Today, I went to put a lasagna in the oven for dinner. I was greeted by a revolting scent of a chicken-soup and biscuits boxed dinner. The fridge apparently was too full for my brother to put it away inside, so he covered it up and forgot about it in the oven. We made that dinner two weeks ago. FML.

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I opened the preheated oven to discover the chicken casserole I made last week is now sludge. The freshly toasted maggots are scattered all over the oven. I took the casserole out, but didn't have my glasses on to see the maggots before placing the pan of biscuits inside. FML
Today, I’m learning to cook and invited friends over to prove I’m improving. I timed everything perfectly… or so I thought. I realized I’d never actually turned the oven on. We stood around a beautifully plated tray of room-temperature lasagna while I said, “It just needs… a bit more time.” Two hours later, we ordered pizza. FML
Today, I wanted to pack my lunch with some of my homemade meatloaf leftover from last night's dinner, but I couldn't find it anywhere in my fridge. Later in the evening, my boyfriend's parents invited us over for dinner. They served meatloaf. The meatloaf they stole from my fridge last night when they visited. FML
Today, I was reprimanded by my mom and her current man over my opinions on one of their church social friend's "homemade" lasagna. I didn't say anything, just took one bite, and ate no more. How politely do you say that you know full well she shoved Stouffer's frozen lasagna into the oven? I recognized it from just the smell! FML
Today, I cooked dinner for my boyfriend, hoping to impress him with my culinary skills. I burnt the garlic bread, overcooked the chicken, and managed to set off the smoke alarm three times. When I finally served the meal, my boyfriend said, "It's like a sad buffet at a middle school prom." FML
Today, I reheated leftover pasta at work. I forgot to crack a vent on the container and it exploded in the microwave. Sauce coated the inside, so I spent my lunch break scrubbing while coworkers waited awkwardly to heat their food. The smell is still hanging in the office air. FML
Today, I was sick with the flu so my boyfriend announced that he would make me some chicken soup. It was touching until I stumbled to the kitchen and found out that his "chicken soup" was actually leftover KFC bones boiled in water. FML
Today, I woke up late and in a rush, I grabbed what I thought was a container of leftover spaghetti from the refrigerator to take to work. At lunch, I opened it to find it wasn't spaghetti, but raw marinated chicken my roommate had prepped for dinner. I ended up eating a vending machine sandwich that tasted like cardboard. FML
Today, to treat the family, I cooked something nice in appreciation for sticking it out over the past few tough months. Unfortunately, I chose this one day to not wear my oven mitts when carrying the food to the table, spilling the food all over the carpeted floor. FML
Today, after 30 minutes of pre-heating the oven to make a special meatloaf for my husband's birthday, I remembered that I had hidden the cake in there. FML

Ooh sorry op. I would be so mad. Maybe you should get revenge. Put it in the vents in his room and he will suffer forever

In OP's defense, we don't cook with the oven very much in the summer either. It makes the house too hot. I haven't looked in my oven for at least a week or two, if not longer.

Stove > Oven, pop open a can of soup or throw on a few eggs!

I was thinking the same thing! Even here in the south I cook in the oven 3+ days a week during the summer. Cookies, cakes, dinner, and a host of other odds and ends stuff

We hardly ever cook in the oven, mainly on the cooker

It gets so hot in the summer with the oven on, we BBQ most of our meals so I can go a long while without looking in the oven as well.

I had a friend who done the same exact thing! They just laughed about it and said "what a **** up" Main thing is was the lasagna ok? I love a good lasagna...... Not so much two week old skanky chicken.

He caused that mess. Tell him to go clean it up.

Ugh, thinking about how it must've smelled is horrible enough. Time to let your brother clean it while you order some delicious food.

Did nobody notice a horrible stench in the kitchen?

Ovens are somewhat air tight. They have to be, or they wouldn't serve their purpose. Add tinfoil on top and it wouldn't have been too hard for it to go unnoticed, especially if they don't cook very often.
