Today, after recently breaking up with my boyfriend, I unknowingly washed my laundry using his washing tabs. My whole wardrobe now smells like my ex. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I washed my clothes in the shared laundry room. All my clothes came out smelling like smoke. FML
Today, I discovered that my expensive new shampoo smells exactly like my ex-girlfriend. So now, whenever I shower, I'm showered with depression. 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, after finishing the laundry, I took clothes out of the dryer and took a big whiff of their delicious clean scent. That was when I noticed that my mom was watching me, and I had just smelled my dad's still-stained underwear that was on top. 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 tried to gently tell my boyfriend that he needs to wash his clothes more often as some of them smell pretty musty. He got all pissy (no pun intended) and assured me that none of his exes ever complained about a smell. I can’t even go down on the guy because his crotch smells bad. FML
Today, I came home to find my fiancé trying to do laundry. His version was "rubbing the smelly spots with baby powder". Looks like I'll be the only one doing laundry for the rest of our lives. FML
Today, I found out that my ex-boyfriend stole a pair of my underwear, and still wears them to this day. FML
Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend at the store. Before I knew what was happening, he'd sniffed me and started whimpering about how I don't smell like I used to. He does this kind of crazy shit all the time. FML
Today, I was doing the laundry but couldn't tell if one basket contained dirty clothes or clean clothes. I put my head down into the basket and took a whiff to check, and smelled something strong. I looked down and noticed I had shoved my nose into my mother's dirty panties and inhaled deeply. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Didn't you learn your lesson after you made a similar mistake in the shower?

Clearly the only option is to burn down her house. Much easier solution.

Why did you wash your entire wardrobe?

She may be one of those people that waits until the very last possible moment to do laundry. Or maybe she was just trying to get his smell out of her clothes.

Or the smell rubbed off on the rest.

Accept that you smell good and move on. (Assuming your ex's clothes smelled good) most people add perfume or cologne to their morning routine anyways, so if you don't want to waste the water to rewash, smell faintly like him and wear perfume.

Well logically speaking, you could rewash it all, rather than complaining about something that could be fixed. But, maybe you're illogical, so I guess you'll just have to live with the pain until you wear it and it ends up needing to be washed again soon anyway.

I'm gonna wash that man right out of my ha... Oh shit...
HelloSirs 14
I may be not thinking right, but I have no idea what word that "ha..." was forming.

That comment was so incredibly witty and original. You should go to an open mic comedy club, but beware of wayward chairs.

I see a number of solutions. Rewash your clothes Febreze them Burn down your house. Or you could get over it.

Another solution, which would be my favourite; donate all the evilsmelling clothes to goodwill, and go shopping for an entire new wardrobe!

Damnit! Now it's either rewash (which is a waste of time) or smell him everywhere you go. But this could be a good thing. It'll remind you why you left him and well men always smell better than women!

Men do not always smell better than women. Unless you like it when a man reeks of sweat and grime.

we do not always smell like sweat and grime, quite the contrary. unless you find the weirdos who don't wash themselves, even if we smell for a short period of time, we groom and shower. so no, we don't smell.

I've smelled more raunchy men than women in my life.

I didn't mean all the time. I'd hope men would shower. But yes, I've encountered the few who don't know showers and soap exist... When I walk past them its like the odor wafts across the hallway.

Put the clothes in a bag. generously spray your favorite scent you own on them. Close the bag, then shake. Enjoy your scent creation.
