbit under your bed. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 found out that the mysterious smell from under my bed was my cats collection of dead mice. FML
Today, I learned that bunnies mark for territory. And when I say mark, they do a 360 no scope piss and spray everything all over the walls. The smell is horrendous. FML
Today, I found dog poop in my room that had probably been there for days. My girlfriend, who was watching the house, said she didn't realize it was there, because she thought it was the smell of her own farts. FML
Today, I got a new roommate in the dorms. When I got back to my room, I could smell her feet before I even opened my door. 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 learned that the "nasty smell" in my room, which I cannot detect, does not exist. It was just my stepmother trying to make me go insane deep-cleaning my room for her personal amusement. FML
Today, after coming home, my apartment reeked of something fierce. Small animals frequently like to crawl under my apartment since I live next to a wooded area. Apparently, skunks are among those who like to visit, and Febreze isn't helping. FML
Today, after I learned a long time ago that it's prudent to smell your shredded cheese as with milk to check its freshness, that lesson came into play when I doubted the quality of some cheese my roommate was going to use for nachos. I smelled it and got the dry heaves from the stink. He can't smell anything. FML
Today, I finally found out what the weird sour smell that's been in my dorm room for a while is. My roommate's sweat. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Go find some dead armadillos and skunks and opossums and shit and shovel them under their sheets.

Wow that's a little too Godfather for my liking! I'd be moving out and hiding the rabbit somewhere that they won't find it!!

Are you sure this is your life and not Fatal Attraction? Haha but seriously, that's like a passive aggressive note gone waaaaaay wrong.

Ugh, that's gross... Are they mad at you or something, or are they trying to be funny? Either way, that's pretty gross, and that's one smell that you'll probably never forget.

Getting used to scents gradually does work. However, "gradually" is more along the lines of the smell developing slowly while you're (constantly) in the room, not it developing over a few days with you coming in and out and noting the contrast as you do. Or gradually like if the smell was from you, and you were therefore never away from it. Also if you were in the room, noticing the smell, for a half hour or so you might stop noticing it so much...until you leave the room. But when you come back, again, you'll smell it. It's all about the contrasts.
