Today, my lovely boyfriend decided to make grilled cheese on his own for the first time in months. Apparently, within that time span he forgot that plastic doesn't go well with prolonged heat. Goodbye favorite pan and spatula. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend was cooking me dinner. He walked away and I decided to help by giving the pan of veggies a sautee flip. My boyfriend failed to mention that he had just pulled that pan out of a 500 degree oven. FML
Today, my kids tried to make grilled cheese by turning the toaster sideways. When all was done, it all flew out onto the kitchen floor. Both my kids and my husband left the mess there for me to clean up when I got home. FML
Today, my boyfriend came home while I was making a snack in the kitchen. We started making out and he lifted me up and sat my ass on the hot stove. FML
Today, I treated my boyfriend to an expensive dinner using the last of my paycheck. I had to excuse myself to the bathroom a few minutes in. I came back to find my plate empty. His excuse was, "I didn't want the food to get cold." FML
Today, my boyfriend has a freezer full of his favorite dish, which I cooked for him, yet he is subsisting on chocolate and those pathetic ready-made sandwiches from the supermarket. Why? Thawing and heating up a meal is too much trouble when I’m not there to do it for him. FML
Today, I tried to make a grilled cheese sandwich for myself, but as soon as I started, my mom rushed into the kitchen and criticized me for making it "wrong". She then made the sandwich for me. It tasted significantly worse than when I make them. FML
Today, my boyfriend spent forty minutes making pasta sauce when we had a perfectly good jar of pasta sauce in the pantry. FML
Today, my boyfriend thought it was OK for both of us to leave the house with the oven on. FML
Today, my boyfriend wanted to make breakfast. Since I usually do all the cooking, I said that was fine. Four hours later, my boyfriend and I were sitting on the sidewalk across the street as the firemen sprayed down the burnt remains of our kitchen. FML
Today, I was quietly admiring my boyfriend from outside the kitchen as he made us dinner, only to witness him drop a load of spaghetti on the floor, swear, then scoop it all up and place it back on the plate. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

All the hate from others aside, I think it's good that he tried to cook, but perhaps doesn't have much experience and made a mistake. Maybe you can teach him how to cook some foods, it could be a cooking date or something.

When I was a little kid I used to microwave them, I do not recommend this because it's not good haha. Also, they make these bags you can put the sandwich together in and cook in toasters.

Ok, I'm sorry but what adult doesn't understand the basic concept of plastic + heat = hell on earth?

What did he do to ruin it? Leave the spatula on the pan for too long?

I hope he offered to buy you new ones!

if it's in a pan it's fried, not grilled. if it goes under the grill it's grilled. but if it goes under the grill there is no pan involved. so how did he reck your pan making grilled cheese, that's like recking your microwave with a roast turkey.

You clearly don't have a firm grasp on how things work. When you melt plastic onto the pan (polymers), it doesn't exactly come off with soap and water. Your analogy is the true wreck.

u clearly didn't understand what I was saying. it doesn't matter what has melted to the pan or how u try to clean it, he was using a grill you don't need a pan at all!

Grilled cheese in America is usually done on a pan though

it sucks that things ended this way but at least he tried to cook his own sandwich and wasn't laid back on a easy chair yelling at you to "make [him] a sammich" because he just "doesn't know how". It's a forgivable offense. well upon him realizing he maybe ****** up and needs to buy you a new pan and spatula. though on that note, a /favourite/ pan and spatula? Really? I guess if you are an avid cooker this maybe makes sense (though I'd feel you'd have multiple of your "favourites" then) but I feel that statement is just being a little over dramatic no?

I feel your pain. My fiancee used a metal spatula on the ONLY non-stick pan in the house, scratching the hell out of it in the process. It's no longer non-stick.
