  • Nothing worse in this world than burnt popcorn

    I hate when I am not paying attention and let the popcorn go for like an extra minute......

    Pulled it right from the microwave and RAN outside to put it right in the trash can in my robe. Even with the windows open I bet I can smell it for the next day or 2:crying:

      One night back in college after pulling an all nighter I put some chicken in the microwave to cook it. This was an old microwave, probably one of the first and the timer on it had broke. I could usually tell stuff was done by smell and it worked otherwise so I kept using it. So the chicken was cooking and went and sat down on the couch to rest for a couple minutes while it was cooking. I unintentionally dozed off and two hours later I awoke to a horrid smell. The microwave was still going and the chicken, well it was basically cremated and the microwave fan was blowing the ash all around my small little place. The smell was just god awful. It went way beyond burnt flesh. I had to sleep the next couple nights in my car and clean everything, walls and all, to get the smell out. Even then it lingered for a good while.

      I won't even get into the one time I burnt pop corn.

        one night someone left the popcorn on in the staff breakroom a wee bit too long, the smell was bad enough but then staff complained patients
        complained they couldn't breath, family members of pt's. left. The base head fire dude for that night came out to see what all the phone calls to his office were about.
        it was an interesting night not to mention the morning"what the hell happened?" meeting.

          Probably a good place to remind about additional or just checking your smoke detectors.

          A few weeks ago my friend's wife smelled smoke, opened a hallway linen closet and discovered flames, ran outside for a hose but didn't think it would reach, a neighbor heard her yelling and hooked up some hoses and put the fire out. Probably 5 minutes more and it would have been too late and the whole all wood house would have been beyond saving. When the fire department arrived they scanned the area with infrared detectors to make sure it was totally out so no additional water damage from them. They think the cause was an electrical short. The fire damage was confined to the closet, rafters above, and the hallway, but the black smoke went through the entire house. They had a crew come out and wipe down everything and every surface in the house, ran industrial hepa filters 24 hours a day for a week, washed/dry cleaned everything, and the place still smells like smoke. So...make sure you have SMOKE DETECTORS anywhere a fire could start and if they are battery operated make sure the batteries are good.
