I just wanted a hot dog The Kitchen Museum?

I came home late from work a few nights ago and hadn't eaten all day. My wife and kids were already in bed so I figured I'd quietly make some stove-top ramen. This photo represents exactly how I found the cooking area.

The next morning my wife asks what time I got home and I mention in our conversation that I made ramen before going to bed. She couldn't believe that I used the stove "when the light was on". I said "Yeah, the light was helpful in seeing what I was doing". She insists I shouldn't have been using the stove and should have known because "the light was on".

I'm baffled. We are still arguing about this days later.

EDIT -- wow, overwhelmed by the response of fellow Redditors! We are... white...not from the southeast US..not children...and I left the stove as clean as it was before I cooked. I asked for clarification from my loving wife -- TRULY we have only ever been angry at each other a handful of times in our 10 year marriage -- and she says "the stove was clean and done for the day and you could have just used the microwave for your ramen". Apparently the light is how stoves go to sleep for the evening?

EDIT 2 -- we are getting a divorce. JUST KIDDING. My wife looked over many of the comments and acknowledges that she was in the wrong and is slightly embarrassed by all of the attention.

I found a poop knife family one day! I do residential HVAC and was doing a job, needed to take a leak so I asked if they would mind if I used the restroom. There on the tank lid, was an old, slightly rusted knife. I took a Pic and sent it to my family laughing my ass off, but no one in my family knew the story. The Pic was lost like 3 phone's ago unfortunately but I couldn't believe I found one in the wild.

You probably found the OP of that story.

There’s one in my bathroom right now, it’s not for me though. My roommate takes monster poops that clog the toilet more times than it doesn’t. I actually was the one to suggest it, and I showed him the story. It’s easier than breaking the snake out every time
