Miscellaneous: Hello?

Hello?

By noquiero - 21/06/2012 18:13 - United Kingdom - Peterlee

Today, someone rang my doorbell. The moment I opened the door, a smell not unlike a cascading torrent of rotting flesh and urine hit my nostrils. I stood there for an eternity as a homeless man leaned on my door and desperately tried to convince me to buy an array of scrap metal from him. FML

Today, I had to take a delivery to a known hoarder. I was braced for the sight of the house, but not the naked fat guy and the smell of dead cat when he answered the door. To top it off, they didn't even tip me. FML

Today, I answered the door at my boyfriend's house to an obese woman, who looked and smelled homeless, and rudely tried to barge past me to get inside. I told her to get out or I’d call the police. My boyfriend behind me saw this disgusting woman and said those two awful words: “Hi Mom.” FML

Today, it was an unusually hot day and I saw one of my friends walking down the street carrying a large bag. I stopped and asked if he needed a ride. When he got in, I noticed a horrible stench. He then told me he'd just been dumpster diving. FML

Today, I came home to my front door open and a homeless man taking a 'bath' in my sink. If this wasn't bad enough, he refused to leave because 'finders keepers!' FML

Creepy season is over

By Michael - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

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, a guy rang my doorbell, yelled "Happy Halloween" and then threw a bunch of leaves that he'd lit on fire at me. FML

Today, I was accosted by an angry homeless man at the recycling center, since I refused to give him my saved up bottles and cans. He insisted that he needed it more and I was "poaching his turf". I needed the recycling to put gas in my car, just to make it to work and hope I could make it back home. FML

Today, whilst at a red light in my car, a homeless man with a spray bottle and a dirty rag came over to clean my windows. He started with the driver's window, which was wide open, and whatever was in his spray bottle smelled suspiciously like urine. FML

Today I had a customer come into my office smelling like feces, urine and body odor. I tried not to get sick to my stomach but failed miserably. I threw up in my trash can in front of him. It now smells like feces, urine, body odor and vomit in here. FML

At least he's trying to make something of himself.

I hate it when people say a hobo will buy drugs or alcohol with the money you give him. He probably still worked for the money, because it's in the hobo code of ethics to not beg for money. That's like not paying an employee, because "he might buy drugs".

Aww. Poor homeless guy. You should've just bought it :( Or at least fixed him a sack lunch from your kitchen and given him a few of the old clothes that you might be taking to goodwill (or a place like it) if you have any. At least he was trying

Tell him to get a job, instead of relying on other peoples hard earned money.

I assume he worked to get the scrap metal, and he would be happy to get a job so he WASN'T POOR. No offense, but you can't just go with the stereotype of hobos that say they are worthless people who just mooch off of people. Usually homeless people try very hard to earn money.

Yeah, because he probably chose to be in a situation so desperate that he's ended up selling scrap metal and most likely suffering from some kind of horrendous illness (going off the smell of rotting flesh OP mentioned)... He should clearly just suck it up and get a job; it's always that easy after all.
