Today, I ran over a recently-killed skunk in the road. My truck now smells absolutely rancid, and the smell will probably last for months. At least it goes well with my dog, who was also skunked 6 weeks ago. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my house absolutely reeks of skunk after my dog got tagged at 10pm last night and we didn’t realize it until she was already back inside. This is on top of a nasty case of whole body poison ivy my 6 year-old is dealing with, and my wife’s appendix decided to leave the chat last week. FML
Today, I ran over my third skunk in over 16 days. I should probably return my driver's license to the DMV. FML
Today, my dog decided to play with a skunk. Today is also the day I figured out that no matter how much you wash everything that's come in contact with the smell, it will never go away. FML
Today, I spent five hours in the back seat of a car with two dogs. Both had been sprayed by a skunk earlier in the day. One had a gas problem. FML
Today, my dog and I got sprayed by a skunk. I have no tomato juice or baking soda, and the bus doesn't come for another 3 hours. FML
Today, after coming home, my apartment reeked of something fierce. Small animals frequently like to crawl under my apartment since I live next to a wooded area. Apparently, skunks are among those who like to visit, and Febreze isn't helping. FML
Today, my cat got sprayed by a skunk for the fifth time in two years. He still loves to chase skunks, and gets sprayed every time he does. The putrid scent doesn’t seem to bother him at all, either. Every night, he normally pushes himself up against my face and nose. It’s gonna be a long, restless smelly few days. FML
Today, my dog ran away. It was dark, so I couldn't see very well, but I ran after him anyway. Thinking I had caught up to him, I grabbed him. It wasn't my dog. It was a skunk. FML
Today, after frolicking in some long grass near a lake, my dog got back in the car smelling strongly of poop. Upon further investigation, I discovered that a sewer had overflowed in the area. My dog rolled around in human faeces. FML
Today, I took my dog to the park. It had recently rained, and he started rolling in something unidentifiable. When I got home, I discovered it was a mixture of mud and who knows what else. Now my house smells like a swamp. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The dog still stinking isn't my fault. I was away and my parents had the dog. When it happened, my father asked me what he should do. I gave him the recipe for the Peroxide-baking-soda-dish-soap mix, and then he got all indignant like he always does when he thinks someone is trying to tell him what to do. So, my dog got an initial bath with water and some weak, all-natural shampoo instead, and now me and my father aren't speaking. that alone could have been an FML.

Well, that stinks. Rest in peace, Pepe Le Pew. That aside, lemon juice works wonders on the scent of death. Might be worth looking into, and applying via a spray bottle.

I run over dead skunks just about every day. The smell is gone within a few mins. If you're dog still stinks 6 weeks later, you deserve it for not cleaning your dog.

Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, dude.

Hunting and sporting stores ususaly have products to help remove the smell, and im sure you can find some on amazon. Tomato juice and baking soda helps, as well as peroxide and lemon juice. The odor likes to settle into anything pourous, including hair and fur, so longer fur dogs have more of an issue.

Avoid the tomato juice. It doesn’t work any better than the other home remedies, makes a mess, and depending on color of the pooch, can stain it. Of course, Halloween is coming up, so pup would be ready for it.

That might sound weird, but tomato sauce relieves the smell At least on the dog that is

Bathe the dog in tomato juice.

So I guess that makes it your turn now to get skunked.
