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.

Returning the unused food?
From people's plates?

Surely he means
"returning the unused food to the bins"?

Haha bins
You've obviously never worked in a hotel.

From the buffet table
Which, if they were really really lucky, would be served up as staff meals 1-2 days later.

Last night's spuds are tomorrow's bubble and squeek.

My ex-girlfriend once managed to knock a full jug of boiling hot milk over her thigh
The texture wasn't the nicest while it recovered...

Unless you like crispy bacon
