I snagged a pack of pop tarts from my daughter's section of the pantry and headed in to work. I put the pop tarts in the toaster oven and went to sanitize and set up my computer. 5 minutes later and I start smelling smoke.
On the mad dash to the kitchen, I see my pop tarts are literally smouldering like lumps off coal and all the icing was like lava. Then the fire alarms go off... Then security is looking for me... Then I get called from facilities .... Then people showed up due to the alarm that didn't want to be in so early.... Then there is me with a face full of shame and every single person walking in saying either "what's burning?" Or "I'm here because of burnt toast".
What a crappy way to start off the morning... I guess I'll be buying beers for the couple of people who had to come in early to make amends.
Rant over...
;D
Sorry Tom, didn't mean to laugh :-X
That's a lot of chaos for a pop tart!

It is worthy of laughter.... I would have laughed at me also, but how embarrassing....
Hahahaha.
Been there. Tortillas in the toaster oven. At least it was normal business hours.
Just wait until Hannah finds out you jacked her pop tarts.
What flavor Pop-Tarts?
That's wild, your toaster at work must be industrial strength. But we've all been there, like when i learned you can't make cookies from cookie dough in the microwave.
It's much funnier now that I'm reflecting on it, but at the time was a domino of nightmares! lol

What flavor Pop-Tarts?
It's usually the frosting that catches on fire.
I'm guessing blueberry.

The picture would be more accurate if you set fire to it.

My thoughts exactly, but I don't work with many top notch practical jokers. They're good, but need improvement. Lol

Damn. Oh well, it was a shot in the dark.
Fire alarms and Pop Tarts, at least the sprinklers didn't come on ;D
That will teach you to hijack your daughter's pop tarts.
One day she will hijack your beers!

I don't think this daughter will. My oldest sure did though and continues to!
OMG.... They stepped their game up.....
At a closer look.... they even stepped their game up more than I thought!

Bruised banana on top of it! hahahaha
Somebody has got your number.
Salt in the wound ;D
Hahahahaha
Oh snap!
It was almost a terrible morning. I brought in pop-tarts again and saw we had a new toaster at work, so I adjusted it to the "light" setting. I should have stayed to watch it since it was a brand new toaster, but walked out for a minute. Ran back thinking it's probably not even warm yet just to see it well done! Another minute unattended would have resulted in a repeat performance! Whew!

I am totally disappointed in how this turned out.
You need an app for Pop-Tarts ;D ;D
