Cooking Fails: I’m Not Alone!

cf_triplelayerfail
My cooking fails are pretty legendary (not quite as legendary as this triple-layer-fail above, but pretty amazing). From burnt popcorn that set off my dorm’s fire alarm to Hamburger Helper that overflowed out of the skillet and covered about half the stove, I’ve made some pretty big kitchen bloopers in my day. But it looks like I’m not the only one with problems in the kitchen–at least, if these pictures are to be believed!

cf_literalfail
Someone took the directions a little too literally–and mathematically. XD

cf_friedeggs
We’re having fried eggs for breakfast…and fried shells, too, apparently.

cf_chewycupcakes
The plaintive note along with the aforementioned chewy cupcakes makes this all the funnier.

cf_burnedpancake
Hey, I’ve made those pancakes before–they make great Frisbees!

cf_coffeepotpasta
This is, um…a rather creative take on boiling pasta…

cf_meltedcuttingboard
Mmm, melted cutting board, my favorite!

cf_lackofmuffintin
I’m sensing a distinct lack of a muffin tin here.

cf_electrickettlefail
Yep, that’s an ELECTRIC kettle burned onto a stove eye. I think Grandma may have been oblivious to what “electric kettle” means.

cf_riceclump
I’ve heard of sticky rice, and I’ve heard of rice cakes. This right here is a giant rice CLUMP.

cf_superboiledegg
That egg is not just hard-boiled, it’s PURPLE-boiled.

cf_flamingpasta
Um, I know dry spaghetti looks like long fireplace matches, but dang.

cf_explodingcan
Methinks somebody microwaved this can with the metal lid on.

cf_unrecognizablenom
Whatever this may have been before the oven got to it, it is now “Unrecognizable Nom.”

cf_rackedpizza
cf_rackednom
cf_holeynom
And these three images teach us that food should never be cooked on a bare oven rack…

cf_burnednom
Yep, I’ve burned several thousand calories with this method, and it did help me lose weight–sorta, in a roundabout way…LOL

cf_plasticstirfry
In case you were wondering, plastic doesn’t really cook things that well on the stove.

cf_slicedmac
This has to be the laziest addition of cheese to pasta I’ve ever seen.

cf_flamingoven
Pro tip: When there’s heat in the oven, that’s a good thing. When there’s an actual FIRE in the oven, something is WRONG.

“Well, It’s Fixed, Ain’t It?” Crazy and Hilarious Repairs

The Internet is chock-full of people repurposing items…but the people responsible for the following set of pictures took “repurposing” to a new level. Repairing various items with only the tools and materials on-hand sounds like an admirable, MacGyver-esque task, but sometimes, the results are less than professional and more than a little crazy.

Each of these pictures features a “kludge” (a funny/crazy repair of this sort)…scroll down and get ready to laugh and/or be amazed!

chaircouch
Well, it does the job well enough, I guess…

doorbellwires
I dunno about you, but I think I’d just knock.

onionringheater
When you don’t have an oven or a microwave…use a space heater!

flashlightheadlight
Replace the headlamp, you say?…NAAAAH!

coffeemakerkludge
This coffeemaker’s lid has been pried open, the filter looks like repurposed paper, and the coffeepot doesn’t even fit under the spout. This is about as kludgey as it gets.

softtarpcar
Well, the good news is that their new soft-top (soft-tarp?) kinda matches the car paint…

wrenchlock
When you REALLY don’t want anybody getting into (or out of) the house.

buggyswing
All’s well until those chains break and send kids hurtling away like rockets!

hangerovenrack
No, no, I meant put the hangers on the CLOTHES rack, not the OVEN rack!

pringlescanengine
This looks like an engine fire waiting to happen.

outboardbabyseat
I don’t think the child safety belts will reach out the back that far.

carmod
Good news: this car is now road-trip-ready. Bad news: no more seeing out the back window.

ducttapecupholder
I’ve heard of using duct tape for everything, but using the whole ROLL on ONE thing? LOL

coneholecover
Well, I guess this kinda covers the hole in the road. Sorta.

suspendedfloorfan
When you absolutely NEED a fan pointed in a certain direction, at a certain height…

randomspoiler
Not sure whether this guy was trying for a super-cool spoiler or a radio antenna with better range.

powercordkludge
I love how most of it is wrapped around with yellow electrical tape, as if that makes it 100% safer.

frankencar
It’s a Frankencar!

404tilenotfound
So, someone is familiar with the Internet, but not tile repair.

schoolchaircarseat
Of all the chairs to put in a vehicle, they chose an uncomfortable-as-all-get-out plastic school chair?
