Have You Ever.................

Reached into the dryer to retrieve your freshly dried clothing just as the dryer stopped........AND ENDED UP GRABBING A FLAMING HOT ZIPPER OR BUTTON............................

Happened to me today. Took a second to realize it and man did it leave a nice mark..........................

It is the dryer gremlins... the same ones that steal socks! leave mysterious stains that were not there when they went into the wash...
One day I will catch those little buggers!

Haven't done that, but I do enjoy grabbing a pair of jeans fresh out of the dryer and putting them on immediately, while they're still hot.

It does feel good to put on a warm pair of jeans, unless you don't tuck in a shirt, then the burn mark is on a more tender spot, (no, not there) your waist.

I was broiling salmon once at my sister's house (she never cooked fish before). When the fish was done I grabbed her oven mit and lifted the pan out of the oven. After a milli-second I felt the most intense burning sensation on my hand and had to drop the pan full of fish on the floor. As it turns out, the oven mit had a hole in it and I was touching the hot pan unprotected. The dogs were scrambling to eat the salmon as I was trying to recover it. That's one of those stories you can laugh about after a little time has passed, (and the pain subsides!).

I feel your pain.

I once lifted a 8 pound ham in a dutch oven, out of the oven, with home knitted (handed to me blind) NYLON YARN oven mitts as "fa favor" to the lady hosting the group feed.

My right hand actually bubbled when I submerged it in water to douse the still melting into my skin melted plastic.

Yea. I ate the dang ham off the floor - you bet I did!

This thread reminds me of something.
Want to score some brownie points with the ladies in your life?
My girlfriend's first husband, used to put her towel in the dryer when she was taking a shower. So when she came out, she always had a warm and fluffy towel to dry herself with. She was the envy of our office.
And in case your wondering. No she didn't get rid of him. He passed away, from a heart attack at age 38.

And that zipper burn, has happened to me on occasion while pulling stuff out of the dryer. Fortunately, I have a very high tolerance of pain.
