Today, I was thinking about how people say if you're gradually introduced to a smell or you're forced to deal with enough, you'll stop noticing it. And how untrue that is. Especially when your roommates sneak a dead rabbit under your bed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that the horrible stench haunting my apartment for the past week was the decomposing corpse of my freedom loving gerbil underneath the bed that I've been sleeping on. FML
Today, I found out that the mysterious smell from under my bed was my cats collection of dead mice. FML
Today, I learned that bunnies mark for territory. And when I say mark, they do a 360 no scope piss and spray everything all over the walls. The smell is horrendous. FML
Today, I found dog poop in my room that had probably been there for days. My girlfriend, who was watching the house, said she didn't realize it was there, because she thought it was the smell of her own farts. FML
Today, I got a new roommate in the dorms. When I got back to my room, I could smell her feet before I even opened my door. FML
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 learned that the "nasty smell" in my room, which I cannot detect, does not exist. It was just my stepmother trying to make me go insane deep-cleaning my room for her personal amusement. 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, 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 finally found out what the weird sour smell that's been in my dorm room for a while is. My roommate's sweat. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

As self depracating as this may be, I'll admit something: I tend to sweat a lot, despite taking thorough showers daily (at worst bi-daily), so I know I don't really smell good usually (I use tons of deodorant or cologne, but I still sweat somehow, or my feet act up instead...). But yeah, I can barely notice it. And at times when I leave the windows of my room open, I notice a slight difference in the freshness of my room; plus my mom usually says my room stinks too, lol. But even as I breathe right now, I don't notice anything. So it's true, you do get used to scents. I've even noticed when I go to other people's houses, there's a weird smell, and none of them ever seem to notice it. I'm sure I've got the exact same scenario with my house. Luckily, I've realized this, so about 10 minutes before I expect guests, I whip out the febreze ;)

Talk to a doctor. That's a medical condition and probably treatable.

That's a lot of words for saying your roomate put a dead bunny under your bed.

I think it's nicely written. The FML's are written for amusement, and building some suspense in a few lines of text is very clever. I like it. Also, OP, this is disgusting and a serious health hazard. Call the police on those bastards. It makes me wonder what you did to deserve this, though.

I totally agree, I love how this was written. XD

Thank you #45 Poor OP, but it's absolutely true. The only reason we don't 'smell' air is that our brains adapt, and thus consider what we interact with constantly to be normal.

Ew, gross! But if you're roommates - wouldn't they smell it too? Unless they don't spend much time in the room, or you meant housemates or whatever... But yeah, chuck it under their bed. Or under a pillow. I'd like to see how they'd react to a dead bunny on their pillow - sweet dreams! But that's still gross, I'd freak out. Also, I know the smell thing works because people I know with dogs...their houses smell of dog! But they don't notice it because they live and have grown used to it. I don't think rotting corpses would be quite the same thing...

Hell, I think she should stuff it IN the pillow. She might not have the rabbit anymore, but a dead mouse would work.
