Christmas warmth

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was straightening my hair for a Christmas Eve party. I put the hot straightener down on my bed for a second, and zoned out enough to sit squarely on it a few moments later. I now have burns on my ass cheek, and a six-hour party at which I can't even sit down. FML

Seriously? Leaving strainers or any heat appliances on bedding is an invitation for a fire to start! Come on now! Maybe it's better it burned your ass than burned your house down.

You don't have a 3rd degree burn, look it up. 3rd degree burns like everyone here said require serious medical attention and hurt possibly more than anything you can imagine.

shouldn't you be going to the hospital, not the party?

"I should put this device that's 400 degrees hot on my bed sheets which are flammable and forget about it." Also, why did you go to the party and not a hospital? Also, why were you semi-naked around a scolding hot device? Also, don't end your sentences with a preposition.

It's not set in stone not to end a sentence with a preposition.

Not only is Bekll right but she didn't end any sentence with a preposition...

53 - Your first sentence is grammatically incorrect. It doesn't flow. Secondly, why did they go to the party instead? Because they're stoopid. Third, there's no need to use "also" that many times in a post. Finally, OP may have been in pyjamas, which are usually made from a thin material. Alternatively, she could have been wearing shorts for whatever reason. Also, the word is "scalding", not "scolding". Don't correct other people, including the OP, unless you're sure your post is mostly correct and you're not saying anything moronic.

"I should put this device, that's 400 degrees hot, on my flammable bed sheets and forget about it." Secondly, I was using sarcasm to point out OP's stupidity. She obviously doesn't have third degree burns on her butt. Finally, aren't I allowed a typo? I corrected myself and so did the OP, because either the FML changed, or I'm seeing things. I read an "at" at then end of the last sentence in the FML.

You missed my point. You're hypocritical if you're correcting an FML (or any other user) and your post isn't at least above standard, whether the FML was edited or not. I'm sure it was. Please go back and read my longer post.

"Don't end your sentences with a preposition" was a suggestion for the future. I think we can both agree most prepositions are useless when located at the end of sentences. I'm not correcting the FML with a red pen. Geez, what is up with you and trying to prove me wrong? I don't feel you are a troll. I like debating but I don't go around answering sarcastic remarks in comments on the internet. At least not most of the time.

Deal with it, or ignore it. Your choice.

Excusing yourself to make dumbass comments doesn't make you a not-dumbass person. If anything it makes you more because you're just recognizing you are one.

I feel bad for you...that actually happened to me once. I was in a hurry to get ready, and sat on it after I turned it off. My boyfriend still makes fun of my "Racing stripes." Yeah...it left scars.

- i highly doubt it was a 3rd degree burn because she would have been admitted to the hospital ect .. my dads friends son who was just 2 years old got his hand stuck in a curling iron and had a 3rd degree burn , they had to replace his skin on his arm but anyways YDI OP for being such a drama queen and YDI for putting it on the bed!

Why would you ever put an item you claim is hot enough to give you a third degree burn on a bed for "a few moments"? If you had third degree burns you would be in a medical facility seeking treatment, not complaining about your stupidity and inability to sit at a party.
