Yep. The first time because "Hey, I read it. I'm good!" The second time because "Hey, I just needed to check up on something." The fifth time because "Goddammit what is wrong with me, I have 100% processed the information this time." The tenth time because I have given up on all hope of anything edible

To me throwing away the box falls into the cleaning up phase, which i have to do when I'm done eating anyway

I recycle the box, but otherwise, yeah. I have way more faith in my ability to remember the instructions than the evidence would suggest.

I do. I mean, its not like I'm going to fuck up "add 2 cups of water, boil for 5 minutes, drain, add seasoning packet" right?

Wait, shit, was it "boil for 2 minutes"? OK cool, 5 minutes.

Boil 5 minutes then...... add milk? Oh, no milk.... cool

I have learned, but yes I've definitely done this. Probably at least once last month. And regardless, I'm still looking at it 15 times for 4 steps of instructions. And I like to cook actual recipes sometimes too.

In fact, I think this is the most I've related to something posted here.

For me, this happens with the freezer rather than trash/recycling. Take food out, put box back in freezer, realize I forgot temp, grab box, etc
