Today, I made microwaveable popcorn. When the bag finished popping, I took it out and opened it and put my face in close to get a big whiff. It now feels like I have third degree burns inside my nose and behind my eyes. FML

AlbertEinstein_ tells us more.

This is my FML, i had to make an acc to comment! I know, people, this was so incredibly stupid!! I have no idea why the hell I thought that would be a good idea, I think I wanted to check if there was salt in it before I left the kitchen (no idea how smelling it would clarify) so that I wouldn't have to get back up! I totally deserved this one, and I will surely never, ever do this again! My original FML had "And yes, it is possible to be this stupid" at the end, but that must've been edited out :( And I put the name Albert Einstein cause it was ironic or something, I don't know. But I certainly didn't think I was smart or anything....And my eyes still hurt :(

...Have you never made popcorn before? Or read the big letters on the bag that say; "CAUTION: CONTENTS ARE HOT!"?

People like you are the reason we have warning labels.

You know that shot causes cancer right? The factory workers have to wear masks so they don't inhale that stuff and get cancer

You must be VERY intelligent ;)

Intelligence has nothing to do with common sense. Some incredibly intelligent people have little. Technically, she could be the intellectual equivalent to Albert Einstein but still not have the common sense to know that a popcorn bag is really ******* hot and she shouldn't put her face in it.

Well, now you've learned your lesson, OP. But freshly popped popcorn does smell like Heaven doesn't it?

Read the instructions, these are not for trash collectors, ydi for not doing so....

Not sure if this is an education fail or common sense fail... Next time when your car engine overheats, don't do anything stupid under the hood, or you won't be in any physical shape to type up an FML. Consider yourself lucky on this one.

Technically it would second at the worst. Third degree burns are so bad they burn the nerves and you can't feel pain because of it.
