Today, my boyfriend was cooking me dinner. He walked away and I decided to help by giving the pan of veggies a sautee flip. My boyfriend failed to mention that he had just pulled that pan out of a 500 degree oven. FML

Today, my boyfriend came home while I was making a snack in the kitchen. We started making out and he lifted me up and sat my ass on the hot stove. FML

Today, I cooked dinner for my boyfriend, hoping to impress him with my culinary skills. I burnt the garlic bread, overcooked the chicken, and managed to set off the smoke alarm three times. When I finally served the meal, my boyfriend said, "It's like a sad buffet at a middle school prom." FML

Today, I was quietly admiring my boyfriend from outside the kitchen as he made us dinner, only to witness him drop a load of spaghetti on the floor, swear, then scoop it all up and place it back on the plate. FML

Today, my boyfriend wanted to make breakfast. Since I usually do all the cooking, I said that was fine. Four hours later, my boyfriend and I were sitting on the sidewalk across the street as the firemen sprayed down the burnt remains of our kitchen. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 2 weeks said that he was going to cook me dinner. After waiting for the frozen pizza that he decided to make for me to be completely cooked, he said, "Oh I hate this part", reached into the oven with his bare hands and took out the pizza, all while screaming. He is 24. FML

Lost in the sauce

Today, I cooked a romantic dinner for my partner to celebrate our five year anniversary. I spent hours preparing a snazzy meal. Just as we sat down to eat, I realized I had forgotten to turn off the oven, and our dessert was now a charred lump of coal. We only realised this when the fire alarm in the kitchen went off. FML

Today, I tried to make breakfast. I had everything cooking on the stove when I reached to turn on the faucet, only to find out that the head of the faucet was up the sleeve of my robe. After drying off, I went to serve my boyfriend his plate, but when I returned, the stove had caught fire. FML

Cook out

Today, to impress my date with dinner, I spent hours prepping and cooking. Just as I was about to serve her, I realized I'd left the stove on and my kitchen was on fire. As the fire trucks arrived and my date looked on in horror, I couldn't help but think, "My cooking is so hot it literally set the house on fire." FML

if he walked away then why is it his fault for not mentioning how hot it was?

Way to try to have too much control. YDI for being a little crazy.

This is why NO ONE should ever interfere in cooking, they do stupid things. Like in my foods class, I was making some easy pasta stuff, then while i turn my back to cut some tomatoes, one of my partners throws two cups of cheese into the simmering water with pasta. I had to stay late to clean off the cheese that sank and burnt to the pot. So yeah, YDI.

Why would you stay late to fix someone else's mistake?

Because in a kitchen, it's everyone's responsibility to clean. -from a fellow cook

put a baking soda/water paste all over your hands, then an hour or so later, put toothpaste all over them, then keep switching between the two for a whole day.

That's why you stay out of the way when someone else is cooking unless they ask for help. YDI

Why would he put a pan in the oven? If the OP was flipping the food, I'm assuming it was a frying pan, which are meant to be used on the stove. You wouldn't reasonably expect a pan handle to be hot. Not the OP's fault.
