deird_ljI really shouldn't be allowed near kitchens.
I just discovered that I left my oven on... LAST NIGHT.
Yes, that's almost 24 hours.

Date: 2008-09-09 10:13 am (UTC)When I was living there, my housemate made me wait for a repairman to fix it and when he arrived he looked at me and said, "Right, well, I guess I'd better teach you how to use your oven" before showing me why we hadn't turned it on properly.
And when my hubby was housesharing, his housemate got him to wait for a repairman because it was pouring smoke and the chap looked and said, "How about you try cleaning it?"

..one time I almost caught the kitchen on fire frying an egg. Does that count for something?

Date: 2008-09-11 06:43 am (UTC)Woke up about two hours later with my head on my textbooks, wondering what the funny smell was...toast? coffee?....the eggs. Ohhhhh sh**.
I fairly flew to the kitchen(Brunwsick terrace house, so tiny long galley-type kitchen tacked on in a former alleyway), and found eggs splattered all over the walls and internal window, and one brave little black egg bouncing around in the very dry and black saucepan.
Afraid it would explode, I sat the saucepan on the sink and put a lid on it.
Then I spent a fun hour cleaning streaks of partly-boiled egg and shells off the walls and window, and finding chunks of hardboiled egg all over the floor, behind cupboards, etc.
I think when we moved out, there was still some stuck right up by the ceiling that I couldn't reach...
More recently (not kitchen-related), we managed to leave the car with both front doors wiiiiide open (and thus the interior light on) all night long. No drained battery or resident spiders in the morning, so all was well.
