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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

"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

I'm wondering y u did not use the spoon to get the phone out instead of burning ur hand. Only an idiot uses their phone around liquids. YDI

In all fairness it was probably a reflex reaction, but YDI for using your phone whilst heating soup.

I would laugh at you, but I'm the person who reached into the sink to unclog it right after straining a boiling pot of spaghetti...

What a dumb ass! I can understand you wanted to get your phone out before any damaged happened, but didn't you think you that dipping your hand in a hot pot would burn you?

Not necesarily a YDI. The shock of dropping a phone into soup obviously panicked OP. The adrenaline of the moment may have triggered OP's instinct to rescue the phone without considering the risks involved. Not to mention other possible factors such as lack of sleep.

Except DocBastard is in trauma surgery. He'd be pretty much destroying the ER doctors if OP came anywhere near him.

What the hell were you doing that was so important you couldn't put your phone down for five minutes? YDI.
