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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

How did you not see the cockroach?

That was my first thought.

Well, I'm just going to go wash the kettle out now...

No. Screw that. It's buy a new kettle time.

eww now that's disgusting.

Well at 100C all the germs it could be carrying are sufficiently dead. I hope you picked it off into the trash and didn't waste the perfectly good noodles.

Roaches are actually very hygienic, even more so than humans.

I'm actually curious as to what you mean by this. Do they carry less germs?

I have to wonder how you didn't see a roach inside of a pot. And if it was a kettle, how did it get in? Did you not wash it before using it?
andrmac 25
If you only put water into it, if you always leave it on the stove and boil that water why would you wash it unless to get stuff off the outside?

Boiling doesn't remove solid objects (like cockroaches). If you have a dirty kettle or pot, you have a dirty kettle or pot. You should ALWAYS rinse your cookware before using it...

This scares me. I use a kettle, and don't usually wash it out as all it contains is water that is then boiled...so I assume it's sterile, I guess. And the interior is black, so I wouldn't see a roach if one somehow snuck in.

At least it was sterilized

Bear Grylls approves this protein.

Always check the kettle before use!
