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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

Every doctor in that hospital: *Face palm*

"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

Bet your phone was still broken eh?

24- at least it tasted delicious.

Sure OP was holding a spoon, but it's a reaction to use your hand. Don't ask me how I know it's a spoon, you don't stir soup with a fork.

29- Do not try to justify it. OP is a moron.
drunkandfml 11
That's the secret ingredient to OP's famous soup!

Well.... Did you at least get it?

Where do you want to live them 13?

If every doctor would face palm every time, while facing such stupidity, there wouldn't be much left of their face.

I haven't had lunch yet. This FML makes me want soup.

#93 - I think that's what happened to DocBastard, and thus the reason he doesn't have a picture of himself in the profile. Too many face palms at work.

Must have been one important text...

OP has an IQ lower then 20.

You most certainly deserve that
lopsop 12
Well I mean it is an iPhone and op was most likely laughing at FML's when op dropped it.

What I don't get is instead of burning his/her hand why didn't they just scoop it out
uberdubers 3
108 - I think it's a natural reaction to use your hand, plus OP probably wanted to get it out as fast as possible, and phone fishing with a spoon would probably take way to long

Why would you reach in the pot knowing that there is hot soup that you're stirring?
RocketNinjaFish 12
sometimes people don't think before they act. the OP may have been distracted and forgot it was hot.

3- Why didn't YOU?
MikeonFML 17
Well if the phone was sinking fast I could understand trying to save it right away
BunchieRules 31
78 - I think the phone would have been instantly beyond saving, considering the pot was boiling. I can understand quickly reacting to accidently submerging a phone, but this was a bit of a stretch.
sadistmonkey 19
It's probably a reflex. You drop your phone and you instantly reach down to catch it. Perhaps the OP wasn't too smart using his phone while cooking but logic doesn't really apply to reflexes since they happen faster than you can think.

Would you like some crackers with that phone?
ohSNAPyall 27
Why? The phone comes with chips installed.

Have you ever heard the saying?! "No texting and cooking." But you most definitely deserved it.
CaptTeemo 10
Never heard of it. This will probably be the only time too
soccergurrll 8
Ive heard no texting and DRIVING but texting and cooking... Never. I agree w/ #17

5- I was unaware that this phrase existed. Besides that, who says she was texting? I know I use my phone to look up recipes.

17- I didn't know Teemo had an account for FML :P
iiAntheA17 7
Sorry guys. Just trying to joke (: I'm sorry.

114 - I'm sorry that you're sorry. Sorry.

You got to risk it to get the biscuit, or in this case the phone.
alexup24 13
You gotta risk your own, to get the phone?

Clearly you learned that multi-tasking is not Your forte. Could've been worse, you could've been driving...

Instead of stone soup, it's phone soup! No? Ok I'll shut up now.
