Today, I actually used Febreze as a substitute for deodorant. FML

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

Today, I'm so chronically sleep-deprived that I sprayed a bathroom air freshener under my arms instead of my deodorant. FML

Today, I was apparently tired enough to spray silly string under my armpits rather than deodorant. FML

Broke boy
Today, I realized that I'd run out of deodorant. On top of that, I was late to work so I had to run, making me all sweaty and smelly. To cover it up, I used the air-freshener in the toilet at work. Everyone recognized the "Lemon Tree" scent and now all of my colleagues think I'm a cheap bastard. FML

The pits
Today, I was running late for work and grabbed what I thought was my deodorant. Turns out, it was my husband's foot spray. Now I'm at the office smelling like a combination of roses and athlete's foot. FML

Today, I found out that someone had peed into the bottle of Febreze that we keep in the dorm bathroom. I found this out when I sprayed it onto my coat to get rid of a weird smell. FML

Today, my mom informed me that she doesn't wash my clothes anymore. Instead, she sprays them with Febreze to "save money". FML

Today, while at work, I was trying to locate the source of the really bad BO wafting around, when I realized I'd forgotten to put on deodorant this morning. I have 5 hours of shame left to go. FML

Hey, at least you didn't resort to rubbing cut up citrus fruit on your clothing.

It can't be that hard to buy some deodorant. Js or better yet. Take a shower?

We all have to do whatever we have to do when out of something we need, but think "hey, this stuff can substitute".

If I'm weighed down with class or traveling a lot and don't have time to do laundry, I use fabreeze. Anyone else do this? My ex called it disgusting, and said I was a 15 yr old trapped in a 20 something body. But I actually think its more common than people think....I hope.

I don't know how to spell febreze apparently.

Get a job if you're that poor and can't afford something as simple as deodorant.

I'm sure you have a 99 cent store in your area you can pick up some deodorant, cheap, affordable, and no skin burn. As soon as you get time go get some there.
