What happens if you leave urine in the microwave too long? Just ask this lady in Colorado who found out in a very unfortunate way…

A woman was cited by Aurora police for allegedly causing damage to a 7-Eleven microwave by heating up pee, leading to an explosion!

The incident occurred when the woman reportedly placed the pee into a microwave at the 7-Eleven located at 3200 Chambers Rd. The microwave exploded which prompted the store clerk to contact the authorities.

According to the Aurora Police Department’s report, the woman was found at a nearby clinic, waiting for a physical and urinalysis for a prospective job. It appears that she attempted to heat the urine sample to body temperature, which is required for accurate drug testing.

The police report noted that when questioned, the woman claimed she didn’t understand the problem, and said that it wasn’t real urine. The officer also reminded her that the explosion occurred in a place where people prepare their food, which led to her being cited for damaging property. The microwave was valued at $500.
