The past few days it has gotten warmer again, the sun is shining, jackets have been replaced by hoodies, the snow is gone and the car hasn't been sleeping in the garage. This morning as I climbed into my car, I was assaulted by an unusual stench. My first thought was that husband had let one go, so I attempted to be a good wife, and didn't say anything, just nonchalantly rolled down the window and dropped him off at work.
With husband out of the vehicle, I rolled the windows back up and popped onto the highway. Well, b'y the jumpins, that smell was still there.
I hate the windows down on the highway, so it made for a rather interesting 25 minute commute. The whole while trying to figure out what had climbed in my car and passed away, not breath and watch where I was going at the same time.
I pulled into the school parking lot and debated if I really wanted to know what was lurking under the seats. I mustered up the courage to look, half expecting a green sandwich, instead I got..
A COFFEE MUG! Yep, one of my missing travel mugs. Seems 'someone' accidentally left something in the mug and hide it under the seat to grow mold. It was so vile that the lid was stuck on.
Now I'm not going to point fingers, or lay blame (because I'm trying to be a better wife for lent) but kiddo doesn't drink coffee, and I don't lose things.

Aack....don't you hate when that happens?! Another reason not to drink coffee. Heehee.
ReplyDeleteI thought for sure you were going to say someone had left their stinky sneakers in the car!
ReplyDeleteOMG! It never even occurred to me that coffee could grow mold (as dense as that sounds) Yuck!

One time a frozen chicken fell out of the grocery bag and was left in the trunk of my car. In July! It was several days before we discovered it. The smell was literally like death. We couldn't even ride in the car.
ReplyDeleteYuck! I hate when that happens!! It's when you least expect it. I love how you were scared to look under the seats... trust me I would have been as well!

ReplyDeleteMy dad accidentally locked the car up with a stray cat inside with 100 degree weather...yup the cat died and no matter how much cleaning, airing out, and ripping out the floorboard carpet...the smell never went away! It was bad!

after reading some of the things that COULD have been found under the seat of my car, I'm glad it was only coffee (possible banana peel inside the mug)
