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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Use an oven?

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.

Save up for a microwave! Maybe you have a friend or neighbor you can have lunch with, and use theirs.

Reminds me of that time a bought a horse, then rode it home and didn't remember until I got to the parking lot that I live in a 2 bedroom second story apartment. Luckily, I managed to trade it in for a car the next day. Still, that poor horse did seem cramped in my guest bedroom that night.

Did you trade it in for a Ford Mustang?
gracehi 33
Yep. It has way more horsepower than my first mustang and more seating, plus cup holders. Unfortunately, the gas millage isn't nearly as good, but I'm still glad I traded up.

It's always a good thing to have a ride that doesn't cramp up your guest room.

the scene from family guy that Peter "fuels" up the horse comes to mind

Explain how OP DOESN'T deserve it.

Cone on, Doc. It's not OP's fault mamma couldn't lay off the booze when she was preggers.

you're right #17, it's definitely someone else's fault he forgot something so obvious!!

If you're young and this happens to you there is a definite scientific name for that. Airhead.

Microwaves aren't that expensive. Go buy one.

Let it thaw for ~2 hours, then cook it either in an oven or in a pan.

Fried in a pan sounds interesting now.

Go to a friends house and microwave them? Surely someone you know has one, haha.

"Surely you can't be serious?" "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley." -airplane. I freaking love you enslaved! Haha.

Haha most of the time, yes. (: FML is my outlet to the craziness that's in my brain! But once in a blue moon I'll say something that people won't have to be like: Anchorman's "That doesn't make sense". :P

Must be cramped when you do that... You got a future in Cirque de Soliel.

Aren't microwaves cheap? Even online.
