I woke up this morning and my apartment smelled like skunk.
 What in the world? People need to stop scaring the skunks near my apartment. UGH!

lol I actually enjoy the light fragrance of skunk when we drive by one on the road. But near the apartment is probably too much! You can try burning some dried sage. That's the only thing I know that gets the odor out of the air, but personally sage smells bad to me. Of course it would though since I like skunk smells xD. It's worth a shot then you can open a window and turn on some fans to get rid of the sage smell if you don't like it.

I do not like skunks. They are very often rabid here. Last spring at this time I had one chase me and my dog in the middle of the day. He was a clever bugger too. I don’t know if he knew our route based upon the dog’s sent, but at one point I thought we’d lost him, only to have him return in front of us. We were running on the road, the skunk cut across the lawns of the houses to appear in front of us on the top of the hill. Luckily a man had seen the whole thing and drove up to us in his van, blew his horn and scared it off. We both called animal control.

oh wow yeah scaaaary! Skunks make good pets once you get 3rd or 4th generation with no rabies to guarantee they don't have it and get them vaccinated. Spraying is a learned trait or you can even have them deskunked so you have no worries.
Random tidbit: only mammal that cannot get rabies are opossums. Their core body temperature is too low to host the virus.

I wonder how does a vet deskunk a skunk - that's sounds funny doesn't it.
I know this is off topic - but one year we took the solar blanket off our pool and there was a dead opossum floating in it. We completely drained and disinfected the pool. There was no way I was going to let my girls swim in that pool - ewwwwww. Opossums can be viscious too.
