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?

I did the same exact thing only I was little and my brother never told me to add water

My brother did that and he didn't realize that it had no water in the bowl until after. He ended up burning a hole in the bowl.

I think he was talking about the Invader Zim demotivational poster that 20 is using for a profile picture.
chels1994 11
Yeah, I misread that as well, but then I realized that Invader Zim was on someones profile... I have to agree though, I loved that show (:

Why the hell didn't he just remove them from the microwave when they started smoking? What an amateur mistake. So you may be wondering, "Is it a good idea to microwave Easy Mac without water?" Bad idea.

I did this with rice. Ended up destroying the inside of the microwave and we all had to sit outside while airing out the place of toxic burnt plastic fumes. :|

How did this guy even get into college if he can't read simple instructions on a Mac & Cheese box?
perdix 31
He had $$$$$$ Ability to pay is worth 100 points on the application score. It takes 25 to get in.

My daughter is applying to colleges right now. I wish it was that easy to get in.

Lower your standards far enough and she'll get in.

My daughter is an honor student and has taken numerous Honors & AP classes. The problem is with state university system here in California. Due to budget cuts, they are accepting many less students. In addition, they are trying to get more foreign and out-of-state students to come here because they pay a lot more tuition.
