Today, the worst part about not having a sense of smell is that I can’t tell if anyone ate pizza without me. Unless I see an empty box in the trash. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after I learned a long time ago that it's prudent to smell your shredded cheese as with milk to check its freshness, that lesson came into play when I doubted the quality of some cheese my roommate was going to use for nachos. I smelled it and got the dry heaves from the stink. He can't smell anything. FML
Today, I realised I can tell which family member has just left the bathroom from the smell alone. FML
Today, my sense of smell is severely impaired by a bad cold. As a result, I inadvertently ate some highly questionable dairy. I figured this out after my roommate sniffed my yogurt and gagged, just before my bowels had their opportunity to object to my meal. FML
Today, the smell of my own fart made me feel hungry. FML
Today, I bought a slice of pizza at my favorite gas station. Upon opening the box, I found that the lone piece of pepperoni visible through the window on the box was in fact the only piece on the whole slice. FML
Today, after a week of wondering why my room smelled terrible, I found the culprit: a moldy sandwich I'd hidden under my bed during a movie night to avoid sharing it with my brother. I don’t know what’s worse - the smell or the fact that I was outsmarted by a sandwich. FML
Today, I brought leftovers to work in a Tupperware container for my lunch. When I opened the container in the break room, it smelled so bad everyone stopped talking. Someone asked if something was spoiled. It wasn’t. It was just my lunch. I ate it anyway, alone. FML
Today, I realized that I can recognize each member of my disgusting family by the sound and smell of their farts. I can’t wait to move out. FML
Today, I ordered a pizza for delivery, and when it arrived, the box was completely empty except for a receipt and a piece of lettuce. I called the restaurant, and they insisted I must’ve eaten it all, and was just pretending. I took a picture of the empty box and the soggy piece of lettuce to prove them wrong. It didn't work. FML
Today, I quit smoking. It seems that when you don't smoke for almost 24 hours, your sense of smell comes back. I then noticed how disgusting my apartment smells. Great. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

On the bright side. No sense of smell, massively curtailed sense of taste so you are not missing much.

Buy your own? Or ask if whoever you live with wants pizza, each of you chip in, and then wait so you don't miss out.

The other worst part is people enlisting you to do the most disgusting cleaning jobs because, hey, at least you don't have to bear the stench. That's what happened to a friend of mine many times.

I mostly breathe through my mouth nature of allergies and a stuffy nose... When my nose is clear, it sometimes burns to breathe through it and I haven't really been able to tell what most smells are since it's mostly just irritation... While I can't always tell what things are by smell, I can kind of taste the air. my mom likes to use air fresheners. They burn my nose if I try breathing through it and they taste horrible when the particles get in my mouth. Yeah I can't smell all the stinky stuff... but I can sure taste it... Someone pooping? Yup, got a big taste of it while walking by. Someone farted... well... that tastes awful too. My cousin says the train station smells like hot ass...I actually don't mind breathing that in. I was in a room with a patient with a really smelly infected wound. I only kind of noticed. Dissecting animals? Everyone else complained about the terrible smell. Not quite terrible for me... someone sprays me with perfume before a date... better change my clothes, I'm gonna be coughing and sneezing all day, and my eyes may be bothering me too... better yet, just take a shower just in case it's on my body too. I stg, lysol and air fresheners and spray may smell good to people, but it tastes awful, especially when you walk by somewhere someone recently sprayed. I'd honestly prefer someone NOT spraying after they pooped if I was going in right after because the sprays affect me so much.

On the up side, at least you'll never have to smell other peoples farts.
