Today, I made my brother go to the grocery store to get some frozen pizzas. Ten minutes after he left, the power cut out. Still no power. Still hungry. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after a power outage at my house, my 14-year-old brother was genuinely confused as to why our flashlights still worked if we had no electricity. FML
Today, I heard that there was supposed to be a huge blizzard heading our way, so I went out to stock up on groceries. After spending $600 on food, I drove home and packed most of it into the fridge and freezer just in time for our power to go out. FML
Today, I stood there for 10 minutes trying to fix the toaster, until I called my brother to help me. I'd forgotten that it wasn't plugged in. He now thinks I'm a complete idiot. FML
Today, I woke up to find my power was out. After taking a shower in the dark and being unable to make myself lunch, my power came on two minutes before I had to leave for school. FML
Today, while making lunch, I passed out. After waking up in the hospital, my brother yelled at me for leaving the freezer open. FML
Today, immediately after placing my order and paying for my meal, the Chinese takeout place lost all power. FML
Today, my power went out due to a huge snow storm. I was in desperate need of candles and flashlights. I had to walk to the store since the roads were closed. I walked 4 miles in the blizzard. When I got home, the power came back on. FML
Today, the power was out. I tried to explain to my boyfriend that he wouldn't be able to watch any TV until the power came back on. His response was, "But we have Netflix." FML
Today, there was a power outage at my apartment. I ended up deciding that the power wasn't going to come on any time soon, and that I should go to a hotel for the night. Just after I unpacked at the hotel, my neighbor called to say the power had come back. FML
Today, during a storm-related power failure, I jerry-rigged an inverter from my car to supply the essentials. In doing so, I managed to blow up the fridge, smoke and all. The power came back on 5 minutes later. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe go somewhere and get some different food yourself? It's not that hard

It's a shame grocery stores don't sell things that don't need to be heated prior to consumption. Things like fruit, vegetables, and Twinkies. Shame.

Start a fire and roast 'em. Or put them in your now-defunct freezer. Because it isn't working, your frozen pizzas will defrost and become suitable for consumption. Duh.

Or get them yourself.
Soloman212 28
... You realize that the problem is that the OP is unable/unwilling to consume the pizzas in the state they are purchased, which is frozen, right? I'm sure that the power going out didbt cause OP's brother's car to implode during the trip or anything.

Just text him telling him to go to little caesars for a hot n ready.

What is the world coming to, I'm hoping #1 was joking, highly doubt it.
Soloman212 28
I would understand people simply not liking a joke, but... Really? I didn't think there could be any doubt that I was joking.

I've made bagel bites, hot pockets, and pretzel sticks over a fire. I see no reason why you couldn't make a frozen pizza that way as well.

Meanwhile in Africa...

I've eaten frozen pizza cooked on the stove. Tasted completely fine. Don't see what the problem is here.
Soloman212 28
108 and 111, we're referring to the second half of my first comment, regarding the freezer and whatnot.

try a dutch oven :p
SkoomaKi 28
1. That would require Chuck Norris' fart. 2. Methane filled pizza would not be enjoyable. Not a great idea huh?
llamafish 25
Or, a literal Dutch oven. Like the kind used for cooking?
hellbilly205 17
Yea seriously 6 did you stop to think that he meant an actual dutch oven also known as a hobo oven.

Heat the pizza with candles. It doesn't need to be hot, just thawed completely... Cold pizza is still pretty good
Allahu_Akbar 1
Cold pizza is good AFTER it's been cooked THEN refrigerated.
max_wilder 9
It's still the same concept
keven501 12
Time for takeout!
TheWrongRight 5
Maybe OP doesn't live near any takeout places?
boofgall 16
Many takeouts have delivery.
luckyd880 12
This is a stupid one. Not even funny. Sucks your hungry but grow up and do something about it. Eat a granola bar or something that doesn't require cooking. Or next time go out and get the food yourself.

Hey cold pizza is good
SkoomaKi 28
Nothing like the taste of rock-hard frozen pizza!
courtz94 24
I agree. Cold pizza is yummy!
Allahu_Akbar 1
I've actually put cooked pizza in the fridge because I wanted to wait for it to be cold.

He probably took advantage of the situation and ate it. Its ok OP in some countries they wait for power daily ,and sometimes they dont get it all!
ClosetTroll 10
Use a pan on a stove?
staymintyfresh 13
Only if op has a gas stove
ClosetTroll 10
A candle, a metal plate and a pair of tongs then?
llamafish 25
OP can just use their heat vision. What? Not a mutant freak you say? Your loss.
kennyKenz 0
You idiot.
Mommyof2_91 10
Tried the pan on the stove before in a hotel.. It was gross.
ClosetTroll 10
I know it can get gross. It was a mere suggestion as a last resort seeing how starved OP was.
TheDrifter 24
Why has nobody mentioned the barbeque? It works great for frozen pizzas.
girl112891 7
Unless you use a lid. It's just like an oven still on top of a gas stove. Just keep the temperature low.

I hit YDI after the first 5 words.

I don't think you should have done that. Yes, it was wrong to send your brother to buy frozen pizza, but really it was about the POWER GOING OUT!!
N9ne_ZxxZxxZ_ 3
yes we understand, but if anyone should be posting an fml, its his brother cause he had it worst

Don't get your panties in a bunch, there's no need to yell.

McMan 23
I can't tell if OP is complaining since his power went out and his brother still isn't back from shopping, or he came back and can't cook the pizza. :/
lolfood 24
Hell yeah, ******* twinkies!
gmc_blossom 21
Nothing like ******* Twinkies to get your day going...
THE_A_TEEN 28
******* twinkies? You guys must have weird fetishes.

Not to get in a fight with you, DocBastard, but it's better if the last 'shame' is in capitals. IT MAKES IT SOUND LOUDER IN YOUR HEAD(or at least, that's what it sounds like to my head)
Furrywhiplash 14
I will never think of "white cream filling" the same way again...
N9ne_ZxxZxxZ_ 3
55- I couldnt help but notice your list and not only did you break at least 3 of your points in 1 comment, but mine is better (intent to brag? yes and also, i dont find your list important fyi)
Heinousness 0
I never said I followed the rules(I said the list is important, not that it shouldn't be followed[in other terms, I don't think it's stupid, but I break them sometimes]) you should keep comments to yourself. I don't like your list. Welcome to the world of harsh criticisms(my world)
DocBastard 40
N9ne_ZxxZ - Do me a favour and never ever EVER comment on one of my comments ever again. I will NOT tolerate someone who A) thinks women have no rights and B) thinks Hitler "deserves credit", even as a joke. If your profile info is supposed to be a joke, it isn't funny. Not even a little bit. And if it is NOT meant as a joke, you can go the **** to Hell.

Reminds me of Zombieland when the giro grocery store. Right when e is about to hit the zombie with his banjo, there is a box of twinkles on the shelf to the right of te screen. Zombie killing, so fun you forgot why you there to begin with.

Don't say Zombieland
caitlyyn123_ 0
Yeah. I was wondering the same thing. There's no other food??!
