Today, I over-boiled some potatoes. I was having a bad day and this tipped me over the edge. I burst into tears and threw the potatoes all over my kitchen. I then stomped on the piping hot potatoes. The bottoms of my feet are blistered and still feel like they’re burning. FML

Today, I was watching TV in my living room while my wife was cooking. I began to smell the aroma of her potato soup, which made me hungry. Suddenly, I realized that the smell wasn't my wife's cooking but was in fact my body odor. 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 found a mysterious container in the back of my fridge. I opened it to try and figure out what it was. I still don't know what it was, but now my entire flat smells like it. FML

I'm tired
Today, I came home tired and hungry from work. I put my feet up and sat down with a big bowl of chips and salsa. I thought I must've been really hungry because my regular no-name salsa tasted way better than usual. I looked down to examine the jar. Looks like I like the taste of mold. FML

Was it cooked and then rotted or rotten and then cooked? That's an important distinction.

If you were able to smell it first why would you eat it?

How does one smell a rotten potato and think, "hmm this smells bad...better take a taste."

<p>There's no way if the potato was rotten that you would have eaten any of it. The smell is horrible and hits you way before you get any near your mouth.</p>

Yes, OP should've smelled the potatoe being off, but shouldn't he/she have seen it as well?

<p>Hey guys, it's the OP here. For whatever reason, this posted anonymously, but whatever.</p> <p>To answer why I ate the thing, it's mostly because I couldn't actually figure out where the smell was coming from, and kind of because it was in the form of pre-cut and packaged wedges, so it was somewhat hidden. I assumed that the smell was from neighbours putting down compost (to give you a hint to what it smelled like). We (as in, me and my mum) were going to complain to the company, but decided
