Don't attempt to pick up a thin metal candle holder immediately after it's just burned out!

Duh!


Dont touch a piece of steel that you have just finished cutting with a cutting torch. especially when its still cherry red.


Don't lay your hand on a woodstove running at 700 degrees Farenheit

Just sayin'


Make sure you turned the correct burner on on your electric range.

especially if its one of those fancy glass top ones, that just has circles where the heat is and makes a great place to put stuff cause it doesnt get hot when the other burners are on and you are mixing stuff in plastic bowls.


Never throw your woman on top of the electric flat surface range to get your freak on after finishing the cooking of supper. Just sayin'.

Don't stick metal knitting needles into in-use toasters to see what happens. It is also not especially advisable to eat the toast afterwards.

Do not be so worried about the noise it will make when the metal ring stand falls to the lab bench that, despite the fact that you just spent ten minutes running a flame through the ring, you reflexively grab it to stop that noise from happening. That noise will still happen and you will add a few more noises to it. The palm of your hand will blister and you will spend a substantial part of the remainder of the day running cold water over it again and again. You will not have a scar but it will hurt for about two days and leave a mark that lasts a few weeks.

This lesson brought to you by the worst injury my high school chemistry teacher ever had to report in her lab. I am sure I became a part of the safety lecture for the next year, because this point was previously considered way too obvious to mention.

Don't grab the stove grill to wash off that junk that spilled on it right after turning off the flame. Even though there's no more blue fire where the pot used to be, the burner will still do just that to your fingers. And that gunk on it will still harden and need to soak in the sink overnight.


Make sure there is nothing in the oven before using the self cleaning function.

Important safety tip.

Don't forget you're not 20 anymore and it's been years since you've used a woodburning stove when you're relying on your callouses to protect you from something hot.


There is no purpose in writting "DANGER: HOT SURFACE" in brail on the top of my stove.

Don't grab the broiler pan with your bare hands.


Note to self: Just because you're insane doesn't mean everyone else is, or at least they're not insane in the same way. That's why they fell through the magic rainbow bridge that you could see and feel just fine. Next time, test your friends' reality aversion somewhere other than the Grand Canyon.

P.S. Resurrect friends, first, when you have the time.

Or in my case, a baking sheet.


Do a pressure check before attempting to let one sneak out at work. And MAKE SURE that no one is in the cube next to you.


Don't run in the house. Particularly when you're barefoot and carrying food. Otherwise, you may have to explain to people how you broke your toe while watching Star Wars.

Never flick the end off a match, held between finger and thumb, with your thumb nail. It just might fuse said finger and thumb temporarily, and smell bad.

Especially don't do this in a chemistry class.


Don't be touchin the exhaust manifold...while the engine is running (or, let me add, shortly after shutting it down).


Always be very careful to watch where you are hammering when hammering a nail. Sliced open thumb from the edge of the hammerhead may result otherwise.


Watch fingers around closet doors being opened or closed. Finger could be partially severed (Actually happened to me when I was about 1 on MOTHERS DAY. Taken to the hospital apparently screaming my head off (being 1 at the time I don't remember it) getting the partially severed finger stitched back on and now I'm not sure which finger it was.)

My story about being a nine-year-old with a hammer. True story.

I found a web page that says comparison studies are full of fail.

Note to self: Don't trust comparison studies.


Just because the metal isn't red doesn't mean it isn't hot.

Note to self: Don't pull down a scarf from the top shelf of the closet when an iron is sitting on it. The scarf and the iron will come down at the same time on your forehead.

Another note to self: Don't try to kill the ball in racquetball when you don't have a grip on the racket. It can make a complementary scar with the first scar on your forehead.


Don't try to stop a moving chainsaw chain with your hand.

Nobody I know has tried it, but it was stamped on the side of the machine by the manufacturer, so somebody obviously has...
