Have any of you had any accidents or funny incidents with your microwave oven? I havent had any but have heard of friends who have had - some of them trivial funny stuff and a few of them of a more serious nature. Have you had any share-worthy incidents and anecdotes?

Well, my incident with a microwave was not being an accident as much as being stupid. But I tried to heat a can of soup in the microwave. Unfortunately, I overheated it, causing the can of soup to explode making a big mess in my microwave. It was a definite experience I learned from about paying attention to how many minutes I set my microwave to. -Feel Free to Disagree!

Most of the time its an oversight than an accident and most of the time it just gives you something to smile about!

I had an issue a few months ago. I tried to fix a bag of popcorn in the microwave with no such luck. Instead of popcorn, it came out like charcoal, not to mention it was smoking,yellow smoke I might add. It was so bad, the whole apartment looked like it was on fire. We turned on the stove fan and had to open all of our windows to get rid of the smoke and the smell. It was terrible. Our other roommate burned a bag of popcorn too so at least I know I'm not alone.
