Just burnt my lips

[CornishPorsche]

FFS.

My Mum always told me not to lick my knife. My Dad and I have always done it though.

Today I was spreading butter on toast and making a cuppa, but the butter was like ice, so not going far.

I popped the butter knife into the gas flame on the cooker while the kettle boiled. Spread the butter easily with the hot knife, then licked the knife, which was fine until I closed my lips on the end by the handle.

Burning hot.

I am currently typing this while sitting with my lips into a very full cup of cold water, trying to treat it.

Maybe this will cure me of licking knives....

AIBU to ask for your stupid injuries so I am not alone?

I slammed the car door on my leg, somehow forgot to put both legs in the car before closing the door.

Ow. I burnt my lip on a slice of pizza the other night (apt for my username...!) - it was a delicious homemade one and I took a big bite and a piece of molten cheese/pepperoni/tomato sauce slid off and stuck to my lip and chin. The pain was unbelievable!

Once I slammed the car door on my finger- extremely painful- as a result my whole nail eventually fell off.😬
Most of my injuries are because I'm simply quite clumsy.🤦🏼‍♀️😅

Yup visible burn. Aaaaargh.

Ooh yeah, slammed left hand in car door. Broke middle finger and split it open. Doh.

ooooof can you get some ice on it? A lolly would be good

I was on the loo and dropped a piece of loo roll. Bent down to pick it up and concussed myself on the basin! 😂

It could have been worse, it could have been your other lips

Not an injury, but I'd read that filling a sock with oats, and tying it over the tap when running a bath, could sooth ezcema. I thought that putting the oats directly in the bath would make it even more powerful. I essentially got into a bath of porridge and it was like glue, it got into my hair... took days to get all the bits out.

Oh no, a porridge bath!

@hellcarryingahandbag less said about my waxing abilities, the better...

I have aloe vera on it, which is nice to begin with but doesn't last. I have a massive meeting tomorrow where I'm supposed to be laying down the law to a bunch of directors. Fuck sake.

digs in freezer

That looks sore!

I once accidently nailed a plank of wood to my foot through my shoe 🤦‍♀️

Last burn I got on my lip was from eating chicken skin off the chicken straight out of the oven.

The many time(s) before that was from pizza. Cheese burns are awful.

Once, when I was a kid I bit a battered fish cube that had been fried in a chip pan. A load of oil had got inside it and burst out all over the inside of my mouth when I bit it. I had a massive blister on the roof of my mouth for ages.

I've burnt my boobs many times by dropping hot food down my front before it's made it to my mouth.

I'm also missing a nice slice from the side of one of my fingers after a glass smashed while my hand was inside it while washing it.

And the most random was breaking my toe after getting it stuck in the spine of a hardback book when I was walking past a bookcase.

You need to rub bepanthen on your lips for them to heal fast

I had a flaming sambuca on my 18th birthday for the very first (and last time) i didn't realise you had to put the flame out (thick i know) as i went to drink it it went on my lips and chin and burnt me i was left with a horrible scab for weeks

Also went to the chip shop once and was driving back holding the curry sauce inbetween my legs when i had to break suddenly my legs tensed the polystyrene cup cracked and i ended up with hot curry where curry sauce should never go. Oh i did yelp and pulled over in agony trying to rip my jeans off

This is why you should always listen to your mother! Mum always knows best....

Seriously though hope it’s not sore for too long

I once slipped on a steep flight of carpeted stairs at home and shot down at breakneck speed, left leg stuck out in front. Broke my big toe in collision with the wall

I microwaved a frozen jam doughnut. Bit into it and burning jam went all over my bare legs,(summer, shorts). I had to jump in the shower and spray cold water on them.

Ouch! I hope you feel better soon.

If it makes you feel better, I once bent over a pot of boiling water, which had a lid on with one of the little steam vents that creates a jet of steam. The jet went straight through a gap in my (loose weave) jumper into my nipple. The pain was incredible and the blistering impressive!

oo I always lick my knife - I'm waiting for something like this to happen to me as I'm very clumsy.

I hate getting burnt. I've got at least two scars from where I've been burnt in the past - like one on my leg from walking into an oven door.

Hope it feels better soon OP. And smother it in Germolene if it still hurts

@HowGreen - that would have been so scary! Boiling sugar is not clever!

I was welding a car and a pice of molten metals fell down my top burnt my boobs and a hole through my top. I don't get on with welders. Another one I was to short and was fed up with lowering the ramp so got a battery and stod on it whilst welding next thing I no I am flying up in the air ! The battery exploeded when I took off my overall my jeans had disaperad and my legs burnt. I have given up welding. 😂😂😂

Oh I've just remembered another incredibly painful yet supremely embarrassing one. I've not told anyone IRL about this one.

I went to the loo one night after DTD with DH so was totally starkers, I leaned over as I closed the door and thanks to the tiny bathroom I was standing at a weird angle and managed to close my right nipple in the hinge.

Never had pain like it and it started bleeding everywhere. According to DH I made the most horrible scream he's ever heard. I recovered fine thankfully and now live in a house with a much larger bathroom.

I once spilled a hot cup of tea all over my lap and thighs while wearing just my knickers. I burnt my fanjo and couldn’t really wear jeans for ages.
