So, funny story. While waiting for a lady to come check out my couch that I put on craigslist, (she's WAY late by the way
anyone need a cheap couch? ) I decided to whip up some popcorn. But
alas! The kitchen has a new powerful stainless steel microwave. (it WAS
so clean!) But I was unaccustomed to such a mighty cooking machine and I
REALLY wanted that popcorn, so I tossed in the bag and pressed the "popcorn" button. and listened for the popping to stop.
Hear me now people!!!
I . Followed . The . Directions !!!
(yeah, I'm shocked too)
But the microwave decided to pull a fast one
on me and instead of nicely cooking the popcorn, it freaking MEGA
ROASTED half the popcorn and blatantly IGNORED the rest of the kernels.
What is with the youth of appliances today??? Such attitude over a
simple request!!! So I'm freaking out because I have this Death Bomb of a
bag that smells like it crawled out of hell, and it might, at ANY
moment, trigger the smoke detectors. And I don't want to anger the few
people that are left on the floor by gassing out the kitchen or making
them go out in the cold, So I'm running like a 70's era cartoon
character, arms out clinging to the bag, down the hall and back to my
dorm. I thrust open the window (it's like, 20 degrees out) and cover my
dorm's smoke detector with a towel. And I heave the blackened, smoking
remnants of the bag into the garbage and place it by my, now freezing,
open window. Now I hunt for the Febreze, and spray that stuff like it's
oxygen. Now I'm sitting here, half packed, freezing, in my room that
smells like Febreze declared war on Orville Redenbacher, hoping that
that lady shows up and buys this freaking couch because I want this
evening to be DONE. Screw you Microwave, Screw you Popcorn, Screw you
Couch, Screw you Arctic Window. I AM DONE.
