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

Today, my girlfriend offered to wash the bathroom while I was at work. I came back home to find her feeling unwell with a bad headache. She had mixed drain cleaner with bleach because she thought it would make the bathroom cleaner. Now my entire house is a mini gas chamber. FML
Today, I decided to clean the whole house as a surprise for my mother. When she came home, she screamed at me and called me a bitch because she had wanted to clean it herself. FML
Today, my very sheltered girlfriend decided to surprise me by cleaning our apartment. Although she grew up with housekeepers and maids, I thought it was common knowledge that you don’t try cleaning the bathroom with both bleach and ammonia. We still can’t go back inside our place. FML
Today, I was cleaning my bathroom, and accidentally spilled bleach, ruining my shower curtain, rugs, and towels. While attempting to wipe up the bleach, I knocked over a bottle of shower cleaner. It read, "WARNING: DO NOT MIX WITH BLEACH." I still can't go in the house. FML
Today, my mom is on vacation and I’m taking care of her pets. I also get to clean the entire house. No, she didn’t ask me to do that. It’s just that I had to hold my breath every time I opened the fridge, and there is no surface clean enough to actually touch, so I simply couldn’t help myself. FML
Today, I had to be treated for chemical burns, because my mother got the bright idea of using paint thinner to clean me up after I'd painted our living room. FML
Today, while helping my wife clean the bathroom, I stepped in a puddle of neat bleach she'd randomly left by the shower door. I washed it off straight away but now an hour later I have burns on the bottom of my foot and can’t put weight on it. FML
Today, I found out my mother cleans the dishes with bathroom cleaning chemicals. She doesn't see anything wrong with this. FML
Today, my mom told me to clean the house up because she wants to make good impression on the cleaning lady. FML
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

That's dangerous. Perhaps open all the windows to air out your house? Just don't stay in there, inhaling those fumes can affect you.

I'm pretty sure that would only make it worse......

Bleach is extremely harmful, and breathing in the fumes can be pretty dangerous. Talk to your mom about invasion of privacy, and tell her not to do that to her own house, too. For the time being, I wouldn't stick around your place. As mentioned above, airing out your house might help.

It's nice to hear that your mom cares about you enough to clean your house. I can't stand bleach either but at least you have a clean house

Why does she have the key, OP?

Well she is op's mother, I know plenty of mothers who have their child's house/garage keys.

Can your mom come and clean parts of my house? Only parts of it! The rest is fine. I have 3 cats and I know there's a smell, but I don't notice it. Just, no ammonia. Cat urine has ammonia in it and if other cats smell it they will get territorial and pee on random stuff, thus, making the problem worse.

Probably the most disturbing/random/disgusting comment on FML.

Was your mom trying to whiten up your house?

Sounds similar to Abercrombie&Fitch. It hurts to breathe around that store.

I know how you feel OP. I used to have to deal with bleach fairly regularly at my old job, shit sucks.
