Mine goes like this;

one year, I was charge in baking a turkey. I preheated the oven then when it was for me to put the big bird in, the oven wasn't hot at all. So I cranked up the temp. 5 minutes later it was the same. I thought well, this is an old oven so it must be taking long time to get it preheated. So I put the turkey in. After so many hours, I wanted to baste the bird. WTF it still was cold to touch. I put back in the oven for longer. Few minutes later, I check back, it was still cold. I mean cold. I thought the oven is not working. But that wasn't it. Do you know what it was?

When I cranked up the temp, I put it on broil.

That's why oven wasn't heating up. We had Turkey the next day.

Something I have seen more than once happen in a restaurant:
You toast a hamburger bun and put it on a plate under a heat lamp, you turn around to put the hamburger on just in time to see the waitress taking the empty bun into the dining room to serve it.

Probably the worst meal I ever cooked was my first time making Lasagna. I bought the pre-cooked lasagna noodles, but for some reason they never got soft. The noodles were still hard as a rock and it really made for a crunchy Lasagna. A complete failure to say the least. I don't buy the pre-cooked noodles any more.
