Today, I got home from the hospital after I burned my hand. Why? I dropped my phone in the pot while stirring hot soup, and I reached in to get it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was texting while making dinner. I went to pour the noodles into the boiling water and I dropped my phone in. Not thinking, I went to retrieve it from the water. I now have a completely useless phone and a useless hand. FML
Today, I was cleaning a pan. I turned the water on, and it was super hot. My reaction was to slam my hand down. On a knife. So, not only do I have a burned hand, but there's also a huge cut on it from the knife. FML
Today, I got burned, all because the toaster scared me while I was holding a pot of boiling water. FML
Today, I burned myself while cooking, so I asked my mom to get the burn cream while I waited in the kitchen. While I was waiting, I absentmindedly set my hand on the hot stove, earning myself a second burn. FML
Today, while cooking, I managed to burn my finger. I quickly turned the tap on and ran my finger under cold water, but apparently someone had just used the hot tap, because boiling water flooded out onto my nicely scalded finger. FML
Today, I dropped my phone in the frying pan whilst cooking my steak. I had to rinse off the oil immediately and clean the phone, then had to eat a cold steak. FML
Today, I was making Cup Noodles for breakfast. After microwaving it for 3 minutes, I carefully grabbed the cup to pour some water out, but my hand gave out and some water spilled on it. Now I have a burned hand and no noodles. FML
Today, after I injured my left wrist from holding my nephew the wrong way for too many hours on New Year's, and found out that it would optimistically take 4-6 weeks to heal, this morning I managed to give myself second degree burns on my right hand from handling a tray I didn't know was hot. So that's three weeks with no hands. FML
Today, I dropped my phone in the parking lot and it landed next to a car tire. As I reached to pick it up, the car backed up and ran over my phone and my hand. Hello, emergency room! FML
Today, I spilt a very hot cup of tea all over a burn I got yesterday from spilling a very hot cup of tea. FML

"k" This is the text message I received that caused the accident that burned my hand for the rest of the week. Sounds like the makings of a no cooking and texting commercial ad

On the bright side, the hot soup may have disinfected the germs the phone picked up when you used it in the bathroom.

Lesson learned! Boy or gal touches hot pan on the oven. Tell yourself! Will I do that one again? Huh? Maybe not! Classic. Multi task while cooking may not be a good thing. Hands free devise would have been good.

didnt your ever take science in school? Im pretty sure they teach that you should never reach into something hot regardless. YDI

How do you know OP was defiant?

You do know you could've used the spoon you were stirring with rite?

I'm going to be a tad more sympathetic here. Yes, ydi it, but I'm almost positive it was a reflex. Op wouldn't consciously stick his hand in hot soup.

I love how everyone is shit talking op as if you've never immediately reached for your phone as soon as it slipped out of your hands... Granted I don't know why you'd be cooking and texting in the same location but still people damn! Oh wait did your brain register that it was soup before your hand went for the jacuzzi? 0-0

Is your phone ok?

What is up with people worrying about the phone not OP? What kind of sick, twisted world do we live in?

Did anyone else think of the Drake and Josh episode when Drake dropped his phone in his soup to see if it would float?

I bet you lied and told the doctors another story. Lol
