Yreka, why didn't your mom just grab your hand and smack it? I wouldn't have let one of my kids burn him or herself like that, or did she see it after you did it?
|
@californiaswimmergirl - Oh wow. o.o;; That's really scary especially since you didn't realize it!
I've gotten burned a few times from hot glue gun glue (everytime I use it I seem to somehow drip a little bit on myself!) However, for a more serious burn, I only got burned once. One time when I was younger, my grandma was ironing clothes and I was stupidly playing near her even though she had just told me to be careful. I think I was describing something to another family member in the room and so I swung out my right hand. It hit the hot iron. I screamed and everything after that was a blur pretty much. They rushed me out of the room and put my hand under cold water and used ice on it. Someone went outside and brought back a bit of aloe from one of the aloe plants we have and applied the sticky stuff onto the burn as well since that supposedly helps burns. That stuff smells bad though. x.x;; Anyways, I still have the scar on my hand to this day. The burn is in a line though which is kind of weird. I thought it would be more planar less linear considering it was an iron. XD |

*shrugs* I didn't get burned or anything so I'm fine. |
LOL! I got burned trying to play with fire. No kidding. Cause you know in TV, they would put out the fire simply by touching it. And so I tried and did it... but instead I got burned. It wasn't serious though. But still, TV should be banned. XD;

@californiaswimmergirl - It's good that you didn't get burned. I think that even so however, it's still a bit scary to think about what could've happened. x.x;;

True... I still have the sweatshirt actually... My mom told me to through it out but I wanted to keep it as a suvenior or something... (I'm a pack rat...) I never wore it though... |
Hahaha...oooh, boy. XD;;;
I have this recurring ream about being a certain anime character. VERY realistic dream. I mean, EXTREMELY realistic. In the dream, I genuinely have no feeling in his/"my" prosthetic right arm or left leg. In real life, all of my limbs are very much real. Well...one morning, I was baking a birthday cake for two of my friends immediately after having that dream. Now, these friends have nicknames FROM that series, as do I. I was thinking COMPLETELY in-character from being half asleep. So when I went to take the pan out, I kinda didn't notice that I could feel my hand... Until about 5 seconds after I had grabbed the pan with my BARE HAND. I honestly thought I wasn't going to feel it...or rather, I just didn't think for a second that I WAS going to. I dropped the pan, it bounced off my left wrist, and by SOME MIRACLE it landed right-side up, leaving the cake unharmed. But I actually DID have no feeling in my right hand for a week (YAY, IRONY!), and my left wrist looked like I had attempted suicide. I was wearing long sleeves/bracelets to cover it up until it went away, because I REALLY didn't want people getting the wrong idea. XD; I've also gotten very small third-degree burns on various occasions - I weld. And i you leave just the tiniest bit of skin exposed while welding...be prepared for pain. Also, never, ever, ever, ever, EVER wear synthetic materials - they melt and stick to your skin as opposed to burning away. Which is not fun. |
Hehe, I'd keep something like that so I could show friends later on and be like, "This is proof that it happened!" XD
I'm a pack rat too, so even more so I'd probably keep such a momento. EDIT: @fullmetal - o.o! Wow, that's an amazing story! I've had dreams where I wasn't sure what was reality, but never anything like that! That must've really sucked though. Ouch. x.x |
On my first birthday, my parents threw a birthday party at McDonalds for me. They put a cake in front of me and lit the candle. Somehow, in the midst of getting the camera ready and gathering my cousins, nobody saw this little 1 year old girl stare at the candle flame in fascination and stick her finger into the flame.
Yeah, I've always been a pyro, lover of fire~ |
There was this once incident when I was younger involving the stove. We have coil burners on our stove. When they are hot they get red and when they start to cool down they turn back to black, even if they're still hot.
So my mom was on the phone and I just came downstairs from doing something and for some reason ended up putting my hand down on one of the burners, not knowing that it was still hot. It burned across every one of my fingers... I totally flipped out, I was quite young at the time and my mom was trying to still talk to this person on the phone and calm me down at the same time. I was in shock since I wasn't expecting it at all. It was a really scary incident for me... |
i think maybe...2 or 3 times I've done it. I think I burnt my finger making a grilled cheese sandwhich once when I was kinda little.
And also when I was in the shower and the water was on full blast AND WAYYYYY TOO HOT. Another time on a Quesedilla maker and once more rescently when I was getting chicken out of the oven. My finger slipped off the oven pad thing and I burnt my finger >< I also tend to burn the roof of my mouth quite often... |
My hand must have slipped the one time i was pulling something from the oven. Next thing I knew was pain and howling. I hit one of the oven racks with the meat of my palm just under my thumb.
I'm also an uber klutz, and have nearly burned the house down (on accident) a few times :lol: |
I've burned my thumb a couple of times on my flat iron. Ouch. D: Thats about it though.
xD |
I've only burned myself with a flat iron. xD I burn my fingers a lot and my ears get all peely and red from my hot hair hitting them. o__o |
I've been burned before, but never by fire. I mostly get burned in my school's cafeteria. Like a few months ago. I was feeling kinda sick-ish and just wanted some soup to eat. Lucky for me, they had made chicken noodle soup. The chicken chunks in the soup were really really big so when I poured the soup from the ladle, the liquid came out, then the chicken chunk fell, causing the scolding liquid to over-flow and run across my hand. It stung for about half an hour and a little scar was left in it's place.
Then just 2 weeks ago, I was working in the cafeteria and one of the guys brought out a pan of fresh food. As he was waiting for someone else to make room for it, he bumped into me and the pan hit my elbow. It was only for a split second but the scar is just now starting to heal. |
I burn myself quite often. Especially when pouring soup at work..
But by far, my worse burn is the one on my leg. You see, one night I was playing with a little tube of nail glue/super glue (its actually the same thing...) and I noticed this little cap on the bottom of the tub. Now it was late at night and I wasn't exactly thinking like a normally functioning human being. So my brain goes, "Hmm.. What does this do?" And I proceeded to twist the little knob. The next thing I know glue is pouring out of the tub and the cap is in my hand. No big deal I think for maybe a second. Then I feel this horrible burning on my leg. I could not get my jeans off fast enough. I practically flew out of my room and into the bathroom across the hall and threw my leg into the sink where I ran water over it. At the time, I don't think I realized how bad it actually looked but I do think I put a bandaid on it and then put on my favorite silky pajama and when to bed. In the morning I showed my mom, who freaked out! She was so mad that I didn't tell her when it happened. But I honestly hadn't thought it was a big deal. Luckily I had a doctor's appointment that day so when we went I showed him my leg (which looked even worse, since it was now two inch long gouges in my leg) and it turns out it was a 2nd degree chemical burn. It was the nastiest thing I ever saw, healing with disgusting colors (I kid you not. It was green and purple at one point really gross) and I had to put burn cream on it the whole time and keep it covered up for a good bit of the time. |
Hm... I remember hanging out with this weird kid when I was in elementary school. Once we sprayed on this cream on our hand and lit it on fire. I think it was hair mousse. o__o It didn't burn for the first few seconds, but that was because the mousse was on fire. XD
Soo, yeah, that was pretty dumb. |

That reminds me... One of my friends that doesn't go on here anymore told me she once almost burned her house down because she has a laundry basket in her room. And she threw a dirty shirt towards it but instead it landed on her lamp. She didn't care because she told herself she'd just put it in the laundry basket later. Well, the lamp was on and it set teh shirt on fire. Her motehr noticed and they eventually put it out. No one got hurt but I felt like adding taht in. |
I've never been burned but my brother was one time. My mom picked up this pot of boiling water off of the stove and she was talking to my dad and not paying attention. My brother walked up behind her right as she was moving it toward the counter. He had this huge burn down his arm. It was like a big oval. She took him to the doctors and got some cream for it but she felt horrible about it like forever.

i've got some burnt mark from back then..
i was frying a steak (as far as i remember) with my bro. then somehow the oil spilt out and hit my face, JUST under the eyes... i can't remember whether my brother get any.. i cried like hell, so then my mum puts colgate so that it won't feel so hot X'D |
Lets see...burned....well recently my brother and I were cooking hash brown patties in oil...he got retarded and while I was standing next to him, threw the patty into the oil. It splashed up all over my leg and left tear shaped scars all on one side.
The worst burn I ever got was when I was really little though, it was on the forth of July back when I was 4-5 sparklers were lead based back then and didn't burn cold like they do now. I accidentally dropped the sparkler on my foot and it burned me really bad; I had to be rushed to the hospital and had gauze on my foot for almost 2 months after. I have a large scar on my foot from the incident and a severe fear of all things involving fire. |
I pretty much get burned every time I work. Well if I'm behind he stand that is. Poppers are evil things. It'd be a lot worse if I had to actually clean the popper though.

Once, I was really ill, so my grandfather heated up water to give to me. It was really hot, and I sat in bed with it. I got up, and the hot water cascaded down my legs. I got first-degree burns, but my grandparents were doctors, so I just stayed at home.
;___________; It hurt. |

Just like when I stapled my finger to the wall of my room when I was 5. She had seen me try to do it before for some reason, stopped me, and I did it anyways the next day. |
I was using my rents counter top grill (like a george forman only an off brand). You have to plug it in and turn it on high for 10 minutes before you can cook on it so when you put food on it dosn't take so long.
Well, after the warm up time I went to put my chicken on it but I hadn't pulled it out from under the upper cabinets far enough so I grabbed what I thought was the legs to pull it out some more. Well, its got this one ring, about 3mm high, running around the outside base of it that gets hot. Why? I have no idea. Its a safety hazard if you ask me. >.< But anyway, I touched this piece with my thumb and burned the hell out of it. It looked like I had a wart on my finger for about 3 weeks. >.< The worst part was my rents kept making fun of me about it. Even to this day (at least 6 months latter) they still tell me to "be careful" in that chiding tone when I use the grill. [edit] I gots another one! When I was real little (maybe like 5 or 6) my mum was cooking in the kitchen. She'd just turned the stove off so it was still uber hot. She'd told me a dozen times before that the stove was hot and I should never touch it but I was a dumb kid. :D So while her back was turned I reached up and put my hand on the stove. I screamed bloody murder and mum twisted around to see me on my butt cradling my hand (no serious burns. only emotional scaring XD). She just kinda stood there for a sec and then said "see. I told you" then grabbed a wash cloth and cleaned me up. Even to this day, though, people tell my mum how mean she was not to coddle me about hurting myself. I think thats dumb cuse she DID tell me a million times and its not like she didn't clean me up. She just chastised me for doing it instead of boobing all over me. |
