Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, as I was leaving for work, I discovered my neighbor had just passed away. I found out when I came across his body lying in my front yard. FML

Creepy season is over
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, less than a day after my cranky downstairs neighbor passed away, I woke up to banging sounds against his apartment ceiling, like the ones he used to make whenever I walked around during the night. I'm shitting myself in fear. FML

Today, I heard my asshole neighbor had died of a stroke. I was outside and said, "Well it's about goddamn time!" I turned around to see his wife walking her dog and staring deep into my soul. FML

Smells like victory
Today, I opened my front door to be greeted by what I can only describe as the stink of death. After moving furniture and lifting floorboards, frantically searching for whatever had died, I finally discovered the actual source of the stench - my girlfriend's feet. FML

Today, after three days of getting stared at by my neighbour from the window, I realized that she wasn't alive anymore. FML

Today, I found out that my upstairs neighbor has a cat. I was blessed with this knowledge when she threw several piles of used kitty litter and cat poop over her balcony and onto my patio. FML

Today, I was painting my new house when my neighbor introduced himself. Mid-conversation, he said, "The lady who lived here was nice, but just couldn't get over her husband hanging himself in the garage. Or her son shooting himself in the basement." I'll never sleep again. FML

Parting shit
Today, I came home to the vilest stench I've ever smelled. I had to open a floor vent and scoop up the turd that was inside. Funnily enough, today was the day my scumbag roommate moved out, but I'm sure he had absolutely nothing to do with it. FML

I had a pet mouse die in the heating ducts once... if it smelled remotely close to that I am SO SORRY.

Good lord. I've seen too many horror movies that begin like this.

I'm pretty sure your neighbor has been dead a a little than you think...
xXxIracebethxXx 14
#52 - That's the FML. The neighbor's been dead for quite a while and finally the smell of decay reached him.
RaggleFrock 13
**** the dead persons life. Nobody noticed this guy died, no friends or family? poor guy.
ShroomsOnAcid 17
71, At least he's dead now, so he's released from whatever troubles he had in life. Maybe his life sucked, seeing as how no one noticed he passed away, but finally, it doesn't matter anymore.

ZOMBIES!!!!!! Careful OP they play dead.

I feel bad for your neighbor I wonder who did his funeral. No one even noticed he passed away. FYL OP because the smell is gross .

Hopefully he doesn't haunt the place

I love how you all assume the dead guy had no friends or family. Immediately after death the body begins to break down and everything gets released. It doesn't take long to start smelling horrendous. Also, it's pretty normal to go a day or two without seeing friends/family. Try to think before getting so sentimental.

He needs a shower
SugarCrazy 14
I don't think a shower would help the smell of decomposing flesh.

Or the shit the bowels loosened when he died...

I have a really hard time believing this fml. It seems so fake.

Did it smell nice?
FirstTigerHobbes 13
Well unless you have a fetish for the smell of dead corpse. Then no.

I didn't just get turned on, I didn't just get turned on, I didn't just get turned on.

Don't fight it iAmScrubs, because evidently, I think we all got turned on!

Sarcasm.
FirstTigerHobbes 13
No that was not sarcasm. It was a question. Example of sarcasm? "I bet it smelled wonderful!"

In what way does a heart problem relate to masturbation?

Don't worry. The cops read FML. They'll be right over.

That's is f**king gross. How has no one noticed he was gone yet.
desireev 18
Somebody did notice. They could smell him. And he wasn't gone. He was there. That's how the abundant smell of death got into OPs apartment. Just stating the obvious.
ShroomsOnAcid 17
He meant "gone" as in "dead".

(As an addition to 80's comment) Just stating the obvious.
Ozuru 11
Ouch. Though, due to laws of physics, how did that happen? The smell wouldn't be going up naturally, it would be going down...he must be about a week old. FYL.
Savra_fml 17
Ouch. If your physics teacher taught you these laws, naturally you should change your teacher or subject. FYL.
boycrazy30007 12
I know! He's probably one of those stupid ***** who pulls shot out of their ass to sound smart. He's probably never taken a physics class in his life
TourettesGuyFTW 26
Law of diffusion = chemistry. Decay & death = biology. Not really much physics involved.
ShroomsOnAcid 17
Actually, 75, physics deals with the motion of matter, which is what 10 was referencing, albeit incorrectly.
maosquare 18
Well, I suppose you can say Biology is applied Chemistry, and Chemistry is applied Physics.
kimmy91 12
When someone passes away their body can start to smell really quickly. I'm a nurse and have seen alot of death. I'm sorry OP, I hope you weren't close to your neighbor because that's really sad. Sounds like they died alone :(

Actually, it would be diffusion and therefore go everywhere there is air..
