Found something DISGUSTING in my clean washing

[Millenialmom]

went to put a tshirt on my DS this morning and it was a bit stinky. Put it back in the bag with the other clean washing and went on with the day.

We’ve just Spent a week in Cornwall but I washed and dried most of our clothes before we left so it was a carrier bag containing clean clothes belonging to DS.

the more I looked into the bag the worst the smell got. It stank of rotting fish.

I got to the bottom to find a carrier bag of DDs rocks and shells from the beaches containing 2 mussels which must’ve been alive when they went in but were open and rotting in the 27 degree weather we’ve had for the last few days since returning.

mortified that it’s been sat in my room for days and the smell was horrific

please feel free to share anything disgusting you’ve found to make me feel less gross about my find!!

We couldn’t work out where the revolting smell in the utility room was coming from, searched everywhere except…..my wellies. I had bare feet, put them on to take the dog for a walk and a cat (we don’t have cats but neighbours do) had crapped in one 🤢🤮

I think we need an explanation as to how the bag of prawn debris got under the sofa 🤣

About 12 years ago I went on holiday for a couple of weeks during a hot summer. Living in a 2nd floor flat I wasn’t too concerned about leaving the little window in the kitchen open to allow air to circulate and stop the flat getting too warm.

Came home to loads of dead flies and maggots, plus cases from various stages of the life cycle of a fly - turns out, after chatting with a friend in another block, one of the neighbours had put a rotten chicken out in the bins down the side of the flats without wrapping or bagging it the day AFTER the big men came so it sat there in a huge bin for the entire time I was away and, thanks to my open window above the bin store, flies were coming up and in.

Took ages till I stopped finding dead flies or dried cases despite cleaning the flat from top to bottom - I think they ended up under the washer/dryer or cooker which were really difficult to move. 🤮🤮

Currently, we get up regularly to find snail trails across the carpet in the living room but have yet to find a snail or slug in the house - we’ve lived here 18 months and it’s been happening on and off since last summer. The 4 year old twins think it’s hilarious but I’ve no idea where they’re hiding during the day as we never find them when cleaning or when the kids have their toys out 🤷🏼‍♀️

We had a neighborhood fox bury eggs in our garden for later. Thought we had found them all, but dog found one that must have been 9 months old. I saw him pick it up, I ran to stop him, but he bit it... OMG the stench. He was hosed down, he was bathed, had to get some stuff from the groomer to get rid of the pong, he still smelled for a week or more. He spent a lot of time outdoors that summer!

We had a visiting cat who would just come in when the doors were open. It was sweet so we just allowed it to fall asleep indoors.
It took to sleeping on a pile of spare bedding on top of an under bed roller drawer. I went to get something from the drawer and saw something hopping. Closer inspection revealed loads of fleas and tiny wriggling larvae. Under my bed. Where I slept 😟

I‘m highly impressed a cat managed to crap inside a welly! I had to buy XXL litter trays for my idiots because they kept hanging their arses out of the side of the (already sufficiently large) trays.

Years ago, when students, my revolting ex purchased some liver from the butcher's then went drinking day and night. A few weeks passed and in our shared house none of us could fathom the awful smell and flies until I moved his coat. There it was decomposing in the pocket. Urgg

I have this problem too, I couldn't figure out where they came from either .
But found slug trails all over my cats food bowls despite them been on a shelf 3 / 4 inches of the floor.
My back door is very close fitting but I decided to put a thick line of salt in the metal door trim and on the step ., since doing that about 2 weeks ago I have had no problems

My mechanically minded dh dismantled parts of my car looking for the cause of the awful eggy smell. It was in fact a hard boiled egg under the front seat.

When my kids were very small we made a cardboard box castle and filled it with a big pile of scarves we kept for play. For a week they spent many happy hours in it together dressed only in nappy/pants as it was a hot summer. A terrible smell started to build. We thought it was the sewer, but it got too bad even for that. It turns out our lovely cat had added a present to the box in the form of an enormous rat ( she loved provision in the kids with her ‘gifts’). It had got all squashed under the scarves as the kids rolled around in there. They loved those scarves and they were invaluable for all sorts of quick to tidy play. I had to put them through the wash about 5 times before I was sure the smell and 🤢had gone. Kids both have strong immune systems!

Stood on a slug once in bare feet. It was squidgey

Tom Cox, owner of the Bear once wrote that Bear had crapped in his partners dressing gown pocket...

We have the same with snail trails! Never any sign of them in the house (found a few in the back garden when it rains)
Had to wipe dds school shoes this morning before she saw them as she'd probably refuse to wear them if she did 🤣
It's always near the front door, there's a gap under the front door where the pvc trim doesn't meet the floor. There's bricks behind it and no draft so we've not rushed to sort it but there must be a tiny gap where they can squeeze in and out during the night!

Too many to mention (my kids are manky)
but I once made chicken thighs for dinner
A few days later,there was a foul smell,I couldn't work out where it was coming from
Until the flies-we woke up to a million,green,slow flying flies
I managed to kill them all while pulling the house apart
Ds didn't like chicken thighs so had stuffed his down the back of the sofa-it had rotted and maggots had hatched-behind the seat I normally sat on

Same ds-his bookbag
Everything from old yogurt to a pair of old festering socks
I had to wash it once a week and buy a new one every term-no amount of nagging stopped him

He grew up into one of the cleanest adults I know but his school years where hell-he was a mucky little sod

We where having a mates dog for a few days so I bought him a pack of cheap ham
Got the shopping home-no ham-figured I'd put it back and forgot about it
We when had the 2 day heatwave so didn't go out in the car
Until we got in to take him home
The ham had slipped out of a bag and out of sight
It then rotted and even the dog was gagging at the smell-and he loves to roll in fox shit

Not disgusting but funny. When my DS was about 18 months old we were walking round town and he kept complaining his shoe hurt. I took him back to the shoe shop to get his feet measured and when the lady took his shoe off a sticklebrick fell out.

I was printing a document for work a few years ago when I got the ‘printer jammed’ message. Pulled out the paper and there was a big splodge of ink on it and a weird smell. Tried printing again and same thing happened. I looked more closely at the paper and realised there was a bit of fur on it and the ‘ink’ was in fact blood. Took the lid off the printer and saw a tail sticking up. Turns out it was a mouse that had sought refuge after being brought in by the cat and was now well and truly squashed and fried!

my son's friend turned up to take his GCSEs at school and said his shoe felt funny and a LIVE mouse was inside it!

When I was a kid we came back from our annual two weeks at the seaside to an awful smell in the kitchen. Thinking I was helping to tidy up before we went I had put the remains of a roast chicken in the oven. It was seething with maggots.

I cook in a rugby club kitchen on a Saturday. Sometimes a few weeks go by without a home game but the kitchen is used by a couple of community groups. Sometime between games someone had accidentally switched off the freezer. We keep frozen meat and burgers in there as well as rolls and frozen veg.
I don't know how no one had noticed the stench but we went in pre game to start and the smell was 🤢🤮. We had to empty all the food into the bins triple bagged and scoop out rotting meat juices. It was foul. The players had to have emergency sausage and chips from the chippy that day.
Such a waste.

Dh once got up in a hurry to answer the phone. He had bare feet and, as he walked across the carpet, he trod on the remains of a dead mouse the cat had brought in. He finished the phonecall then noticed that the mouse's liver was stuck between two of his toes!

Another time, he brought me a cup of tea in bed. When I got up I went to refill the kettle and saw there was a huge slug in the bottom. It must have got in there overnight 🤢

Don't think I can top some of the ones on here! My mum's car when I was a teen developed an odd odour at one point. Eventually the culprit was discovered a muller light that had obviously made a bid for freedom from a shopping bag, somehow ended up underneath my mum's work coat that she kept in the boot (but wasn't wearing at the time as it was warm) and burst open.

Also used to work in schools, found a packed lunch that must have been in the lost property since September still with the contents inside it (why on earth didn't someone think to empty it before putting it in lost property!) and in a secondary school someone decided to put the leftover ingredients from food tech in their locker. And leave it over half term.

Washed a cockroach the other day it was in my suitcase washing bag; found it when home. It survived the wash

Not remotely surprised by the number of disgusting stories caused by cats 🤣.

There's always one.

Last year we were absolutely plagued with fruit flies, hoards of them! I went insane, bleached all floors, got rid of all bins and kept everything outside, was militant about the kitchen being spotless, counters wiped straight away. Months it went on for until my poor mum was looking for my sons school bag and found a black bag in our under stairs cupboard, that my husband had found on the beach by our house and took home to post on a local Facebook page that he had it and had somehow made its way in there that had rotting fruit in it, mum opened the bag and hoards of the things swarmed her face. That was pretty rank. Not dead mouse in boot rank though!
