Today, I got home from the hospital after I burned my hand. Why? I dropped my phone in the pot while stirring hot soup, and I reached in to get it. FML

Today, I was texting while making dinner. I went to pour the noodles into the boiling water and I dropped my phone in. Not thinking, I went to retrieve it from the water. I now have a completely useless phone and a useless hand. FML

Today, I was cleaning a pan. I turned the water on, and it was super hot. My reaction was to slam my hand down. On a knife. So, not only do I have a burned hand, but there's also a huge cut on it from the knife. FML

Today, I got burned, all because the toaster scared me while I was holding a pot of boiling water. 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, 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 dropped my phone in the frying pan whilst cooking my steak. I had to rinse off the oil immediately and clean the phone, then had to eat a cold steak. FML

Today, I was making Cup Noodles for breakfast. After microwaving it for 3 minutes, I carefully grabbed the cup to pour some water out, but my hand gave out and some water spilled on it. Now I have a burned hand and no noodles. FML

Today, I dropped my phone in the parking lot and it landed next to a car tire. As I reached to pick it up, the car backed up and ran over my phone and my hand. Hello, emergency room! FML

Today, while grabbing a husk of corn out of the boiling hot pot, I splashed hot water on my neck, dropped the corn on my injured toe, and cut myself on the counters, all while my family laughed at my pain. FML

"k" This is the text message I received that caused the accident that burned my hand for the rest of the week. Sounds like the makings of a no cooking and texting commercial ad

14- Way to make fun of a pretty sad commercial that has to do with people losing a loved one.

Aw, don't worry OP. Don't beat yourself up over it. This sort of thing happens all the time. Wait, what the **** am I saying? No it doesn't! This kind of thing only happens to morons with the IQ of parsley! Maybe you should limit yourself to activities that don't require anything hot, sharp, or otherwise dangerous.

Or anything that involves family. OP is one hit busy mess LMFAO

Guys, what's with all the harsh comments? For all we know, Op could have had a quick instinct or reflex to automatically get it. Then again....... It wouldn't have happened if Op would just put the damn phone down. So YDI for using your phone.

Who uses a phone while cooking over hot soup? I'd be scared as hell I'd drop mine in!

I use mine for new recipes but tend to leave it on a nearby counter so that it doesn't get injured.

Texting while cooking is never a good idea.

If it was an iPhone, you did the right thing sacrificing your body to try to save it. If it was anything else, you're a dummy for hurting yourself instead of recognizing an opportuinity to upgrade your life to an iPhone :D

Droid is better. Not only would it have made the soup taste better but it would have healed the hand that saved it. Droid does.

I agree with you on this. I'd normally vote "ydi" on things like this, but if I dropped my iPhone in a hot pan, I'd probably do the same thing, or flip the pan over.
