Food and Shopping: Sadly discontinued

Sadly discontinued

By Anonymous - 05/10/2013 08:17 - United States

Today, I was grocery shopping. When I got to the frozen foods, I saw some Lean Pockets, which I haven't had in forever, so I bought a couple of boxes. Around lunch time, I was hungry and thought I could have some, until I realized why I stopped buying them: I don't have a microwave. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I was craving some popcorn, so I went to the supermarket and bought the microwaveable type. When I got home, I remembered I didn't have a microwave. FML

Today, I bought $250 worth of groceries and was feeling rather good about myself because it's the first time I've been able to do so in months. When I returned home I found my fridge/freezer broken. Most of the food I bought was dairy or frozen. FML

I'm so tired

Today, I was so tired at work that I stared at the microwave waiting for my food. It was a full minute before I realized I'd never actually turned it on after I'd put the food in it. FML

Parenting gone feral

Today, as I searched for food to take to work for lunch, I noticed that the only recent addition to our fridge is chocolate milk and popsicles. My mom went grocery shopping yesterday. FML

Today, my mom still hasn't gotten over the novelty of our brand new microwave. We've been eating hot pockets for nearly a week now. FML

Today, I made myself a hot pocket for lunch. I managed to scald myself on the red-hot cheese, and at the same time bite into the center, which was somehow still frozen solid. FML

Today, I was preparing food in the microwave. I hadn't noticed that a fly had flown in until I noticed its melted corpse engraved into my hot-pocket. FML

Today, my grocery shopping consisted of Poptarts, SpaghettiOs, Lucky Charms, Popsicles, Easy Mac, and Twinkies. I'm a 25-year-old woman with no kids. FML

Today, I decided I would eat healthy in order to lose weight. Feeling powerful, I threw away all of the icecream in my freezer. An hour later, I picked the icecream carton out of the garbage and ate the entire half-melted carton. FML

Use an oven?

Short term memory loss, OP? I'm almost scared to ask how many times this has happened with other things. But, I guess the next best thing would be to go to a bakery and get whatever the equivalent would be.

... You guys are being really harsh. It happens to EVERYONE to forget the most obvious things. Being absent-minded happens - especially if you're tired. Also, I'd like to point out that not everyone has a oven. Amazing, I know ! But some people only have a portable stovetop with two burners on it - I've seen it commonly enough in students. I'd also like to point out that Hot Pockets are considered ''cheap student food'', like mac n' cheese or noodles - so the idea that someone who has enough money to buy a lot of ''cheap student food'' OBVIOUSLY has enough money to buy a (decent) microwave isn't viable. But even if you don't have a microwave at home - you can probably microwave them as your lunch with those who are at work or at school. Or, indeed, put them in the oven - so at least it's not a loss.
