Recently I wanted to hear my coffee. I forgot to take the spoon away when I put it in the microwave oven. In a few seconds I heard a bad hum, realised it and stopped the microwave. Thankfully nothing happened. Have you had any microwave accidents?

In my previous work, someone microwaved a food that was wrapped in aluminum foil. It caught fire and the microwave bursts into flames and it disrupted work for a good hour or so.

@allen0187 glad that people found it funny and there was no injury. Was the employer fined or made to buy anew microwave.

@pitstop it was actually funny. Plus, it gave one manager a good scare. Fun times!

I haven't had microwave oven accidents yet. As every time I will be careful and follow the right instructions to use the microwave oven. If the food must be heated in the microwave oven, I will read the instructions before so that I will not make a mistake.

Being distracted one morning, I put my coffe cup in the microwave just to reheat it and put it for way too long, and it made a terrible mess.

I read from somewhere that the microwave was invented by accident.

Nothing of that type, but I have left food in too long and had to clean the microwave.
