Today, I couldn't shut a drawer in my kitchen, because an oven mitt was blocking it. An oven mitt filled with tin-foil wrapped electronics. My Mom believes Internet hackers can get into her digital camera and prepaid cell phone, and apparently tin-foil will prevent that. FML

Today, my kitchen is trying to kill me. So far, I've hit my head three times on cupboards that opened themselves, cut open my hand on the microwave door when it slammed shut, and burned my cheek with the "heat-proof" oven mitt when I pushed the hair off my face. FML

Today, I was in a hurry to get something out of the oven, so I quickly grabbed my roommate's only oven mitt and grabbed the pan in the oven. It didn't take long to figure out there was a hole in it when my thumb hit the hot pan. FML

Today, while house sitting, I went to take my pizza out of the oven, not realizing that the oven mitt had a hole in it. FML

I've got blisters on my fingers

Today, I learned the hard way that my oven mitt has a hole. Time to get a new one, whenever my finger stops burning. FML

Today, I thought my house was being broken into in the dead of night. Frightened, I dismounted a floor lamp as a makeshift weapon and crept through the house, channelling my inner Ellen Ripley. It turned out to be the wireless printer with a paper jam. FML

Domestic bliss

Today, I had to hide the entire drawer of kitchen knives under my bed just to keep my mother from stabbing her cheating boyfriend, and slashing his tires. This happens more often than I'd like to admit. FML

One hand freestyle

By Clumsy idiot - 27/10/2023 09:00 - United States

Today, I got way too used to using two oven mitts at once to take food out of the oven since I'm so clumsy. So, when I tried to take food out of the oven with the only one oven mitt I could find… Well, take a wild guess what happened. Go on, just try and guess it. FML

Today, I had to explain very slowly to my mum why she cannot put metal cutlery in the microwave. She did it anyway. FML

Today, I snuck into my aunt's house while she was working to raid her pantry, like I do most days. Excited for a snack cake, I went to the pantry. Apparently she'd found out, because there was a lock on it. FML

Today, while cooking dinner, I managed to set my oven mitt on fire. In my panic, I tried to throw it in the sink, but it landed on a stack of t-shirts, which were lying on the counter. Both the mitt and my favorite Sonic Youth t-shirt now have matching burn holes. FML

Tinfoil would foil (pun intended) the hackers, but all we can get is aluminum foil. "They" are keeping the actual tin foil to themselves. Congratulate your mom on building a Faraday cage that will prevent the hackers, but is useless in preventing Satan from entering her camera or phone. Look what Satan did to Anthony Weiner's and Tiger Woods's phones!

she is right. foil will create a faraday cage; no signals in or out. should have cooked them. they'd never be hacked then.

lol if ur camera has video yes the goverment can hack into the mic and camera on it without u knowing. along with the cellphone. tin foil yes does work. but its less stupid to just take the batteries out.

Sorry but tin foil won't stop dedicated hackers

tin foil actually can block certain radio waves and in the case of an emp explosion, her electronics are safe, while yours will be dead. her reasoning is wrong, but tin foil can save your electronics should a nuclear attack occur. :p
