Today, I successfully stopped my hair straightener from falling into a bathtub full of water by grabbing hold of the burning hot plates. FML

Your comment : Better burnt than shocked.

Why would you straighten your hair next to a water-filled bathtub.. YDI for lacking common sense.

In the case of an actual burn, please, no one listen to jesustitts and actually look up correct burn treatments. Thank you.

OUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You shouldn't have been straightening your hair so close to a bath full of water. It's an obvious hazard and a really stupid idea. YDI.

I'd rather be burned than to be shocked!

Sounds more like... Today, I saved my life from an avoidable situation because I wanted to straighten my hair in the tub. FML

Why is there burning hot plates in your bathroom?

Um because hair straighteners are plated? It's not like a curling iron in which it's a rod. It's a straightening iron. Think like the type of iron you use to iron your clothes. That hot strip of metal is called a plate. There are two plates on every hair straightener so that it can do the job properly. By catching the straightener by the plates, Op is saying that op touched the hot, flat, metal plating that lines up the ends of the straightener. Op, fyl.

They're not always metal. Mine has ceramic plates. They heat up much faster. But they also take a hella long time to cool off.
