Today, my sense of smell is severely impaired by a bad cold. As a result, I inadvertently ate some highly questionable dairy. I figured this out after my roommate sniffed my yogurt and gagged, just before my bowels had their opportunity to object to my meal. FML

Today, I got a brand new down comforter and duvet cover that I really liked. I'd finally managed to put everything the way I wanted it, and then my roommate's dog came and peed all over my bed. FML

Today, my baseball team had a game and one of our best players was injured sliding into first. I'm pretty fast so when the coach called my name I grabbed a helmet assuming it was finally my chance to get in the game. Turns out he just wanted me to get ice. The entire team couldn't stop laughing. FML

Touching story

By Kahlilah Kilgore - 20/10/2019 16:00

Today, I was half asleep when my cat came over to cuddle. I was petting her in the dark when I felt what I thought was a patch of matted fur under her neck, as if she had been injured and bleeding. Alarmed, I felt for that spot again and found myself holding her tail. What I'd felt was in fact my cat's anus. FML

Most yogurt has a "Use By Date" on it which is not exactly the same as an expiration date. I have eaten some yogurt after its "Use By Date" but that's only about one or two weeks later at the latest. You can also totally eat yogurt past its expiration date--but probably only at one or two weeks tops. In OP's case, there could have been other signs besides a bad smell that her yogurt went bad such as discoloration or excess liquid.

You’re actually supposed to stay away from dairy with a cold, it can lead to making it worse. That sucks though, OP.

All foods have expiration dates on them. You should have checked that. In fact, you should always check that - never rely only on your sense of smell.
