It’s never a good thing to come back to your building from classes to find a fire truck sitting outside and waiting to be given the clear to go back inside. Even worse when you find out that they were on your floor and in your hall.
Turns out one of my hallmates thought it would be a good idea to make instant mac and cheese without reading the directions, so when she put it in the microwave? She put it in completely dry. No water, no milk, nothing. And unlike the kind you do on a stove? The sauce in the microwave ones is powder. ...Powder in general is highly flammable. So it caught fire, which made the microwave catch fire, which made the microwave blow up.
It didn’t spread so I’m safe. But the whole building smells like burned pasta and it’s really hard to do homework or get to sleep. What was she thinking?
