I was at work and since it was slow I had my sewing out, cutting squares for the log cabin I'm making for my daughter so of course I had the iron out and on. I bumped the ironing board and knocked the iron into the concrete floor and broke a piece off the bottom. I went to inspect the damage and grabbed the hot iron surface with my left hand- totally not even thinking about it- and blistered 3 fingers and the palm of my hand. 
It's so painful and I can't believe how dumb that was. I knew the iron was on!!
Anyone else have any silly-painful mistakes in the sewing room?

Yep been there done that many many times. My worst one was taking cornbread out of the oven, my mitt was to thin and the iron skillet seared it and me . DH says as he is running cold water on my burn ''Why didn't you let go'' There was no way to explain to him that (A) I'd have to clean up the mess (B) I'd have to start all over with a burnt hand (C) dinner would be delayed and the in-laws would be around later then I wanted them to be.

I can relate to all the dumb things, I believe I have done them all in my 78 years. I grab an egg and separate the white and yellow, slightly beat the white and spread on the burned area. You can do it several times. It works!

Many, many years ago when I was in high school, I would put a marshmallow on a fork to toast over the gas range. Took the marshmallow off and there was still some on the fork. Couldn't let it go to waste, so I stuck the fork in my mouth and pulled it between my teeth to get the rest off. My tongue touched it and I had blisters on my tongue to match the tines on the fork.

Hand is feeling much better today. The blisters are turning white and only hurt now when I wash with water too warm. I will definitely try the egg trick next time 
Thanks for sharing all your stories- makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one who does silly things sometimes
