Skunkified!
This happened last week but I thought it was still worth mentioning. I was just reminded of the situation because I opened the closet downstairs to see if I still had my rollerblades, and was greeted with the lingering smell of skunk. Man, you have no idea how potent that shit is. Ugh!
Last week my downstairs neighbour let her dog out to pee at around 4am. Evidently, there was a skunk in our backyard at the time and so attacked it. Even though we live on the second level, the smell still drifted in. I had my window wide open that night so my bedroom was one of the few rooms that got felt like it got hit by a bomb. We suffered through the night but in the morning the house was wiped down with bleach and cleaning detergent, and all the linens washed. Luckily it wasn't one of our dogs that attacked it because whoa! the downstair's dog reaked for the next 7 days. I googled some remedies to get rid of the smell, one which was a concotion of vinegar, baking soda, and detergent and it surprisingly worked well. We also left small dishes of vinegar around the house it absorb whatever we missed.
I had work the same day and I was so paranoid of smelling like skunk. Of course I told all my coworkers but it didn't make me any less paranoid. All of them said I smelt fine though. Haha, but here's the embarrassing part...
At the end of the night when I went to my locker to grab my stuff, I guess my shoes and jacket still smelt of skunk because the order poured out the minute I opened it. There were a few other girls in the locker room at the time too and I heard one of the say, "Man, do you smell that? What the heck is that? It reaks!" They looked at me...I looked at them and said. "I have no idea..." And literally ran out the door.
Hahahaha...I'm lame, I know.
