Out of respect for Amberl's injury
how badly have you burnt yourself? I was cooking sausages once. I'd just heated up the grill and put the pan in when I realised I'd forgotten to put the tomatoes on. Reached in with a bare hand to pull out the grill pan and tried pulling out the grill element instead. Which was red hot.

Alt: Who's actually going to be at this bash, then? People seem to be dropping like flies.

Second alt: Since Doris in the other thread forgot to renew her car tax, what have you done in this vein that's dumb? I also forgot to do my car tax this year, but got away with it. I drove around for three months without an MOT last year as I had convinced myself it was due in August and not, as it turned out, in April.

I have burnt myself badly twice.
Once as a child I put my hand on a hotplate. Secondly I dropped a hot iron on my foot. I didn't bother going to the doctors and just sat in bed for a few days watching it while it festered and eventually healed up.

Boiling eggs in my old flat.
Phone rang and I knocked the pan. Trying to stop it from falling off the cooker I pressed two of my fingers against the metal panstands. This hurts.....a lot. I went to the pub two hours later and they were still stinging. In fact, the only thing that stopped them from hurting was holding a cold pint of beer

Other one was as a kid, messing around with a fire. Sandstone rock exploded and two bits got me. One on the back of my hand in an exact 6 shape and another which removed a portion of my right eyebrow.

At junior scool we used to race up and then back down the playground.
The turning point was the class room building, where one would tag the window.

Imagine my surprise when tagging the window I went headfirst through it and ended up on the floor of the classroom having cut a massive chunk out of my wrist.

EDIT: no cooking involved and not a burn. TL:DR.

Catering injury
Working in a hotel many years ago... I was helping clear a buffet table where we had used chafing dishes to keep the hot food hot (basically a large container of boiling water with a burner underneath, on which you place your container of food). I was hurriedly clearing these back to the kitchen and returning the unused food to the chefs. In my haste I managed to tip all of the boiling water from one all over my ankle. It burned a lot. One quick taxi ride to Warwick Hospital for application of Flamazine (I think) and a bandage. I then milked it for all it was worth for getting days off for it was a shite job. For several weeks my ankle resembled very crispy bacon.

Ooh
I picked up a wire rack out of a combination microwave that had been going round at 180C. I had oven gloves on, but it swung and got me on the inside of my upper arm, as the microwave was on a tall surface.

Didn't hurt at first. Then the skin started peeling as I was in the bath. Yuck.

I used to get burns up my arm every week at McDonalds
They stopped hurting after a while, one girl had a wave of fat run over the back of her hand, that was nasty.

My stepmum once tested to see if a hotplate was on by putting her fingertips onto it. She swears she heard them sizzle, but I'm not sure about that.

Aside from burning myself on the iron a couple of times, I've never had particularly bad burns, although my sunburn after Download 2006 was quite impressive. The last burn I had though was from taking something out of a friend's oven. The oven gloves were so thin that the tray burned me, which made me pull my hand away, touching my wrist against the top of the oven.

Alt: I won't be there, sadly.

Alt Alt: I agreed to be waxed a few years ago, despite the facts I'd already had my legs done once before (both times were to raise money for charity). Fucking hell, that hurt.
