Today, a freshman set off the fire alarm in my dorm at 2 a.m. He tried to microwave Easy Mac without adding water. I had to stand outside for 45 minutes while the firemen moved the noodles to the sink and ran cold water over them. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the fire alarm went off in my dorm. Not only was it 30 degrees outside, but I was in the shower. 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 decided to make a toaster scramble. I thought it was bad enough when the pastry fell through the grate in the toaster over. Then it burst into flames. After 5 minutes of fanning the smoke away from the smoke detector, it still went off. Now my entire dorm building is outside in a snowstorm. FML
Today, while I was in a very important meeting on Skype, my apartment complex was evacuated due to the fire alarm going off. The reason was that my neighbor put a fork in his microwave due to him being extremely drunk. FML
Today, I spent an hour and a half trying to rid my house of smoke and burnt plastic smell because my little sister didn't know she was supposed to add water in the package of microwaveable mac and cheese. FML
Today, I was sleeping in my apartment when I woke up to the smell of smoke. Alarmed, I ran out to the kitchen to find my roommates trying to put out a fire on the stove. As soon as they saw me, they ran for it, informing me that it was my problem now. They used my good frying pan. FML
Today, I reheated leftover pasta at work. I forgot to crack a vent on the container and it exploded in the microwave. Sauce coated the inside, so I spent my lunch break scrubbing while coworkers waited awkwardly to heat their food. The smell is still hanging in the office air. 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 accidentally bumped into the fire alarm which set off a high pitched buzzing noise that could be heard throughout the entire dorm. It went on for at least two hours and none of the technicians could figure out how to turn it off. All the girls on my floor are mad at me. FML
Today, in Home Ec, I struggled to open the microwave for almost 10 minutes in front of the whole class. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Freshman hazing is going to be just that much worse for that kid. :(

The same thing happened to me. Except we didn't need a fireman

I did this too with oatmeal once. I was also in 4th grade. But my friends still like to tell the story.

I've done that before when I was trying to multitask. The heat from the blackened macaroni melted the bottom of the bowl to the turntable.

I once put a hot dog in for ten minutes instead of one when I was little. Suffice to say, the whole kitchen smelled like burned hot dog for a week.

35 please take your picture at an angle not as revealing. And what idiot cant microwave packaged food? Even instructions are posted.

37, That's irrelevant to the discussion. Please mind your own business.

36- Hotdogs are much better when cooked in oven instead of boild in water. "I'm going to teach you it's not ok to be a freshmen!"

37- Don't be such a prude. You're on the internet, not everything is lollipops and flowers. If you read her comment, she was multitasking. Everyone makes mistake when multitasking.

Firemen always make things way worse than it is, they do way unnecessary things just to seem like they do something important when there isn't a fire. It's stupid really.

El agua.
bitchslapped22 14
Congratulations, you know the spanish word for water
Jovecove 13
Aqua?
XxAqwa13xX 6
No, in Spanish its agua, not aqua
The_Troller 14
Aqua is Latin for "water". We get words like "aquanaut" and "aquatic" from it.
raphanne_fml 33
Edit: wrong place :D But while I'm here, acqua is also Italian (but with a C).

Me gusta.

It's la agua not el agua. Translators aren't always right.
J352SAURUS 30
Actually, "agua" is a feminine noun but you use el for the singular: el agua, las aguas. This is typical of feminine nouns beginning with an accented 'a' and it's a phonetic thing, avoiding the running together of the two a's.

Stupid freshman...

That's why boys don't belong in the kitchen...

You'd be surprise what guys can cook. My man is able to cook stuffed pork chops,Korean hot wings, homemade spaghetti with sauce he's made the night before and so forth. It's not a matter that guys can't cook,most are just too lazy to learn.

did anyone think drugs or alchol might be involved

Nopes.
ShroomsOnAcid 17
Hooray for men who cook! I'm lucky as well, because I can only cook as far as mixing a couple of things in a bowl. But my excuse is that food is healthier when it's raw anyway.

Freshmen=Getting drunk and/or high and forgetting how to microwave noodles.

NOW do you see why we say women belong in the kitchen? It's my derogative! It's logical!
tylersign 11
My god. How did that even happen. Not my, *not*.
False_Stupidity 42
You might note that the OP is female and the freshman was in her dorm, therefore unless they mix sexes it's safe to assume the freshman is also female, thus invalidating your argument.
tylersign 11
It clearly says "he". Bye.
