Today, I poured boiling water over my instant noodles. A freshly boiled cockroach also rolled out onto my noodles. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I ordered ramen to go. I looked at my order and discovered a cockroach. Disgusted, I showed it to them, and they apologized by "replacing" it for free. Later on, while I was enjoying the delicious food, I once again discovered a cockroach buried under all the noodles. FML
Today, it appears that moth larvae can make a water boiler their home, especially during my absence for four weeks. I learned it the hard way by pouring their boiled carcasses over my noodles. FML
Today, I was finishing a bowl of ramen while watching a video. As I scooped up the last bits, I realized the clump of seasoning I had been saving for last was actually a dead fly. FML
Today, I was making Cup Noodles for breakfast. After microwaving it for 3 minutes, I carefully grabbed the cup to pour some water out, but my hand gave out and some water spilled on it. Now I have a burned hand and no noodles. FML
Today, after telling my best friend an idiot could make Kraft Dinner, I spilled boiling water all over my hands and forearms while attempting to strain the noodles. FML
Today, I got up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water. I felt something get caught in my throat so I coughed and spluttered a bit. When I turned on the lights I discovered I'd coughed up a cockroach. FML
Today, I was using the same metal spoon to stir boiling noodles and the pasta sauce I was heating up. I decided to taste the sauce and see if it was getting warm, forgetting that the spoon was sitting in boiling water three seconds earlier. FML
Today, I started my new job. I went to microwave food, only to discover roaches and ants crawling out of it. Now I am grossed out but still hungry. FML
Today, I was boiling pasta and tasting it every now and then too see if it was done. As an afterthought, I threw in some lentil pasta as well. Only after tasting a few more times did I notice the maggots that were now slowly rising in the boiling water. I didn't expect that much protein in those lentils. FML
Today, I found a roach in my takeaway. I found it after I felt something hard in my mouth and spat pieces of it back out onto my plate. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

at least you found the roach at that moment instead of when you were eating it.

Nuclear exposure can't kill them, but boiling water will? This is good to know!

Instant noodles 'crunch' surprise at the cost of regular. What a steal ?

At least that's one roach down....

Are you sure it was dead? Those things survive nuclear bombs, I'm not sure if boiling actually kills them or just stuns them.

They can survive the radiation of a nuclear bomb, not the explosion itself.

At least until they evolve into having titanium-plated exteriors.

So, did you, like, not use fresh water, or look inside/clean whatever you were using to boil it?
ladyLALAA 29
I agree if you boiled a kettle or something why would you not check inside first?

Are we actually, like, using like in like texting and, like, typing now?

Maybe they filled from the spout or they did but the roach was on the side in that case do you examine the whole interior of the kettle looking for bugs?
