Today, our hot water tank got replaced because all our hot water had been smelling old and musty for a month now. There was a dead seagull in the tank. FML

Today, when going to fill up the kettle, I noticed a bad smell and pieces of something coming out of the tap. Turns out there was a dead snake in my water supply. FML

Today, I discovered that the rancid stench in my bathroom was a decaying carcass of a mouse in my toilet tank. FML

Today, at the beach, a seagull conveyed its opinion of my cigarette by taking a dump on it, putting it out. Seems they have anti-tobacco sniper seagulls now. FML

Today, it was a little colder than it should be for this time of year, and as a result I was using the heater in my car. Apparently within the last four months, a mouse managed to make his way into my heater vent and die. I can not get the smell of death out of my car. FML

Today, I discovered the source of the vile stench in my room. My daughter had "saved" a bird from our cat and put it in a box under my bed, hoping to nurse it back to health. She forgot about it, leaving the corpse rotting in there for who knows how long. FML

Today, my friends and I ran through a flock of resting seagulls. The birds took to the skies and chased after us, covering us in shit. FML

Today, after a stressful series of events, I went to the beach to unwind. I sat on the sand, breathed in deeply and closed my eyes, trying to find some sort of inner peace. Then a seagull shat on me. FML

Today, I noticed my shower drain wasn't draining well. I cleaned it out, thinking it was just a rat's nest of hair. Wrong. It was an actual dead rat. FML

Today, I popped into the shower hoping to come out all warm and clean. Something was very wrong with the pipes, and I came out smelling like sewage instead. FML

I'm not sure how a bird can get into a tank like that, but what is more interesting is that you still were able to tell what kind of bird was in there after a month of boiling it.

Did it not occur to you to have the tank cleaned before paying all that money to replace it? Still, it sucks to have a dead critter get inside your tank.

How the heck did it get inside there? Did you accidentally leave a french fry in the hot water tank?

Well at least maybe the hot water was hot enough to help sanitize it a bit?

Soooooo... Here in my country we don't have those things (had to look at google images to see what it was hahaha). But from what I could see it is something that is supposed to stay closed, right? How did the bird get in? Also, why do you have hot water tanks? Like, why doesn't the shower, tap, or whatever, have a mecanism of their own to heat the water? Does it stay turned on all day? Wouldn't that be a hell of an energy waste? Sorry for the questions, but I got curious XD I would be veeery happy if someone were to clarify it for me, thanks! :)

Yep, we use giant tanks full of water heated to around 125 degrees Fahrenheit(Sorry, I don't know the Celsius conversion and I'm too lazy to Google it), and yes they stay on all the time. Independent heaters do exist for faucets, but they are still relatively uncommon in the good ol' U.S.A.
