    I’m driving an EV and I would like to prove you wrong.

    I was making tea in a teapot, when I poured in the boiled water and closed the lid, the hot air inside expanding and making the tea overflowing through the spout. In a panic, I quickly used my finger to plug the spout in an attempt to stop the overflowing, and thus burned my finger.

    My best friend of 20 years was sitting there and witnessed the whole thing. It has been years since and he’s still bringing it up occasionally.

      “A falling knife has no handle.”

      Your reflexes were faster than your brain, happens sometimes.

        Yep. Every time a blade is dropped I step back and push/pull anyone else away.

        I shave with a safety razor and made that mistake once. Thankfully a minor scratch but still scary.

          As a kid I got yelled at for breaking the iron, because it fell and I moved instead of catching it.

          Once my mom was done, I asked her if a new iron was cheaper than a hospital bill for two burned hands.

          She didn’t apologize for yelling, but she said I was right.
