Today, I learned that just because the actual part of the pan that does touch the stove isn't hot doesn't mean that the handle won't give you third degree burns, a broken nose from passing out from the pain, and an expensive trip to the emergency room. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 went to kiss my girlfriend on the neck while she was cooking on the stove. Apparently I scared her and now I have a nice burn mark on my head from the hot frying pan she hit me with. FML
Today, I got burned, all because the toaster scared me while I was holding a pot of boiling water. 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 was in a hurry to get something out of the oven, so I quickly grabbed my roommate's only oven mitt and grabbed the pan in the oven. It didn't take long to figure out there was a hole in it when my thumb hit the hot pan. FML
Today, I learned the hard way that my oven mitt has a hole. Time to get a new one, whenever my finger stops burning. FML
Today, I was cooking. I leaned over the stove to preheat the oven, and burned my nipple on a pot of boiling water. I also have a teething son who is breastfeeding. FML
Today, my kitchen is trying to kill me. So far, I've hit my head three times on cupboards that opened themselves, cut open my hand on the microwave door when it slammed shut, and burned my cheek with the "heat-proof" oven mitt when I pushed the hair off my face. 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
Today, I managed to spill piping hot oil all over my kitchen floor, thinking it was too hot to clean right then and there I left it for a few hours to cool. I forgot about it, and slipped over in it bashing my head into my cupboard handle. FML

Looks like that pan was too hot to handle!

Sounds like your cooking didn't exactly pan out.

Pretty sure you're on the wrong FML.

Then that must be one very old pan. I thought they were more careful about it now a days.

Time for a new pan OP. It happened to me once, that the handle of a really old pan got too hot I almost dropped the pan. Sorry you got hurt so badly, wear mittens or be more careful next time.

How old was that pan? 50 years? YDI . Everybody knows a pan handle with or without rubber will still get hot. Common sense.

Only if you hold it close to the base... Which would be kind of dumb.

Metal handle I'm guessing? Heat conducting bitch.

You passed out from the pain of a hot handle. Man up! And yes I have been burned before.

But was it a 3rd degree burn?

Congratulations, you've been burned. So ******* what? Where does it say OP is a man?

So what if it was a third degree burn? I got third degree burns on both of my hands and I was only 2 1/2 years old!! I didn't pass out, I screamed a lot. And cried. I fell in a pile of embers which most people know is in fact hotter than the flames.

I almost lost three fingers. Some people claim my hands are smoother than normal hands. It's because of the butt skin, when you get third degree burns you get skin grafts and butt skin is usually the skin to use as well as thigh skin. Good luck future butt hand!

People have different levels of pain tolerance, for your information.

Seriously, shut up. You have at least 4 obnoxious comments that include making fun of people's spelling mistakes and trying to act like some kind of bad ass hero because you burned you hand. Nobody cares. Your FML was not selected. This isn't about you. Get a life.

I'm incredibly glad that where I live, a trip to the emergency room never costs me a cent.

Take a picture.... You'll want to remember what stupid looks like

I think you meant " just because you don't THINK its hot". Apparently, is was hot. That's how you got burned . It's pretty difficult to get 3rd degree burns from a pan that actually isn't hot.

When I cook the handle of my pan is never hot. Your pans weird it should have something around the handle for that not to happen. (Like rubber or something) That or your pan is cheap as hell.

Or...it's cast iron, or copper...both very expensive pans.

Well then basically you just really wasted your money on that.
