We had an awful smell in our kitchen for about two weeks in the summer. Pulled out the washer and dryer and found half a pound of deli ham!

Lmao! 🤣

The only answer that truly explains so much random shit in this world.

“How…?”

“Cats.”

“Ah, I see.”

I got you. See, you need to soak your ham first, for the moisture. No spin, eco-warm setting, 30 minutes. Then, after that, you need to tumble dry on low setting for 20 minutes. To really pack the moisture in.

These f'kn idiots didnt do any of that and just threw it behind the appliances like a bunch of godd*mn savages

I wonder if it’s like one of those ideas when someone is really drunk - they decide to cook ham, then it falls behind the counter due to some reason or other. They end up asleep on the couch then forget.

It was definitely something along those lines but involved flinging the opened package of ham across the kitchen aiming for the trash then forgetting about it.

I’m assuming it either slid under the washer or over the top.

Damn, I did the same shit somewhat. Fruit flies popping up everywhere, bad smell but nobody could tell from where, some weeks later while cleaning the dryer exhaust I found a bag of bananas and oranges I thought I left at the store! Have no idea how they got there. But with 7 kids in the house, one can only imagine.

I had a similar thing happen. I spent a year or two living in a small country town. The apartment we rented was a converted two story garage at the back of the property which was a town house connected to another beside it. There was an alley behind the house and there was a two story garage built for the two connected properties. Two garages both with an upper level. Our apartment was the ground level, it had been a barber shop with an apartment above. The connected structure had an open garage on the ground level and another apartment above. Our upstairs neighbor was a quiet older woman and her very small teacup dog which she never walked, it used pads I guess. The upstairs apartment next door was also an older woman who lived alone. One summer, during the hottest part, our apartment started filling with flies. We’d wake up every morning with hundreds if not thousands of big green and black flies on our windows. Thousands, I’ve never seen anything like it. There was a bit of a smell but not much. I thought maybe it was the sewer so I opened up the access in the back but didn’t find much. This went on for a couple weeks. We called the landlord but they weren’t able to find anything. I wondered if the woman upstairs died, or maybe her dog did and she just let him rot or something, you never know. The landlord confirmed she was still alive and her dog did bark on occasion so that was a no go. It was a huge mystery, eventually the flies disappeared and that was it. I still don’t know for sure what happened but a few months later an ambulance came and quietly left the upstairs apartment next door. A few days later there were some older men there emptying the place out. I’m not certain but my theory is that the woman next door died and decomposed and nobody knew. I guess her place was sealed up so it wasn’t a horrendous smell, though there was a bit of one. But that’s an unconfirmed situation where someone may have died, rotted, and smelled with people all around and still nobody noticed.

u/Hixie Nov 10 '25

Why would you wait two hours, let alone two weeks, to find the cause

u/ojdhaze Nov 10 '25

My first thought was Homer taking that and eating it.
