Today, I decided to make myself a nice meal. I bought expensive pasta and sauce etc. It looked delicious, I decided the finishing touch would be some parmesan cheese. I grabbed the bag and threw a handful of cheese on my meal. The cheese was about 98% mould. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I made homemade pasta from scratch. I spent hours kneading the dough, rolling it out, and cutting it into perfect strips. When I went to cook it, I realized that I forgot to add salt to the dough. The pasta tasted like damp cardboard. FML
Today, feeling too lazy to cook dinner, I bought a bagged salad from a low-end store. I dumped the contents into a bowl; the first thing that fell out was a dead mouse. Bon appetit. FML
Today, I was having a cheat meal after two weeks of strict dieting. When I opened the pizza box, I saw a cockroach. It had been baked into the cheese. FML
Today, I was halfway through eating a what I though was a delicious sandwich, when I turned it over and saw nasty green mold on the bread. FML
Today, while on break from work, I went to the cafeteria and bought cheese cubes. One of my coworkers, who is usually very pleasant, asked to try some and I said yes. She ate all the cheddar cubes in the bowl, which are the only ones I like. I wasted $3 for someone else to eat my food. FML
Today, I came home tired and hungry from work. I put my feet up and sat down with a big bowl of chips and salsa. I thought I must've been really hungry because my regular no-name salsa tasted way better than usual. I looked down to examine the jar. Looks like I like the taste of mold. FML
Today, I went to work. All day, all I wanted to eat was my favorite cheese, which was waiting for me at home. I came home and someone had eaten it, then put the empty wrapper back in the fridge. FML
Today, I was making one of those microwavable pizza kits. Realizing I had no crushed red pepper to put on it, my mom suggested using a chili pepper she had dried. Thinking it was a great idea, I cracked it open on my pizza and out popped some fuzzy white mold and two maggots. FML
Today, I decided to have some bagels. It was only after I ate them that I looked at the cream cheese and discovered that it expired 3 years ago. FML
Today, like many other days, I got up to make breakfast before dawn. Not wanting to waste food, I took apart a chicken that looked fine, cutting away some of the breast for a burrito, only to realize after I ate it and went to throw out the bony bits, it was completely moldy underneath. Penicillin, anyone? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI, you should have checked the colour of the cheese as now you've had to savour the flavour of mould. Do yourself a favour next time. All hail the letter u.

YDI, it's really not difficult to make sure all your cheese is in date and to check there is no mold in it. And what's with us British thinking we've cooked a meal just becasue we heated up the pasta and the sauce.

Why do people keep saying cheese is 100% mould it deffinitly not. it's the the bi-product of milk exposed to acids and other chemicals to produce a curd. Some cheeses are exposed to healthy strains of mold like gorgonzola which cause the blue veining and Brie but cheese itself is NOT I repeat NOT 100% mould. Idiots.

Quite a number of people are arguing about the spelling of an insignificant word. I would tell you all to get a life but I'm here too so FML.

1. Mould is the way it's spelled in most English speaking countries except the USA so please try not to be so superior you look like morons 2. Cheese isn't mould it's dairy, occasionally cheese have mould added in such as blue cheese, so once again stop trying to sound smart you look like morons 3. Pasta you buy from a regular store is cheap but if OP went to a store where they make fresh pasta it was likely more expensive so for the third time stop trying to sound smart etc etc All that being said OP YDI for not checking and for using pre-grated parmesan on expensive pasta.

I have done almost the same exact thing, except it was shredded cheese. it wasn't past the expiration date, hadn't been opened, and yet it was moldy. so FYL, it can happen. you shouldn't have to check every single food item if you haven't even opened it yet.
