Today, I was craving some popcorn, so I went to the supermarket and bought the microwaveable type. When I got home, I remembered I didn't have a microwave. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was grocery shopping. When I got to the frozen foods, I saw some Lean Pockets, which I haven't had in forever, so I bought a couple of boxes. Around lunch time, I was hungry and thought I could have some, until I realized why I stopped buying them: I don't have a microwave. FML
Today, I was so tired at work that I stared at the microwave waiting for my food. It was a full minute before I realized I'd never actually turned it on after I'd put the food in it. FML
Today, I made some popcorn. Returning to the kitchen a couple of minutes later, I realized I was supposed to put a cover on the saucepan. FML
Today, I tried to make popcorn in the microwave but forgot to remove the plastic wrapper. The kitchen filled with smoke, the fire alarm went off and my neighbors came knocking to see if I was alright. When they asked what caused it, I had to admit that it was “Erm… popcorn.” FML
Today, I put leftovers in the microwave, pressed two minutes, and walked away. I came back to discover I'd started the kitchen timer instead. I'd spent two minutes waiting for food that had never even started warming up. FML
Today, I tried to microwave a leftover burrito. I forgot to remove the foil it was wrapped in. The microwave went into overdrive in a dramatic display of sparks, the fire alarm went off, and I had to convince the neighbors at my door not to evacuate their apartments. I still haven’t eaten. FML
Today, I got popcorn when getting groceries. I was excited to see popcorn butter spray on sale and decided to try it. Excited, I made some popcorn while I went to use the can. Butter sprayed like an aerosol can all over my desk and floor. Now, my apartment smells like a movie theater and there's butter EVERYWHERE! FML
Today, I got home late from work, so I decided to make myself a microwave meal. I pierced the plastic film several times. A little too loudly for my hateful bastard of a neighbor, I guess, because he called the cops on me, claiming he heard gunshots from my apartment. FML
Today, I was so sleep deprived that while making instant oatmeal, I poured the oats into the garbage and put the empty packet in a bowl, then microwaved it for 2 minutes. FML
Today, I was home alone and tried to make some popcorn so I could watch a movie. Thirty minutes later, my parents came home and found me talking to the firemen. FML

Fun thing about popcorn is that it's still seeds. Put it in a pot with a lid on and heat it up on the stove. It's so old school, it's retro-hip!

Put it in a pan and cover it and just leave it on the stove

Put some oil in a pan on the stove...cut open the popcorn bag and pour the kernels in the pan. Heat on medium/low until popped Bam! Popcorn :)

The oil is already in the bag, so you don't need it in the pan :)

But you have a home? Or did you forget about that too?

Did you forget it's possible to have a home without a microwave?

does it need oil or water

Microwave popcorn already has oil and stuff mixed in with the corn. So he'd be fine just dumping the bag.

You can add a couple of tablespoons of oil too. I've tried it with and without the oil and I liked it much better when I added some oil.

A chance to learn some problem solving skills.

Even though people are giving you helpful advice to solve your problem, I'll bet you just ended up slicing open the bag and then munched on kernels.

Lol I did the same thing. I got a new place and got a bunch of my favorite microwave meals. I forgot I didn't have a microwave until I pulled one out.

You can usually also put microwave meals in the oven it just takes a lot longer
