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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I bought $250 worth of groceries and was feeling rather good about myself because it's the first time I've been able to do so in months. When I returned home I found my fridge/freezer broken. Most of the food I bought was dairy or frozen. 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, as I searched for food to take to work for lunch, I noticed that the only recent addition to our fridge is chocolate milk and popsicles. My mom went grocery shopping yesterday. FML
Today, after I'd told everyone I would finally be starting meal prepping to save money, on the very first day, I forgot every container in my fridge, so I still had to buy my lunch during my lunch break. FML
Today, all three of my meals consisted of two Hot Pockets. FML
Today, my mom still hasn't gotten over the novelty of our brand new microwave. We've been eating hot pockets for nearly a week now. FML
Today, I took my lunch to work and put it in the office fridge. At noon, I opened the fridge and couldn't find it anywhere. I checked every shelf twice before realizing I'd put it in the freezer section by mistake. My sandwich was completely frozen. FML
Today, I made myself a hot pocket for lunch. I managed to scald myself on the red-hot cheese, and at the same time bite into the center, which was somehow still frozen solid. FML
Today, I stopped at a mini-mart and bought a family-size bag of potato chips, a tub of dip, a box of toaster pastries, and some snack cakes. The guy at the counter said, "Wow, someone's hungry!" I told him it wasn't all for me, paid, and left in a huff. It was all for me. I ate it all by that evening. FML

Short term memory loss, OP? I'm almost scared to ask how many times this has happened with other things. But, I guess the next best thing would be to go to a bakery and get whatever the equivalent would be.

Why not just buy a microwave? I got one at a thrift store for like $30 bucks. Much cheaper than throwing out food because you forget.

Nailed it op, but I understand I once forgot my freezer was broken and bought a gallon of icecream
Welshite 40
That's not an FML. You got to eat a whole gallon of ice cream.

I put my ice cream in microwave for 10 seconds so it melts.. I only like melted ice cream.

My sister is like that.

You know why ice cream "soup" is so much sweeter than cold ice cream? It's because the cold numbs your taste buds, thus more sugar is added so as to make sure the ice cream is sweet even when it's frozen. Then, when the ice cream melts, it becomes almost double as sweet because your taste buds are not numbed and can taste everything..

Too complicated. It'd be better to just throw all of them out, wait a couple more weeks (or days) until OP forgets again, go back to the grocery store, and repeat the process all over again.

I dont think hot pockets have oven directions on them, but it should still work. just dont put that sleeve they give you in with it.

Yes, they have instructions for cooking in an oven. About 30 minutes at 350
slooby_fml 25
How do you forget that? And there are other ways to cook them

this fml reminds of another fml.where the girlfriend sends the boyfriend to get food since the electricity went out and he came back with one minute ramen

And there's the one where OP's husband brings home the metric **** load of ham after the power went out at their house.

If only there were SOME other way to cook them...like, like, a box-shaped appliance that gets very hot inside and is meant to cook things...has some burners on top. Ah, darn, too bad the microwave is the only way.

I all honesty, I think they're kind of gross when microwaved.. I usually just let them thaw out and eat them. I know, I'm weird, but I think everyone should try it once in their lifetime.
Rainhawk94 27
