Today, my mum got the idea of switching to a different dishwashing detergent. The new one is so strong that it coats all the dishes in a nauseating perfume-like smell. It's so pungent that it gets absorbed into everything we eat or drink. She's determined to use up the entire bottle. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my mother cleans the dishes with bathroom cleaning chemicals. She doesn't see anything wrong with this. FML
Today, I bought some expensive fabric softener since I'm not too keen on my detergent's smell. Only after washing two weeks worth of laundry did I discover that mixed together they realistically mimic the smell of fresh puke. FML
Today, my mom continued her search for a special, super-healthy laundry detergent that she knows makes me break out in hives. FML
Today, I discovered that the "dish soap" my sister uses to clean our dishes when it's her turn, is actually a semi-toxic floor cleaner. FML
Today, my dishes smelled so perfume-y after going through the dishwasher and a clean glass of water tasted soapy. I checked the pods my husband bought and loaded into the dishwasher to make sure we never got that brand again. They were laundry detergent pods. I was essentially a millennial eating a Tide Pod. FML
Today, my mom proudly told me that she found the perfect thing to combat my B.O. Extra strength degreaser. FML
Today, something smelled absolutely disgusting in the bathroom. Like cow shit and stinky beetles. I started sniffing around, because whatever it was, I had to find it and clean it up. That, however, proved difficult, because it turned out that smell was coming from the new soap my mom had bought. FML
Today, my mom informed me that she doesn't wash my clothes anymore. Instead, she sprays them with Febreze to "save money". FML
Today, I realized that I get turned on by my girlfriend's perfume. My mother started using the same one. FML
Today, my overly-clean mum decided to drop by and surprise me by cleaning my house while I was out jogging. She used half a bottle of bleach, and now it hurts to blink, let alone breathe. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What's that you say, Mother? The dish detergent vanished mysteriously? No, no, I have no idea how the empty bottle got into the trash, or where the soap went. I guess we'll just have to try a different kind now...

Hello, paper plates and plastic utensils.

This is really such an easy fix. Sincerest face possible: Gosh mom, I'm sorry I accidentally dropped the bottle of dish soap & it broke & spilled! I bought you some more to replace it! ( get old brand. If the stuffs this awful you should have no trouble getting everyone else in the house to contribute a bit of money)

Or you know, rinse your dishes after washing and not just leave soap drying on them

Put a half a cup of vinegar in the rinse water to cut it. Sorry.

Knock the bottle upside-down into the sink when it's open. I have lost a LOT of dish soap that way because my cat is always on the counter.
