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.

If you really have a third degree burn, you belong in the ER getting skin graphs.

Grafts*. What the hell are "skin graphs"?

That doesn't defend your previous "logic" at all.

I hope you realize what the hell you're talking about when you say 3rd degree burn.

third degree my ass. a straighteners not that hot. my super expensive rlly hot straightener gave me a huge second degree burn on my hand and if you were wearing clothes it shunt have burned u worse than 1st degree wow. unless for some reason u don't wear clothes while doing ur hair?

First of all: You're dumb for having put your straightener on your bed. It could not only start a fire, but also melt your blankets if they have anything not cotton in them. Second of all: With a third degree burn, you wouldn't be in pain because your skin, muscle, and nerves would be gone. The nerves are destroyed in the area of a third degree burn. You're just a not-so-smart person who sat on their straightener and got a booboo.

I don't care he says dumb shit, he just doesn't need to announce it. He didn't announce it for no reason.

Announcing he's going to say something dumb is still saying something dumb. Since you said you have no problem with his dumb remark, you're okay with the fact he said he's going to say something dumb, so this argument is over.
