None of that can ever compare to a blown up pressure cooker. My kitchen is 15 x 25 and it managed to Splash every wall and everything in between.

 

No, but close to that I had an exploded can of coconut cream.  Blew the cabinet open, got the ceiling, didn't quite make it to the opposite wall.

Eew cuz that has got fat in it - more of a pain to clean up. At least when the ex put his can of Pepsi in the freezer and forgot about it there was a mess but it was diet so not sticky sugar to clean. He did it more than once. The exploding beer bottle (well n/a Sharps) in the camper shell was not amusing either. Dog tried to come through the window into the cab in a panic. Jostling from a rough road made the cap just loosen enough to make a loud squealing noise and spray everywhere.

My late wife liked her Diet Pepsi just at the very cusp of freezing, so that happened pretty predictably a couple of times/month. I got mightily tired of cleaning those...

Ate too much pineapple while cutting it up, seemed to be pretty high in acid because I burned my tongue. Should've stopped after the first piece when I sensed it could be an issue...

My husband had great difficulty with raw pineapple resulting in an extremely sore mouth. Grilling the pineapple seemed to make it much less of an issue. I suspect,without any evidence, that it has something to do with deactivating the “tenderizing” enzyme.

It's the enzymes.  Pineapple has the same effect on me.  Think of it as being eaten by your food.

Oh, yes.  I did that with a  big (think Costco size) bottle of Worcestershire sauce in the corner carousel of my kitchen cabinet, dropped it and it broke and splashed everywhere!  Stink and mess.  

 

Remind me to store my excess wooster sauce in zipped baggies with bubble wrap surround.   🤔 😀

 

Edited to add:  Maybe my hot sauces also.  😄

I will never again decide I want more coffee to warm up the half (+/-) of the 20-oz. Yeti cup I’d let get too cool, and mindlessly make my usual 16 oz. cup.

I shall never again decide to pull out a pork tenderloin from middle of the stack in the upright freezer while in bare feet. Yup - major bruise and a mightily complaining little toe.

If you had done that a couple of weeks ago we could have compared little toes.  Mine was of the right foot.  Yours?

Right foot as well. A year and a half ago I broke my 3 & 4th metatarsal bones in the same foot! Not a freezer mishap that time though, but it has made me very protective of my toes!

I shall never again -- not sure how to explain this -- go searching in the bedroom for a thermometer.  As it turns out the thermometer was not in the bedroom.  But what I did find was a leaking bag of what looked like liquid dog poop.  (I do not have a dog.)

 

The bag had fallen down between my battery of rolling pins and a pile of jeans.  Last fall publication of Rose Levy Beranbaum's The Cookie Bible was delayed, and I did not bake cookies.  Which means the Teflon rolling pin had not been touched in over eighteen months.  And thankfully the jeans on the bottom of the pile are sizes I can't wear anyhow.

I shall never again misplace the thermometer I had just recently located.  I must have set it down somewhere?  I went looking for a small tripod to hold the thermometer.  I eventually found the tripod, but now where is the thermometer?

Found the thermometer again.  Now I can't get it to connect to WiFi.  So far today the thermometer has been my only project.  I changed the batteries.  Maybe a firmware update might help?  I need the thermometer for tonight's braise.  Events like this may explain why dinner is so often delayed.

I will never again try to carry the pizza peel with pizza on board and also the turning peel to save myself a trip back outside.

In keeping with this thread, I probably will never again ask this, but why do you need a thermometer for a braise?  

 

And maybe the intention of being so perfect with certain aspects of what should actually be fun and hobby-like (i.e. cooking), is why dinner is so often delayed?

 

After all, Escoffier's firmware was not often updated.

The pepperoni was kind of stuck in the grass - so not really salvageable - but the crust was!
