Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my 5 year old daughter figured out how to use the microwave, microwaving my brand new 3G iphone. It was completely wrecked. So was the microwave. FML
Today, as I was texting a friend, I was going to warm up some cold pizza. As I got finished with a text I put the pizza in the microwave and set the timer. After the timer ran out, I opened the door and smelled burnt plastic. Turns out phones aren't meant to be in the microwave. FML
Today, I've come to the conclusion that my phone addiction is getting out of control after I typed my PIN code into the microwave. FML
Today, I put my phone in the dishwasher by accident. I'd left it on the kitchen counter with a bunch of dirty stuff and, distracted, loaded it in with the plates. I only realized it when the dishwasher started making weird noises. My phone was soaked and blinking with bubbles inside. It didn’t survive. FML
Today, I put my phone in the fridge to cool it down. Now it's cold, but it won't turn on. FML
Today, I woke up after putting my child to bed. Drowsy, I stumbled down to the kitchen to make a mug cookie. I read a recipe on my phone, and put a knob of butter in a cup to melt in the microwave. I put my phone in the microwave and turned it on for 30 seconds, and didn't realize what I'd done until I smelt burning plastic. FML
Today, I dropped my phone in the frying pan whilst cooking my steak. I had to rinse off the oil immediately and clean the phone, then had to eat a cold steak. FML
Today, my girlfriend threw boiling water at me to get me off my phone. It worked, but now I'm burned. FML
Today, I got burned, all because the toaster scared me while I was holding a pot of boiling water. FML
Today, in an attempt to be frugal, I tried to repair my own sometimes-faulty toaster. Turns out I unplugged the wrong kitchen appliance, which I only discovered by electrocuting myself while pulling it apart. Now it's definitely broken, will need replacing, and I have a burn. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Generalization is such a bitch.

I guess the OP didn't get the charge the OP was looking for.

Okay what on earth motivated you to think" well this sounds ridiculus but I should try it anyway"? this is on the YOLO level of stupidity.

How do you know the article sounded ridiculous to OP? He could have just thought "Oh cool, I'd like to try this."

But everything on the internet is true! You must've done it wrong, OP.

Yeah, of course it was fried. You're supposed to put it on 50% power. OP simply overloaded the battery, like an over-inflated balloon.

Just put your phone in a bowl of dry rice. The rice will attract Asians who will come fix your phone. It must be true. I saw it on the internet! There was a picture and everything!

Yeah like everyone here. You did it yourself! Didn't you notice the sparks flying around in the microwave?

They can't put anything on the Internet that isn't true. I read that on the Internet.

Did you try turning it on and off again?

I can tell you're not referring to OP's brain, because that's permanently switched to the off position.

That only works with an iPhone. Non apple products require sorcery to operate further complexities.

I also hear from the internet, if you tie 1 end of a rope to your penis and the other end to a car and get someone to drive, it'll make it bigger....

They can't put it on the Internet if it isn't true-.-
