Gross and Miscellaneous: Smells like victory

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, I got a new roommate in the dorms. When I got back to my room, I could smell her feet before I even opened my door. FML

Today, I found dog poop in my room that had probably been there for days. My girlfriend, who was watching the house, said she didn't realize it was there, because she thought it was the smell of her own farts. FML

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, I walked into the house only to be greeted by the strongest smell of dung. I asked my mom about it, and it turns out she's been airing these strange herbs throughout the house, most of which are in my bedroom. She won't let me open the window. FML

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

Today, I returned home after a four day weekend at my parents' house. Upon entering by the front door, a horrid stench assaulted my nose. Hours later I still cannot find the source of the foul odor. I'm starting to wonder if this is how it's always smelled without my knowing. FML

Today, I cleaned my entire apartment hoping to find the source of the terrible odor I've been smelling for the past week. It's me. FML

Today, I walked into my apartment after work, only be to greeted by an awful smell. I searched every inch of the place, convinced something had died. After an hour of searching around, I found the source: a single forgotten boiled egg in one of my backpack's pockets. I will never forget the smell of sulphur or whatever it was. FML

Today, I found out that the horrible stench haunting my apartment for the past week was the decomposing corpse of my freedom loving gerbil underneath the bed that I've been sleeping on. 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

my sister works at a fast food place and her shoes stink so bad, we had to ask her to start putting them in the garage when she got home. Hopefully the stench isn't of natural causes that can be bad. still gotta love her tho!

The only way to fix this is by "burning her feet"... The fire will kill the stench

Thanks for the comments guys, some of them helpful, others just plain funny! I'm not sure what happened yesterday, my girlfriend showers everyday and though her feet have smelled once or twice in the past, normally they're no worse than the next person, but this just seemed like something created the perfect storm of stink for some reason! It was really weird. She always wears open toed shoes (she has a favourite type, forget what they're called), you would think that would keep her feet cool and dry (and not smelling!) at this time of year but it just didn't work this time for some reason!

Sometimes it can be the shoes themselves that stink. If so, they might need a wash. That's partly why socks are important for shoes that you wear on a regular basis: so they don't get smelly. That's probably not much help considering she wears "open toed shoes", but anything that might help is worth a thought.
