Today, I was baking cookies and opened the oven door to check on them. Apparently, wearing a gold necklace means the wave of heat will burn your very fair skin. I now have a bright red ring of stars around my neck. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was baking cookies. When I took the tray out of the oven, I closed the door, but it bounced back open and hit me in the back of the knees. That caused me to sit down on the hot oven door. I was only wearing my short bathrobe and no underwear. I really burned my ass and, um… stuff. 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, I burned my left breast with hot oil at work. Everyone's now calling me "toaster strudel" and singing "This girl is on fire" every time we cross paths. FML
Today, after placing it on top of the stove, my hot tray of freshly-baked cookies slipped. I caught it, though. With my bare hand. 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, as I was trying to remove my lunch from the hot oven tray, my finger brushed against the metal for a moment, and I instinctively put it in my mouth. I burnt my tongue, on my finger. I didn't realize that was possible. 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 accepted I can't cook at all. Why? I burned myself cooking popcorn in a microwave oven. I accidentally burst the package open and a scorching kernel flew into my bra. FML
Today, I made dozens of cookies just in time for Christmas. When I went to take out the last pan from the oven, I slipped. In a desperate attempt to catch the pan I grabbed it with my bare hand. My hand is striped like a candy cane. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

West coast redneck. The physics of this story is somewhat dubious if you are using a normal oven. Do not bake cookies in an iron smelter!

Should have stuck with your first thought. 1) There's no reason for you to stick your face that close to the oven while opening it. and 2) Gold doesn't absorb heat at a fast enough rate where one burst of hot air from the oven is going to make it burn your skin no matter how fair. If it was bad enough to get you from the air alone, your whole face would have been burnt. Basically I'm saying that this is most likely false and YDI even if it is by some miracle true.

You aren't supposed to open the oven when you are baking something anyway. That is what an oven light is for..... when you open the oven door you let out all the heat which can sometimes "shock" what you are baking and it can screw it up.

What about when you need to stick toothpicks inside cupcakes and shit to make sure the insides are cooked :I

Yep. Gold is one of the best heat conductors there is. It gets hot very fast.

That's what I was thinking. If anything I would think the necklace would have shielded her from the thermal radiation, creating an inverted star pattern.

It seems like the "Rinnegan" has been passed on to you. Ultra kudos to those who got it! :)

Obviously fake.. you couldn't have at least made it interesting? like your hair caught on fire or a chocolate chip burst from one of the cookies and fused with your skin?
