Today, I found out the reason my clothes have been smelling a little funny isn't because I sweat heavily, it's because of the dead rat in the back of my dryer. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I discovered why there was such a horrible stench in my bedroom. My cat had a secret stash of shit under my dresser. Along with the carcass of a rat. FML
Today, I noticed my shower drain wasn't draining well. I cleaned it out, thinking it was just a rat's nest of hair. Wrong. It was an actual dead rat. 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 finally found out what the horrible smell at work was. A rat had decided to make its home in our emergency exit sign and had been fried by the electricity. I now have to fix this. Hello scorched dead rat. FML
Today, I found out that the mysterious smell from under my bed was my cats collection of dead mice. FML
Today, I woke up to the news that my son had put the cat in the dryer the night before. He didn't turn it on, and the cat is just fine, but now I need a new dryer so my clothes won't smell like cat urine. FML
Today, I discovered that the rancid stench in my bathroom was a decaying carcass of a mouse in my toilet tank. 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 found out that the horrific smell coming from somewhere in my kitchen was a rotting dead mouse that somehow got stuck in my dishwasher. I have been eating off plates washed in dead mouse water for the past week. FML
Today, I discovered why my house smells like death. Apparently, because of the rain, a whole load of worms crawled into my garage and died. They're everywhere. FML

Wasn't there an FML about a dead mouse in a dishwasher not too long ago? How do people not notice these things?

Why do you keep dead rats in your dryer? It's not a good place to keep them. I prefer the fridge so they stay fresh.

You should be relieved, now you know you're not naturally appalling! :]

Ew. YDI. Learn to, you know, not be a disgusting pig with rats in your house and the problem goes away. I never understood how people can stand to be that disgustingly filthy.

If the OP was that "disgustingly filthy" he wouldn't have been washing his clothes at all.

He had rats. That is *disgustingly* filthy. Washing your clothes is a minor detail when you are living in enough filth to attract rats. Hell, it takes a lot to attract *mice*, and it takes even more to get them chases off by rats.

All it takes is a warm dry house to attract mice in the winter. We get them every year and our house is pretty damn clean. We have found the hole on the outside where they get in and out and blocked it so hopefully we wont get them this year. Our mice never really left the walls though because there weren't really places for them to get in and out of. The only holes were in the basement, which, coincidentally, is where our drier is.

you're an idiot, rodents don't just scope out the filthiest places they can. they look for anywhere habitable, especially when it gets cold. my house is a couple hundred years old, not exactly a fortress, and just because i'm not throwing food all over the floors doesn't mean mice don't think it's a nice place to stay.

Houses can be spotless and have rats/mice. They like warm climates with easy access of food which is what a house is. Idiot

Fake, a dead rat would smell so terrible you'd know it from the point of entering the house. A hot dead rat would smell worse.

Somehow, I doubt you could mistake the smell of a dead rodent for the smell of sweat, and if you can, then I don't want to know what you smell like after a work out.
