I was at the cafeteria at ODU the other week, using the microwave. I had this little Denty Moore-90 second-meal thingy. There was another gentleman occupying the microwave next to me to heat up some mac n cheese.
Now, as most of you know, with these little microwave dinners you have to cut a slit in the plastic. (These Denty Moore joints have some hard ass industrial white covers though, not the clear film that Banquet dinners have.) I grabbed a plastic knife and attemtped to do just that, but the plasticware the University offered was bullshit. The knife kept bending. I tried to poke holes with a fork instead, but got the same results. I'm standing there trying to figure out how I'm going to make the slit without looking like an ass.
I'm taking entirely too long executing this seemingly simple task. I swear I can sense the guy next to me was thinking 'Look at this idiot....ha ha'. I finally pull a pen out and make the slit. As I put my tray in, I glance over at the guy and I catch him tucking away a smile while staring into his microwave. Smug mufucka.
As soon as his microwave *beep*s, he opens the door, and in one motion grabs the tray and drops it. "Fuck!" and the sucking of teeth follow immediately. He shakes the burning sensation away from his fingertips, and a drip drop of cheeses passes my face. I feel the heat of it as it flies by my nose.
Ha! Dumb ass.....How the mighty have fallen.

I love the way you write... just as much as what you write about. It takes actual talent to make the microwaving of a frozen meal entertaining. :)
