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?

Should have watched 'is it a good idea to microwave this?'

Ooh, have they done a smartphone? I kinda got out of practice watching after the airbag, because I just kept watching that one over, and over, an over.

And this is why the next generation of smartphones will come with "Warning: do not microwave" in their manuals.

Why are you assuming it's a $600 phone?

Clearly you don't pay attention to the internet. This has been a joke for over a year now. Maybe you shouldn't get another smart phone and you should cut off all internet access before you listen to someone telling you to delete system 32 to make your computer faster. Go ahead, try it...it really works.

There has been people stupid enough to believe that. OP, try microwaving gold (or something that has it) next and see what happens.

Anyone who falls for this should be immediately sterilized. We do not need that level of stupid in the gene pool.

Well, that's easy! All we need to do is tell OP he'll get bigger erections if he puts his family jewels in the microwave and uses full power for thirty seconds and watch the problem sort itself out!

I don't know what made you think you'd get any sympathy here. Or anywhere else.

If you can't put aluminum foil in the microwave without it catching fire and sparking, did you really think you could put a cell phone, which is full of metallic parts, in there with no problems??? The level of idiocy is to damn high!!!

Did you read the one about how sticking your head in a plastic bag makes you smarter? At the least it would improve the gene pool.
