this is the third call i've been on this year revolving around a toaster. here's a psa, and especially to you college kids: use your toaster as intended. it's not there for grilled cheese, not there to light cigarettes, and don't lay them on their sides, kay?

[After having his roommate tell him what the pictures are, he kind of stares. Impressive for a blind man.]

Why would you ever leave a toaster on its side?

[belligerentwarrior]

apparently trying to make toast with a slice of lunch meat on it

[compendiem]

[ burn my bread plays in the distance... ]

I wonder when heavy duty toasters will be developed. Being able to toast grilled cheese would be nice.

[belligerentwarrior]

[Burn, burn, buuuuuuuurn]

i dunno, isn't that something you can do in a toaster oven?

[Freya thinks that's what they're for. She's never owned one.]

[maidhem]

Who would mistreat their toaster like that?!

[belligerentwarrior]

the desperate, hungry, and lazy

[stagemagic]

They lose their appeal significantly when you impose so many limits on them.

[belligerentwarrior]

know what else makes them lose appeal? burning your house own or losing your security deposit

but maybe you're just not a toaster kind of guy

[complementing]

almost had a heart attack thinking that was our kitchen omg

[long_live_the_queen]

I didn't do it

[me_matey]

same tbh

[belligerentwarrior]

where is your faith in me? i'm hurt

[long_live_the_queen]

so how much of the house burned down in the first one

[belligerentwarrior]

depends on your definition of burned down. all of it was still standing, but a good lot of it sure wasn't habitable anymore

[maidofmistakes]

How????????

[belligerentwarrior]

you'd be surprised how quickly appliance misuse can escalate from "i broke it" to "i don't have a house"

that and incompetence, but that's usually one and the same

[activatingcombatmode]

I know a guy who used to tell people grilled cheese in toasters was a life hack

god damn

who's life hacking those kitchens back in shape

[belligerentwarrior]

some really pissed off parents, probably.

internet life hacks can hack your life to pieces, news at 11

[notyourutopian]

What about weaponizing them?
Is that okay?
Asking for a friend.

[belligerentwarrior]

then it's not my problem anymore, that's what.

[devilsadvocato]

Another kitchen lesson for you. Do not put foil in the microwave.

[belligerentwarrior]

fun fact: turns out you can, if you know what you're doing.
but otherwise? pretty sparks aren't worth the risk.

[heiroglyphs]

That was a toaster? It looks like a bomb went off.

[belligerentwarrior]

correct. it WAS a toaster.

i'm not a big fan of telling everyone what to do, but seriously, don't screw with your appliances.
it's my job to deal with what happens after, and sometimes it can be pretty devastating.

[sunnymerc]

and above all else DONT put your dick in it

[belligerentwarrior]

sol.

i'm concerned about you.

[saburai]

If I wasn't aware that the building was still standing, I'd almost wonder if this was my neighbors' apartment.

It truly is sad how common kitchen fires seem to be in the college area.

[belligerentwarrior]

well, you know. desperate, inexperienced, and hungry don't mix well. everyone's gotta learn somehow.

some just get stuck with the short straw. a really short one.

sorry about your neighbor's place.

[missingache]

[As a college kid, he's absolutely horrified.]

Don't they read the instructions on the box telling them not to do that?

[belligerentwarrior]

i like your optimism. that's cute, assuming they read the instructions, or kept the box.

but really, these what, 3 toaster fires out of how many of thousands toasters out there?

[imaginex]

I didn't even realize you could destroy a toaster like that...

[belligerentwarrior]

catching something on fire's pretty effective, gotta say.
