Oh my, the primitives can be so stupid.
So very stupid.
Isn't it a normal thing to open the door and check the inside of the oven before turning it on?--isn't it so normal one just does it instinctively, without even thinking about it?

We ordered a pizza last night
(my son and I)
I put the rest (3 pieces) and the box in the fridge.
My wife gets home and eats the last three pieces. Not a problem.
I go to roast a chicken tonight and preheat the oven.
For some reason, instead of tossing the empty box into the recycling bin, she put it in the oven. I can only guess she put it in after the first piece to keep it away from one of our thieving bastard dogs.
Anyway, the oven heats up and starts smoking. Of course, guess what's nearly on fire.
(sigh)
Oh, I forgot. These are primitives.

1. They need garage door sensors in there
I've had a few close calls like that. Fortunately, I'm the only one here now and remember these incidents so I'm a strict "nothing that melts or burns allowed on or in stove" kind of guy.
(well except some of my cooking experiments)
It's just easier to open the door and look inside, before turning on the oven.
Damn.

3. My mother is the queen when it comes to this
that is why I will put NOTHING in the oven when not in use. Absolutely nothing.
We learned the hard way I guess, LOL!
Put anything you want, into the oven.
Just be sure to open the door and check the inside before you turn the oven on.
Geeeesh.

7. I never used to
but there are only so many places I can keep things from this dog.
In this case, I had put it in the fridge. I saw the box was gone in the morning and figured she just ate the last 3 pieces and tossed the box in the recycling bin. We don't normally put cold stuff into the oven, but she must have put it in there to protect the pieces. Why she didn't toss the box when she was done, I don't know. All I know is I'm glad I glanced over and saw this smoking white pizza box in the oven I was preheating.
Cardboard gets pretty hot, when you think about it - particularly pizza cardboard, which is built to retain heat.

4. I live alone, so I don't have to deal with little surprises like this, lol.
Although I must admit that many years ago I did put an opened jar of mayonnaise away in the cupboard and not the fridge............

5. We used to put the leftovers in the oven - box and all- when I was a kid
I'll never forget that hot cardboard infused with pepperoni fat kitchen smell! Glad you caught it in time!

6. I just did it a couple of weeks ago.
Was trying to get bread to rise in a kitchen that was too cold. Put it in the oven and totally forgot when I preheated it to bake cookies.
Good thing you all caught it before it went up in flames.
Well, Hell. Given the intelligence shown at this bonfire, one quite reasonably suspects that oftentimes the primitives forget to pull down their pants before sitting on the commode.
Geezuz.

Frank, you're sort of our expert on primitive psychology, could this DUmmie have created this entire story just to work in the fact that it has a recycling bin in order to gain some Algore points from the DUmmies?

You know, I could think of a few mundane events that happened today in my life to write about, but telling the world I burned a pizza box would never be one of them, even if it did happen. Weird people.

Nah.
Now, I'm not God, and so don't know for sure the actual facts of the story.
The diet cola primitive allegedly is seriously ill, but hanging on.
People like that--all people, from decent and civilized people to the primitives on Skins's island--tend to magnify unimportant events.
Right now, I don't feel like posting that I broke a shoelace.
But if I was aggrieved by something, I might do that.
I suspect the diet cola primitive was just having one of those "attention whore" moments.
Of course, the "recycling" bit is a nice touch, but probably that's all it is, a nice little touch.

I ran into a couple headscratchers today while I was trying to fix my car, but I haven't posted them online yet. And I'm having roast beef and rice for dinner. Just so you know. :lmao:

we all have brain farts but this seems to be a daily thing for the DUmmie chilrun

Who preheats an oven before looking inside it first ? Even if one doesn't store things in there, one would often adjust the racks for whatever one is going to cook first.
Its quite a bit less painful to make those changes when the racks are cold. I would think that pain would be a motivator, even for primitives.

That's because they have $hit for brains....
FWIW, I toss my empty pizza boxes into a "recycle bin". It's called a "wood stove"....
-
That one guy wants to go to the trouble and expense of having garage door sensors put in the oven? Oh God.
I don't think you're supposed to recycle pizza boxes, are you? The paper refiners don't want pepperoni & cheese grease mucking up the machinery.
I find it endlessly hilarious how much time they spend typing out minutae. Remember the guy/girl who re-engineered its paper plates to gain structural integrity? I'm still laughing at that one. It's good to laugh.

Umm, Pizza Boxes can't actually be recycled. They have food and oil on them, which will mess up an entire recycling batch. They have to put in the trash. DUmmies, don't even understand their own processes :banghead:
-
Umm . . .
I think diesel driver covered the method of recycling that I prefer. It's called "Adirondack recycling."
As such, he gets an H5.

We need some legislation to protect this minority. Make a tax on anything but delivered pizzas to fund a program to make DUmbass proof ovens.

Do you really want to do that?
The main reason we have so many DUmbasses now is because of warning labels and "childproof" whatever.
Natural selection is no longer taking place....

So much truth in that and worth another H5.

My hubby had Beck on this afternoon, and he was talking about how they won't let motorcycles and sport cycles dealers sell those 4 wheelers for kids that were manufactured in China that are now on their lot, due to lead. Supposedly the only way you have a problem is if the kids are licking the gears, brakes, etc. Beck said that was when natural selection should take place with children. Reminded me of you posts above. Must be DUmmie kids.

Well, I broke a nail. I was getting one of the cast iron skillets out of the oven where I store them. Handy dandy place if I do say so myself. I was reaching for it and not paying enough attention. Jabbed my fingers into the side instead of connecting with the handle. It was my longest one, too. Pissed me off.

Long nails are HOT! I just hate it when "Toots" gets to passionate and digs them into my back!
