Natural gas stoves used to give me the willies. Then one day the big bottom square heating element in my electric stove started making a weird noise. I opened the oven and looked at it for a minute and the thing exploded! In a million years I wouldn’t have thought it was possible.

Fortunately I didn’t get hit by any shrapnel. And I got a new oven out of it, which was nice. But now I’m afraid of both cooking methods.
