I burned the shit out of my hand today

[JaggedEdge]

Yeah, so I was toasting bread and noticed the air was very hot around the toaster, so I put my hand on the side to see how hot the toaster has gotten. Not the smartest idea, but in my defense I'm not used to a completely metal toaster. Mine and every other one I remember using lately is plasitc on the outside so you don't burn your fucking hand.

I know have like 5 welps on two fingers of my hand because my dumbass wanted to see just how hot it was getting.

I should sue... ;)

[Inferius]

Strange. Didn't know toasters could get that hot.

Was the toast any good?

[chisme]

lol yeah most toasters come nnow with that cool-wall thing lol unlucky mate

[slipknotpsycho]

next time you want to touch something that's metal that's obviously hot, wet your hand first, and barely 'tap' it... it prevents it from actually burning your skin, you'll still feel the heat, and maybe even feel like you burned yourself for a good 20 minutes (depending on how hot it is) but you're not going to be feeling the pain for hours and definately won't actually leave marks... i used to test how out my oil was (when i'd go to fry something, i used to have a bad habbit of putting shit in way before it was hot enough to cook) by wetting my finger down, and 'tapping' it into the oil...

The toast was fine, I was just thinking it was the normal plastic toaster. This thing was all metal with just a little plastic in the front for the nobs. The shittiest peice of equipment I have come across in a while.

I did something similar, I was in my bathroom washing my hands and my light bulb seemed to be putting off alot of heat so I grabbed it to check it out and needless to say I had welts on most of my left hand for about 4-5 days and man did it hurt haha but I didnt have to do a few school essays so it wasnt all bad.

I think the real question here is: why would you want to feel anything that is obviously hot? Shouldn't a person with any small amount of common sense, realize that touching something that is giving off heat, may be even hotter, if I touch it? Ah, interesting quarrel we have come accross.

You get an award for "dumb act of the day." I don't have an actual award for you, or even a picture, but with imagination. :p

I think that its not the toaster thats shitty, its your common sense.

[Skink]

Yeah,,,and don't poke your eye out either...

if you want to get a stuck peice of toast out,,, use a butter knife...

And if a power outlet's dirty, use a fork to clean it? I did once actually watch someone electrocute themselves that way... it wasn't too bad though.

lol, i dunno some people get curious and want to know... i'm just saying when/if that time comes.. wet your hand first to avoid actually doing damage to your hand...

and to the other dude lol.. i never said stick your hand inside the toaster... shit if you actually want to stick your hand inside it, you got problems :p

[RyanTheCaveman]

You know...i thought at first glance that it said "i banged the shit outta my hand today"


See, if i saw you in real life right now...i would say in a low-tone,sarcastic way "Dumbass"
haha karma is a bitch eh?
peace

Now after all the juvenile comments, may I suggest that besides the good advice of using water to cool it down (obviously a bit too late to do now), that you get out some benzocaine based toothache remedy. You know how the dentist numbs your gum with a liquid on a swab before he sticks you with a needle? Well, the stuff he was using is benzocaine. The extra strength stuff is 20% benzocaine - that's 1/5 for those of you who have trouble with math. It is great for burns and bug bites! Just rub a dab on and in a minute or so, no more pain or itch! I keep a little tube of it in my "humongous" purse- it's useful stuff.- Granny :stoned:

[MastaChronic]

when i read the title, i imagined you dousing your hand in gas and lighting it on fire, or an aXe trick gone wrong or something....

[GotWake88]

That's nothing, one time I was laying in bed tokin from homeade onehit, when somehow the bowl part popped out and landed in my belly-button. But since I was baked, I didn't notice/feel it for like 10 seconds. It was burned crisp. I still have a scar from it.

[Nochowderforyou]

This guy I used to know blew himself up in his house after the "genius" decided to make Butane oil, with no ventilation, even after I told him not to. He got 3rd deg. burns on 30% of his body.

So don't feel bad. People have done dumber things out there, but at least you can admit to this silly act. :p Now you know for next time, if something is giving off heat, the object that is doing so, will be even hotter. :D

[Ibu Jari]

Dude, toasters suck. Get a toaster oven. You'll know the shits hot cause you can actually see the elements glowing. And well you can do a lot more with that than a toaster.

I did put some aloe vera lotion on it and that did help with the burn. I love that stuff. It is almost completely gone now. Thanks for the advice skink and granny. :D

And anyone else who didn't make a smart ass comment... Not that I can really get mad at you because I make a lot of those comments too. ;)
