Today, I read a seemingly serious article online about giving your smartphone some extra charge by putting it in the microwave for one minute. My phone is now fried. FML

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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't think I've ever seen more YDIs on an fml submission.

And that kids is what'll happen to you if you don't stay in school.

I'm sitting here, hoping this was a fake submission, but knowing that, no, chances are, it is really true. Not just that a person did this, but that they'd be ******* stupid enough to admit it on the Internet afterwards. But then, so many 'criminals' today put pictures of their crimes on their Facebook pages, plan looting sprees using hash tags, stop traffic on te goddamn highway so they can do donuts and then post the video on youtube, go on the run from mandated drug testing after a plea bargain and then dare the cops 'catch me if you can' and THEN proceed to say what state they are in, via Facebook from an Internet cafe, live tweet from the drunk tank.... These are all actual stories. These things happen. Because ******* idiots have technology and think they have a right to having a goddamn iPhone at 14. And then when their parents cancel service they go on a sledgehammer rampage. ....good lord I have watched way too many episodes of What The **** Is Wrong With You recently, that I could rattle off that many stupid criminals being stupid with technology stories. That's kinda sad. Since that's just like, a small part of the kinds of stories, it's a subset of the stupid crime flavor of stories, alongside the shoplifting meat by stuffing it down your pants stupid crime subset. And that's before you get into cars crashing into houses because of beer and/or pizza. Or the people trying to smuggle animals onto planes..... What I'm saying is, I hear about a lot of ******* idiots every week, so as much as I wish this were fake, it's probably true.

Just can't believe someone would actually attempt that.

Really? You are surprised by this level of stupid? Man, I've seen a news story about a guy who goes in to rob a convenience store, where he's a regular, when he bolts for the door pulls a Midvale School For The Gifted and pushes the pull door, he's already removed his mask at this point, door doesn't push, so, rather than do the smart thing and pull, he KICKS the door. Also bonus: he'd tried to hold the place up before. Stupid people are everywhere. And they just know no limit when it comes to being stupid. (Seriously, watching the highlights of crazy news stories is a weekly event for me. The things I could link you to... Eels will neve be the same)

I think this is the good time to let you know that you shouldn't believe everything that's on the internet :).

If he hasn't figured out that the Internet is full of hoaxes by now, he never will. Even I know that an article like that doesn't make any sense.

You lack common sense. Work on that.
