Today, I vacuumed my car as I'm trying to sell it. After the interior was clean, I sprayed some air freshener. The chosen smell was "new car". I think they mislabeled it, as my car now smells like urinal cakes. I have two potential buyers coming tomorrow. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I cleaned my entire house. Ready for a fresh finishing touch in the bedroom, I grabbed the Febreze and lightly sprayed over my clean bedding, carpeting, and clothing. Then a pungent odor hit me. It seems someone forgot to label the bottle when they filled it with vinegar instead. FML
Today, my boyfriend thought the garbage can in our kitchen smelled bad. Instead of cleaning it, he had it equipped with a Wunderbaum. Our entire house now smells like "New Car". FML
Today, I bought a used SUV that had fairly dirty carpets, that got even more dirty as I drove my two daughters around. I got it professionally cleaned and detailed and it looks brand new, but now my daughters cry and scream as I put them in the clean car, because their favorite stain is not there anymore. FML
Today, I bought some expensive fabric softener since I'm not too keen on my detergent's smell. Only after washing two weeks worth of laundry did I discover that mixed together they realistically mimic the smell of fresh puke. FML
Today, I cleaned out my filthy car. I found an odd, unlabeled tin under the seat, and opened it out of curiosity. It sprayed stinking juice everywhere and filled the house with a horrifying smell. It was Surströmming, half rotten fish, that someone must have stuck in as a prank. FML
Today, my loving fiancé informed me that my new perfume makes me smell like a urinal cake. FML
Today, when I took off my shoes to change into my work boots, I smelled dog poop. I must have stepped in it on the way to my car this morning. Guess what the floor mat of my brand new car looks (and smells) like… FML
Today, I went to look at a used car I was really looking forward to driving. It wasn't in as good condition as I'd hoped. The seller still expected me to buy it, even after he had to spray in half a can of Oklahoma Choke octane booster just to get it to fire up. FML
Today, it was my first day as a vacuum salesman. While I was demonstrating how well it removed stains, I managed to smear stuff over the area I was cleaning. So not only was I unsuccessful in removing the original stains, I left them with worse carpet than when I got there. FML
Today, I kept smelling the pleasant odor of baking bread while driving around. Tonight, I realized that the smell of yeast was actually coming from a cup of moldy smoothie that got missed and left in a cup holder in the back of my car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Can't you buy another air freshener to take that odor away?

Number 1: So you like a car that smells like urine? I guess we all have different preferences.

Maybe you mislabeled it
philipino 24
Maybe the hospital mislabeled you to the wrong person, that person was an asshole, and raised you to use stupid ass comebacks.
robbydoherty 0
Dumbass, I meant maybe he read it wrong, you're the type of friend that nobody likes
philipino 24
Oh I read that as maybe your mom mislabeled that. I will take my 30 lashes now.
philipino 24
Whatever, if you wanted the truth, there it is. If you want to thumb it down because you think it's a lie, suit yourself. I'm done here.
robbydoherty 0
Lol, u mad bro? You seem to take the effort to get me mad. Try again next time.
philipino 24
I'm not trying to make you mad. I'm trying to tell you the truth.
philipino 24
Lol, but it seems like you're trying to make me mad. Whatever. It was a true apology, and if you want to be a dick about it, suit yourself. I'm not trying to troll on FML. Take my word on this. I skim a lot. I'm an asshole, sure. But I read it as "maybe your mom mislabeled it". Forgive me for telling the truth.

It was a bad choice of scents anyways...just sayin

Its clearly not a new car, so why would you want to scent it like one?
periwinkle95 10
So he can ******* sell it.
AgeOfTerror 10
I meant that if both he and the buyer know that it's in-fact not a new car, what's the point of scenting it LIKE one? I'm aware the reason is to sell it, but I'd personally buy a different scent.
