Today, I found out that the built in lighter in my car does NOT in fact glow red when hot. I now have circles burned into my finger. FML

Car lighters have a series of circles in the middle or at least mine does. I think that's where the multiple circles come from.

Well, I did the same once. Of course I was maybe 10. Doing it as an adult is rather more stupid. But, I still have sympathy as I remember how much it hurt!

Haha, I was going to say, "I wish I knew what #2 had said" -- but I think I can get the gist of it from the replies. :P

I'm thinking 2s comment went a little like this: "I'm number two, now suck my dick."

its black hot the first time, push it again, it becomes Red. At least mine does, its still pretty hot both ways. As I touched it for a fraction of a second when it was black, it just turned my very top skin layer very dry and it peeled off with ease. when I did it?? Never burned myself to where I felt pain..you guys..you guys must gave held it there too long or put too much pressure onto it. Anyways, once I realized it was not red hot like in the movies, I pushed it again. When it popped back up it was Red, Smoking, Seemed Rather scary. I would not touch it Then..a warning to all of you who got burned and would think, well I wonder how hot is out now??

My thing is, chances are if OP was actually using one of the car lighters, they wanted a cigarette. Why not test it using the cigarette instead of their finger?

Regardless, why someone would stick it on their body is beyond me.

After doing it for years and having the colour as an indication, when it's black it could be malfunctioning. You feel slight heat but it's not that hot, and you're not really going to place close enough to feel a lot of heat when you're driving.

Probably people who drive, smoke, and easily lose lighters.

most new cars don't even have the actual lighters(nine just has a cap over it for plugs) or ashtrays.

After searching my car, i found three lighters. If you smoke in your car, you will lose the lighter

You turned it on, you would expect it to be hot, wouldn't you? Instead of putting your entire finger in there maybe feel if there's heat first? YDI.

I've done that. My friend had apparently heated it up and set it down after lighting her cigarette (we were at the park and she forgot her lighter). I picked it up to put it back and burnt my finger.
