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.

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. 

Ever stood at your front door, clicking the button on your car keys, trying to get into your house? And you just stand there, wondering, "what's wrong with this thing?" Then you probably understand what's going on here. There are probably hundreds of things we do without thinking, daily habits that no longer require any thought. But sometimes our brain wires get crossed (no, that's not the technical term for it), and we continue to look for our phone when it's in our hands (I'd be surprised if you haven't done that before). Here are 31 hilarious and relatable stories of the dumbest things Redditors have done without thinking. Don't get any ideas. 

Does every good looking thing have to be fake? Yes, yes it does. Your home cooking will never be as appetizing as shoe polish and motor oil. Now pour yourself a glass of soap and read up.
