Today, I found out that if you see a tray with some black stuff in it and you can't decide whether it's powdered black pepper or cigarette ashes, it's not a good idea to taste it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a customer came up to me with a can of ground black pepper and asked me what the ingredients were. FML
Today, I had some soup that my dad made. I took one sip and found he had put tons of hot sauce in it. I rushed to drink from a soda can sitting on the counter, only to find that my mom had used it as an ash tray the night before. I can still taste the hot sauce, and the ash. FML
Today, I ate what was supposed to be a delicious mini powdered donut. The first one tasted funny, so I pulled out another one and realized that the powdered sugar was now in fact powdered hairy mold. Then I looked at the package and realized it was over a year and a half old. FML
Today, I learned that no matter how much you want the Nutella, it's never a good idea to deep-throat the knife. FML
Today, my roommate left those powdered donuts in the kitchen. Hungry, I decided to try one. Turns out, the white powder wasn't sugar. It was cocaine. FML
Today, I found out what rotten cooked potato both smells and tastes like. FML
Today, I found out that the crumbs on the couch that look like the Oreos you just ate, can actually turn out to be very crunchy, and have legs. FML
Today, I accidentally ate a cat treat instead of a cinnamon-glazed pecan. I thought it must have been burnt by the way it tasted, so ate a few more before I figured out my mistake and spat them out. FML
Today, I learned what live maggots in chocolate cake taste like. FML
Today, my workplace often leaves out "expired" food from the café that our department coincides with, as it is wasteful to throw away perfectly fine cuisine. I soon discovered that the inside of a seemingly normal looking cupcake was actually filled with mold when I took a large mouthful of it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

There are SO many things wrong with this post, OP. 1. Cigarette ashes and black pepper look nothing alike. You must have some sort of visual impairment. 2. Since when does black pepper EVER just sit in a tray? Ashes do, but pepper usually doesn't. 3. Why in the world would you taste it to figure out what it was? You have other senses- use them! People generally stop using their mouths to understand the world sometime during late infancy. 4. Even if it was black pepper, why would you taste it? Generally pepper is not something you'd eat plain anyway, so why does it matter which substance it was? Either way, it wouldn't be something you eat. The intelligence levels of some people scare me.

This my friend, is an example of Kant's notion of synthetic a priori knowledge. It is not true in it self (that is, the proposition does not contain the premise), but it is true before experience; you should have logically deduced that it was a bad idea to stick that shit in your mouth before experiencing it!

What seriously happened to people's common sense? If you don't know what it is why would you even think about tasting it?

Uh 1) Why would black pepper be in a dish? 2) Why would you just randomly taste something without asking? Either way you need to use that brain more.
