This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was a jerk for asking his neighbor "Katie" to factor him in for her daily homemade meal regimen. Apparently he lost one of his part-time gigs and not being able to afford takeout, figured this was the next best bet. My dude, begging your neighbor for cheap homemade meals is not the way to handle business. Sounds like she was offended, and can you really blame her?

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the biggest mistakes we'd all do well to avoid making while in the kitchen baking/cooking. Things like microwaving your salad, trying to catch a falling knife, and using ketchup as pasta sauce are all prime examples of big no no's in the kitchen. 

We're not awesome cooks ourselves, but we know how to not accidentally turn a pasta dinner into a bomb. The same can't be said for some of these folks who couldn't stand the heat and should therefore remove themselves from the kitchen. For more cooking related stuff, here's Gordon Ramsey making fun of peoples mediocre cooking.

Is offending someone's grandma worse than eating soup the noxious soup she made out of rotten chicken, soy sauce and boiled eggs? For some people it was. It's actually amazing what kind of food atrocities some people will put themselves through to save face. It's harrowing, in a gross sort of way.

We're pretty sure these people know what they're getting themselves into when they send pictures of food to Gordon Ramsay, a celebrity chef known for having high standards and being mean. Some even troll him by making food that's extra terrible, just to see what he'll say. That said we're in no place to judge, we don't even eat half as well as some of these attempts.

Nobody expects you to be a great cook right off the bat. But there is a general understanding that you shouldn't be so bad that you literally explode your kitchen. Here are some embarrassing failures that probably ended in a call for fast food or the hospital.

Twitter user @mccanner, went ahead and challenged an incendiary tweet claiming that millennials are the worst generation of cooks known to this world yet. She broke out the Google search research skills with a fiery passion. It seems like she's presented a solid case for why this dumb survey about millennials is in fact dumb.

For the past few years, people have made a point of tweeting pictures of the food they made at Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay. Pretty typically, Gordon Ramsay responds with no-nonsense brutality. Some of these folks better be trolling, cause these meals are worth roasting. For more Gordon Ramsay food criticism, check these out.

Going into this, you'd think the worst the can come out of it is that the store finds out that you're trying to take advantage of them. But no, it can get much worse. That said, you'd think it would dawn on this guy *a little* earlier that it might look *a little* strange to be buying this many pressure cookers. To see what a stupid person can do with a pressure cooker in the kitchen, among other things, here's some cooking fails

Ramen's cultivated a widespread reputation for being agreeably cheap. It effortlessly fits into an airtight budget, and can pull through in a clutch way if you're running on the fumes of last paycheck, till the next one comes your way. From your choice to throw down on some ramen, you're presented with an array of options to spice the dish up with variety. You can throw enough sh*t in there to (almost) forget you're eating Ramen, in the first place! 

Did some of these people just try to cook lava or what?! To try your hand at anything in the kitchen is to set yourself up for a monumental, potentially smoky failure.
