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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 finally determined the source of the horrible smell that periodically invades my apartment: there's nothing wrong with the plumbing as I previously thought, I can just smell my neighbors pooping in their bathroom on the other side of the wall. FML
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 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, my downstairs neighbor died. I knew because the smell wafted up to my apartment. 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 finally found out what the weird sour smell that's been in my dorm room for a while is. My roommate's sweat. FML
Today, I came home to a terrible smell in the apartment. Three hours, and a scoured kitchen later, I took the trash out. The smell was not my apartment, but from just across the alley; a neighbor had moved and emptied their fridge. Six more days of sunned milk until pickup. FML
Today, I woke up to a weird smell in my apartment. I checked everywhere but couldn’t find the source. After a while, I discovered the smell was coming from the pile of laundry I'd left in the corner, laundry that I thought was clean. It was the gym clothes I'd thrown in there three weeks ago. FML
Today, I realized my morbidly obese, sweaty sibling is the source of a strange waft I've been smelling when I get home. He'll only shower once a week, so the apartment and furniture smell like sweat and sometimes poo, especially on hot days. I didn't notice until I went outside and stepped back in to follow my nose. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That kinda happened to my dad. Except in his case, the police came to his door and asked if he'd seen his across the hall neighbor, because the people below that apartment had a terrible smelling slime dripping from their ceiling. Honestly, that's probably much worse.

Also @248, the smell of decay is very strong and it will spread.

some of you people are tards. The original poster Michael said the police found his neighbor dead. Let's break this down. Apartment indicates a single unit inside a building with mulitple separate living quarters. Neighbor indicates someone that lives near you. Died means someone has ceased to exist. The original Poster did NOT say anyone was murdered, he did not say anyone was found INSIDE his apartment dead. I'm amazed at how people take a teeny bit of information and add their own assumptions to complete the story. Finally - how many people know what a decomposing corpse smells like? I wouldn't think for a second to call 911 and say "Uhm yeah, my apartment stinks, could my neighbor be dead?" Finally - if you are not one of the tards I'm talking about - you won't be offended.
