Today, my boyfriend made me breakfast because I had a cold. Because my nose was so stuffed, I couldn't tell that our milk had gone bad. I had two cups. And now I'm stuck on the toilet. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend and I were finally able to settle on having a day out together after putting it off for months because of work/other random reasons. This morning I woke up with the worst case of diarrhea I’ve ever had in my life. I won’t be leaving the bathroom anytime soon. FML
Today, I was sitting on the toilet with a really bad and noisy stomach upset. Then I hear a knock on the bathroom door. My boyfriend had decided to make a surprise visit. FML
Today, I was sick and laid up in bed, and my boyfriend decided to bring me some soup. Just as he reached the bed, he tripped over his own feet and spilled the soup all over me. FML
Today, I flushed the toilet while my boyfriend was showering. He responded by throwing a huge fit, saying how if he “gets a cold” from being “forced” to shower in cold water, I’m gonna “have to stay home and take care of him until he’s better.” FML
Today, I woke up at my boyfriend's place with grumbling stomach pains. I left him in bed to go have explosive diarrhea in the bathroom next to his room. When I was done, I came back to bed and snuggled in next to his sleeping body. He rolled over to whisper, "I heard everything." FML
Today, my boyfriend endearingly told me that he's been taking advantage of my inability to smell due to a head cold, and he's been farting around me whenever he pleases. FML
Today, I had a cold and was vomiting. I sneezed really hard, smacking my nose onto the toilet seat. I woke up a few minutes later with my nose bleeding, painful, and still stuffy. FML
Today, I took my boyfriend out to dinner to an expensive restaurant. He overate, and now I have to nurse him through food poisoning. FML
Today, after a week of staying in at night and fighting off a persistent cold, I was finally feeling well again, so I decided to go to my boyfriend's work BBQ. I got food poisoning. FML
Today, my boyfriend, who I haven't seen in months because we live in different countries, is coming to stay with me. I've been the picture of health for months, but today I woke up with my period, a terrible cold, and tooth pain from that root canal my dentist told me I didn't need a few years ago. FML

Am I the only one that checks the use by date? Plus couldn't you taste it?

Because she couldn't tell. her nose was clogged, which messed with her taste buds.

How did your boyfriend not notice it? Does he have a cold too? Anyway, get well soon!

The taste should have been your first clue, if your smell was off The chunks should have been your next clue Sit long and proud on that throne my friend

When I have a cold, I can't smell OR taste anything. I'm guessing the same is true of the OP. But yes, the lumps should have been a good indication.

Doesn't milk get kinda lumpy when it starts to go bad? How did you not notice?
Mitchellbassists 29
It depends on how far past the expiration date the milk is.

first it sours, then gets over sweet, finally lumpy

Milk increases mucus - not the best thing when you have super congestion, OP! Stick to orange juice and lemon tea :)

How many idiots are going to blame the girl for not being able to taste the milk despite her self-proclaimed inability to smell?
AndyPurdy 31
you cant taste if you cant smell
Dallyni 22
You can. Just not as strongly.

#51 not true in all cases. My husband for instance only has the basic sweet, sour, etc "tastes" when his nose is clogged. He hates eating during those times.

He's a keeper if he made you breakfast . Good intensions, but bad judgement on spoiled food products .

You can taste when milk goes bad... How did you have two cups without being able to tell?

Taste is 3/5 smell. Try eating an apple while holding a cut onion to your nose and you'll find out how important it is.

i don't know about the OP, but when I am sick I barely have a tastebud. like if I eat a cookie it would taste plain as hell.
Dallyni 22
Maybe I'm weird but I can still taste things no matter how stuffy I am. Not as strongly as before, but there is still taste.
Dallyni 22
Besides 3/5 means that some of it doesn't rely on smell, so what would that mean? That op could have tasted some of if

Stick to clear liquids, sure - but for those saying 'shouldn't you be able to taste it' - no, not if your sense of smell is gone. Taste is closely linked to smell.

Stuffy nose or not, I can't see how you wouldn't notice it tastes bad. How far past the date was it? Because if you were chewing the milk you should have known better.

There have been plenty of times when my allergies get bad and I can't smell/taste anything.
