Today, I was cooking and I burned my thumb. I had some first-aid burn spray, so I sprayed it on. I went outside to smoke a cigarette, and when I flicked my lighter, my thumb went up in flames. Turns out that first-aid burn spray is flammable. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was refilling my lighter. Afterwards, I gave it a test light. I must've spilled some fluid because my thumb caught on fire. FML
Today, I sliced a deep gash into my thumb while carving up bagels. After putting a plaster on, I returned to my room to relax, where I lit a candle. The flame from my new lighter shot up, and set fire to the plaster on my thumb. Now I have a cut AND several burns. 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, 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, 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 at a fire roasting marshmallows. When mine caught on fire, I pulled it back so I could blow out the flames. It flew off the stick, and, still flaming, landed on my face. FML
Today, I accidentally dropped my cigarette down my shirt. There are now two unsightly, painful burns right in the center of my chest. FML
Today, I chuckled at a "No Smoking" sign as I lit my cigarette. I bent my head down to light it and somehow managed to light my hair on fire. FML
Today, I burned my nose. How? I tried sniffing a lit candle. FML
Today, due to the dry weather, my nose became dry and began to bleed so I plugged it with toilet paper and went about my business. Forgetting about it, I later went out to smoke a cigarette. Not paying attention, I lit the toilet paper on fire as well. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Scorched Earth and scorched skin are not the same comrade.

Shoulda thought about that when you lit your first cigarette.

Don't care if you want to kill yourself but all these chemicals that leak into our drinking water from cigarette butts is unbelievably dangerous.

How ironic.

It's amazing how many burn treatments are flammable. I think it's a conspiracy on the part of the companies that make them.

It's supposed to be like the bitter nail polish that you use to get yourself to stop biting your nails. 'Sure this will treat your burn, but if you get near fire again, it's going to set your ass on fire'.

The clue is in the word SPRAY! All aerosols are flammable, that's how they are able to be sprayed. Next time use a burn cream...

Not every spray bottle is an aerosol one, but most first aid sprays (especially antiseptic ones) contain some form of alcohol.

How does this prove smoking is harmful?

Another reason in hydrogen cyanide. That stuff is used for lethal injections, and every time you smoke, you're breathing it.

This same comment is in EVERY smoking FML. We get it already, this is about his SPRAY, not the cigarettes.

It's true. My best friend was savaged by a pack of ravaging tobacco pipes once.

that's why you use good ol cold water
TXjuggalo972 6
Cold water dosent stop the burning though
max_bleu 2
Yea... Kinda does. Stops it from spreading and from it getting worse.
RedDevel96 5
fun fact: Cold water can make a burn worse than it is, warm water is better for burns.

And that is why you don't smoke... :p

Well, you could have prevented it if you read the label...

True that.

I'll bet that fixed the cooking burn -- fried it right off!
