not long ago I took the coffee grounds baskets quickly out of the coffee maker. It was still full of hot water. It went all over my abdomen. The next day I couldn't go to work because I could not wear clothes. The burns were really bad. I ended up going to the ER. They had me go to the burn clinic at Children's Hospital. Had to answer a slew of questions from a few nurses. Like they thought it was abuse. I had to return 3 days in a row so they could change the dressings. And always with more questions. I guess they never thought someone could do something so stupid. Now I leave the coffee alone a good five minutes after I hear it stop gurgling.
