Today, I learned how to use a fire extinguisher. Too bad it was on my brand new oven. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I used a fire extinguisher for the first time. Too bad it was on my car. FML
Today, the office tough guy learned how to use the fire extinguisher. On me. I wasn't on fire. FML
Today, after meaning to do so for a while, I began cleaning my oven. I sprayed it with the foam cleaner stuff, closed the oven for the foam to soak in, then forgot about the whole thing. Later, I preheated the oven for a pizza and triggered a smoke alarm, which brought the fire department to my door. No pizza, just shame. FML
Today, I learned the hard way that my oven mitt has a hole. Time to get a new one, whenever my finger stops burning. FML
Today, my kitchen nearly burned down because the fire alarm didn't detect the plumes of smoke wafting through the kitchen. This is the same alarm that wails when I use the toaster. FML
Today, while I was at work, my wife discovered you cannot put out a grease fire with water. I came home to a frantic spouse, a fire department bill, and a newly destroyed kitchen. FML
Today, I was trying to cook a pizza for lunch at my in-laws. I preheated the oven and took my dog out to go potty. I come back in to find the house filled with smoke, the detector going off, and a fire in the oven. Apparently, my mother-in-law left a tray of glass candle holders in it. FML
Today, I found out that our smoke detector doesn't work when my roommate turned on the wrong burner while trying to cook. Our air fryer was on said burner, and it started to melt. It sat there for who knows how long until I noticed smoke everywhere and went to investigate. We don't have an air fryer now. FML
Today, at work, our new chef managed to start a grease fire. We couldn’t put it out because he managed to splash the flaming grease onto the fire extinguisher. Yes, we couldn’t put out a fire because our fire extinguisher was on fire. The fire department guys just laughed and laughed. FML
Today, while cooking dinner, I managed to set my oven mitt on fire. In my panic, I tried to throw it in the sink, but it landed on a stack of t-shirts, which were lying on the counter. Both the mitt and my favorite Sonic Youth t-shirt now have matching burn holes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's unfortunate! Ruined perfectly good food! :( I hope you weren't baking cupcakes because that'll be utterly saddening.

At least it was just your oven. Could have been worse

It's okay. It was probably muffins, which everyone knows are vastly inferior to cupcakes.
margie2194 12
Muffins are just ugly cupcakes.

How? The food inside the oven was on fire. She may have had a smokey house without it, but I highly doubt the metal oven is going to catch fire.

#77 I have just the concoction. He takes every morning for breakfast 1 large Whiff of a unicorns glittery toots 4 deep fried scales of the Lochness monster 1 tooth from the Troll (meme) And a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice-cream to wash it all down. Wish to know what he has for lunch?

YDI for being a shitty cook.

Everyone has moments they forget stuff, don't be so harsh :p
uhmkeil 6
Yes, everyone has their "moments" where they **** up, but you have to be a bad cook to start your oven on fire.
iomnomnomux3 0
coming from someone with experience, ey?
uhmkeil 6
It's "eh," not "ey" And I never said I was a master chef of sorts. It's common sense.
