Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, as I was leaving for work, I discovered my neighbor had just passed away. I found out when I came across his body lying in my front yard. FML

Creepy season is over
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, less than a day after my cranky downstairs neighbor passed away, I woke up to banging sounds against his apartment ceiling, like the ones he used to make whenever I walked around during the night. I'm shitting myself in fear. FML

Today, I heard my asshole neighbor had died of a stroke. I was outside and said, "Well it's about goddamn time!" I turned around to see his wife walking her dog and staring deep into my soul. FML

Smells like victory
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, after three days of getting stared at by my neighbour from the window, I realized that she wasn't alive anymore. FML

Today, I found out that my upstairs neighbor has a cat. I was blessed with this knowledge when she threw several piles of used kitty litter and cat poop over her balcony and onto my patio. FML

Today, I was painting my new house when my neighbor introduced himself. Mid-conversation, he said, "The lady who lived here was nice, but just couldn't get over her husband hanging himself in the garage. Or her son shooting himself in the basement." I'll never sleep again. FML

Parting shit
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

I had a pet mouse die in the heating ducts once... if it smelled remotely close to that I am SO SORRY.

R.I.P. downstairs neighbor.

Then he didn't die today. Takes about three weeks for neighbors to smell it.

Depends on the weather / how warm it was in that downstairs neighbour's apartment.

You can't tell if they died today. Dead bodies don't smell until after 3 days or more

He could of been there for weeks.

ALL FMLS have to start with the word "today". It puts it in there for ya, I believe.

Uh dead bodies begin to smell in just a few hours. It's even worse if it's warm. The muscles holding the stomach and bowels release and cell tissue immediately begins to break down...
