Raise your hand if you just burnt your stomach while trying to iron a pair of pants

[omghidanielle]

I think I might be alone on this...

owie.

 

[Liberty Belle]

Haven't you read the warning lables? You're supposed to take the pants off before you iron them.

Seriously, though, I'd take your flat burnt belly over mine, any day.

I have a friend who has an iron mark on her chest. When she was in the Army, she ironed her collar while she was wearing her shirt. Didn't turn out how she wanted.

 

[Imzadi]

Don't try steaming pants while wearing them. That doesn't work either.

 

[omghidanielle]

After being made fun of at work all day long about this, I can't believe no one has suggested that maybe I was trying to iron pants I was wearing.

Seriously, though, I got a little frantic while ironing my work clothes and the iron went off the board, into my stomach

Of course, I had to be dramatic and rolled on the floor like this until I realized my cats weren't Lassie dogs and weren't going to go for help and were only going to lick my face and walk away and I had to get over myself.

Well, I haven't burnt my stomach with the iron, but I have burned the side of my elbow with iron. Oh, and it wasn't today, either, it was awhile ago. I have a nice little scar. That's why I do my best to NOT iron.

 

[Imzadi]

Curling iron burn scars on the neck are bad, too.

 

[arminnie]

I reached across the ironing board for something and the iron fell on the back of my arm. That is in a place that is hard to reach. It was decades ago but I think everyone still assumes that I was abused (only by my own stupidity).

Do ya have me on ignore?

 

[CathrynRose]

Nope....not with an iron.

But I did burn my tummy draining spaghetti not too long ago. Splashed right back at me. That felt good.

 

[Grumpy's Gal]

a girl I knew in college tried to iron a shirt while she was wearing it and burned her stomach --

 

[nicolita3]

i burned my stomach with a baking sheet i still have the scar!

 

[wowsmom]

owie.

OMG! I did that once, a very long time ago when I had a flat tummy - and when I cared about whether my clothes were wrinkled!

I was running late for work and trying to get the pants ironed...then had to put them on and drive to work, which was not comfy since the pants were rubbing against the burn spot. I actually considered going back home and calling in sick...

 

[lillygator]

don't own an iron so nope here!

 

[FireDancer]

There are many a day that an extra 5 minutes of sleep would win over ironing my pants before putting them on. This is precisely why I always have a cup of coffee before making such decisions.

 

[karriemouse]

I have !!!!!

In my defense I was 8 1/2 months pregnant with DD10 and my tummy looked at bit different than yours! Boy did it hurt!

You can imagine the reaction of the medical staff at the ante-natal clinic!

Okay I will give you this one....I have pretty much had the experience of a burned stomach both pregnant and non pregnant, chest(ironing a wrinkle while blouse is on), I have also done the steam while you wear it trick too, my arms and hands have all had burn scars but I have as yet never burned my back.

I can raise my hand for that one. Unfortunately, I've done it more than once. Slow learner

I love reading some product labels for the entertainment value. I sit there and wonder about the incidents that brought them about. One of my favorites is the one on hair dryers saying not use them in the shower.

 

[Katieinwonderland]

Nope, never my tummy - but I have ironed right over my finger! I was in a hurry and OMG it hurt sooooo much! Ever since then, I haven't really cared how wrinkly my clothes are!

I also closed a pair of hair straighteners around my ear, that made me scream so loud the neighbors called the police!
