A man who tried to dry his underpants and socks in the microwave accidentally set fire to his flat, the fire service have said.

Firefighters were called to the flat on Market Street in Weymouth at about 22:45 BST on Sunday after reports of a fire alarm ringing.

The man was led to safety by other people living in the block of flats.

The fire in the second floor flat was extinguished quickly, a spokesman for Dorset Fire Service said.

    Microwaves are evil. A microwave is to blame for a large part of my weight gain.

    We should ban them outright.

    I heard a similar story about an elderly woman trying to dry off her cat after giving it a bath.

    Supposedly this took place when microwaves first came out though.

    A microwave is not a clothes dryer.

    But, surely everyone knows that microwaving your underwear takes all the vitamins and minerals out of them..... and if you try to water your plant with microwaved underwear, it will be dead in a week.....

    Wait, I think I'm in the wrong thread!

    Newfangled stuff, don't hold much with none of 'em..

    true.
    almost everyone who has ever gotten cancer wore both socks and underwear.....

    this explains why the obviously healthy natural movement people wear sandals and go commando.

    Might as well sew our mouths shut while you're in the process.

    I'll get my nutrients through an IV drip.

    sick people get IV drips... therefore IVs cause people to get sick.

    the evidence is clear and overwhelming.
