Today, my dad used the stove to boil water. Unfortunately, he turned the wrong burner on, setting the smoke alarm off. What's worse was the smell of burning plastic that came from the coffeemaker being melted down. It's been over an hour, and my eyes still burn like hell when I walk into the kitchen. FML

Today, I ran into the living room when I heard the smoke alarm going off. Turns out, my friend thought it was a good idea to melt a plastic cup on my floor heater. He also thought the best way to put it out was to urinate on it. My house smells like burnt pee. FML

Heart of Glass

By blahblahblah - 15/04/2020 20:00

Today, I was sitting on a stool by the stove while my dad was making stir-fry. The glass lid he had covering the skillet overheated and exploded. As huge shards of broken glass rained down on his only daughter's head, my dad's only concern was whether or not he would have to throw his food away. FML

Today, I was sleeping in my apartment when I woke up to the smell of smoke. Alarmed, I ran out to the kitchen to find my roommates trying to put out a fire on the stove. As soon as they saw me, they ran for it, informing me that it was my problem now. They used my good frying pan. FML

Today, my dad set my hair on fire while cooking. He then tried to convince me that it spontaneously combusted. FML

Today, I got burned, all because the toaster scared me while I was holding a pot of boiling water. FML

Melting

By Smoke Undetected - 13/10/2022 17:00 - United States

Today, I found out that our smoke detector doesn't work when my roommate turned on the wrong burner while trying to cook. Our air fryer was on said burner, and it started to melt. It sat there for who knows how long until I noticed smoke everywhere and went to investigate. We don't have an air fryer now. FML

One night

By Anonymous - 25/01/2020 01:00 - Sweden - ?ngelholm

Today, I woke up from putting my child to bed. Drowsy, I stumbled down to the kitchen to make a mug cookie. I read a recipe on my phone, and put a knob of butter in a cup to melt in the microwave. I put my phone in the microwave and turned it on for 30 seconds, and didn't realize until I smelt burning plastic.. FML

Today, my kitchen nearly burned down because the fire alarm didn't detect the plumes of smoke wafting through the kitchen. This is the same alarm that wails when I use the toaster. FML

The best part of waking up......is breathing in the carcinogenic fumes produced by burning plastic and Folgers in your cup.

If the smoke alarm malfunctioned, you would've been dead by now. News Headlines: Man attempts to boil water, burns house down.

You know what smells worse? Burning microwave. I found this out when my dad accidentally blew ours up. The whole house stank for days.

this is why men should not be allowed near a kitchen. they cant do anything right

Correct. All 3 billion men on the planet should not be allowed in a kitchen because this one man happened to make a very easily made mistake. In that case, you shouldn't be allowed to use a computer ever again simply because you made one moronic comment on this website. That's how this works, right?

First of all; WHO was STUPID ENOUGH to leave a PLASTIC COFFEE MAKER on the STOVE? "Morning dad, coffee smells a little strong this morning." "Yep son, turned on the wrong burner and destroyed the entire coffee maker." "Dad?" "Yes, son?" "Didn't mom tell you to lay off the Quaaludes?" "Well son, had a delayed acid trip, I thought the coffee maker was talking to me and I had to kill it." "Dad, where's mom?" "Well, son...."
