By dumb mother - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my mother yelled at me for standing too close to the microwave. Her reason? The radiation was going to seep through, kill my sperm, and cause cancer. FML

Hey, I heard that if you stand too close to the microwave you can get cancer from the radiation in those things. You should probably stay away from them...

I wonder how much 'kimotherapy' costs? Less than chemotherapy, perhaps?

and you honestly think cancer is fun? i would say YOU deserve it, but no one deserves cancer. its a scary and depressing thing to go through. honestly? if the cancer doesnt kill you, the chemo can do some serious damage to vital organs... all for some damn weed? Please... if you think weed is more important than your health, then, well... im a total lost for words...

I'm in 6th grade and I know a microwave produces microwaves from the magnetron making water vibrate and causing friction to hear your food and what not. Thus your argument is invalid.

My dad told my little sister once to keep her nose off the glass because she was going to die of cancer then he told me a few days later it was fine because he didn't care as much.

I heard something about the radiation before and because of it, I do not stand next to the microwave either. Whether that is true or not, I don't care. I still won't stand next to it because microwaves can explode. Not all of them do and you do not necessarily have to put the wrong object in for it to explode, but I have heard stories of them exploding before. It does not hurt to not stand next to it either way. It is not like your body heat will make your food heat it up faster anyway.

Ha I never heard of that before! Lol wtf.

It's true you know. The doctors have started recommending pregnant women to stay a few feet away from the microwave... google it!
