Penumbra Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Speaking of microwaves ... I once microwaved a spoon. Blue lightning happens if you do that. I do not recommend the experience. I nearly repeated the situation with a fork in the university cafeteria microwave a few years later. I am now carefully monitored by friends when microwaving my lunch!

I didn’t notice it until I pulled my coffee back out.

Mestiv he/him Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Probably depends on the kind of metal the spoon is made of and it's shape. Forks sounds deadly in Microwave. So does aluminium foil and CDs

Modal Seoul he/him Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 One fine day, I, Rodel, was working on an assignment in class. After I finished, I began to read Warbreaker for the infinitieth time. It seemed to be cool with the teacher and all, until he got up, walked to the front of the classroom and said, "<insert name>, you cannot possibly know everything about this class, and if you do, why are you taking it? Put the book away, please." WHAT THE HECK?? I FINISHED THE STUPID ASSIGNMENT! CAN'T I READ?? WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE WORLD?? $%@# YOU, TEACHER!!! 1
Draginon he/him Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Was reading the Random Stuff thread and someone mentioned Korean barbecue and I remembered something really dumb. I had tried kimchi noodles for the first time and I had to sneeze during that. Once I was done my nasal cavity was feeling terrible like there was a fire in there. After a few minutes of that discomforting feeling I needed to blow my nose. Somehow the earlier sneeze caused some of the sauce to go up into my nasal cavity so I had the spices irritating everything. My sinuses felt so clear after that blow so there was one good thing that came of it. 1

I was dissecting a frog during Biology in 8th grade, and it had that really strong formaldehyde smell. I had a stuffy nose that day, and leaned in to get a closer look a the frog's innards, and then had to sniff really hard and got a full blast of the stuff that I could almost taste it. I did not have clear sinuses after that. 1

Shqueeves Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 My grandfather was at a Chinese restaurant. His meal came with a side a wasabi. He thought it was guacamole. You can guess what happened. 3
ryshadium90 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 My mom used to work at a restaurant and forgot to put the almonds on a customer's order. He told her, just to complain, but she took it seriously and brought him a separate bowl of almonds when he had finished. She got some weird looks.

It wasn't the green Wasabi color, it looked mostly like regular mustard (or maybe a dijon mustard). Not my favorite sandwich ever.
Nathrangking he/him Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 When I was younger I once mistook a pitcher of sangria for iced tea and drank the entire thing. Boy was I embarrassed when they got home and I told them that the iced tea tasted funny. 1

mariapapadia she/her Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 In my language "parachute" is synonim with whore, easy woman etc. When I was about 8 I had a teacher that my parents didn't really like because she would always be late and not put any effort into teaching. So my mother would constantly talk with her friends, saying that my teacher was a parachute. So insead of doing the reasonable thing and ask my mother what that ment, I went to school and asked my teacher in front of the class : " what is a parachute? because my mom always says you are one". Needles to say, that after that my father was the only one going to parent meetings. I also just turned around once and tripped by .. nothing and just fell on my stomach and slided in front of an entire class of people, jumped into a lake without knowing how to swim, thought myself Spiderman and jumped of a bouldering wall from 2m hurting my leg, tried to ride a bike that I couldn't reach the pedals ( because I'm too short) and bumped & fell into a concrete wall, tried to ski, realised that I was sliding downhill (DUUH!), got scared and threw myself on my back to stop, resulting in a sprained ankle. Safe to say, sports aren't my thing.
PlanetReelo she/her Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I called one of the senior doctors on my ward 'babe' today. It was literally out of my mouth before I knew it, I said 'babe, would you mind reviewing this chest x-ray...'. Then I awkwardly proceeded to explain that I call my husband 'babe', so it just sort of slipped out. Luckily, my colleague is a pretty sound and funny guy...he'll probably just tease me about it for the rest of my work life. 4
SilverTiger she/her Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Not a specific incident, but still a bit funny. So, I take chorus in school, and I like to hum/sing under my breath songs we are singing in chorus the rest of the day after that class. Problem is, I only ever remember about 2 or 3 lines from a single song each day, so I just repeat them over and over. I sound like a broken record. Literally.

My sister-in-law once made her husband (my brother) a turkey sandwich with lots of mayonnaise... Only problem was that she accidentally used horseradish instead. Needless to say he had clear sinuses for a while.
Sunbird she/her Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Last time I got a haircut, I went to sit in the salon chair and stepped on the footrest, and ended up tipping the chair almost completely over because it wasn't bolted to the floor. *Facepalm* 1
