Today, I decided to make homemade french fries. I figured all I needed was potatoes and salt, right? Wrong! I also needed the fire department and an ambulance. FML

Today, I went over to this girl's house that I really like. I was planning on cooking her dinner. In the process, the grease in the pan got too hot and caught fire. We ended up having to call the fire department. 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, to impress my date with dinner, I spent hours prepping and cooking. Just as I was about to serve her, I realized I'd left the stove on and my kitchen was on fire. As the fire trucks arrived and my date looked on in horror, I couldn't help but think, "My cooking is so hot it literally set the house on fire." FML

Today, I over-boiled some potatoes. I was having a bad day and this tipped me over the edge. I burst into tears and threw the potatoes all over my kitchen. I then stomped on the piping hot potatoes. The bottoms of my feet are blistered and still feel like they’re burning. FML

Assholes that stereotype Americans as a bunch of morons but, as it turns out, can't read. Nice job

@ #49 Except OP is from Sri Lanka..... also, you can bake french fries w/o oil btw. I've used eggwhites as a subsitute before and they bake just as well. They don't have to be deep fried.

#9 is talking about Sparky the dog, lol. when I was in elementary school we would always have assemblies about fire safety and they'd make us watch "Sparky the Dog Safety videos" :P

Smokey the bear teaches about forest fire prevention, Sparky the fire dog teaches about home fire prevention. I actually knew about Sparky long before Smokey, and I am not even American.
