Ever burn or cut yourself but don't remember doing it?

I've got a painful blister on my finger---it's clearly a burn, a fresh one at that.

I baked some cookies tonight (yep, it's exam time) but I don't remember actually hitting the oven rack or the ridge of the pan...

I've ended up with nicks and cuts like this, too--a nick the exact shape of the end of the vegetable peeler on my left thumb, for instance.

It's *weird*.

Do I just end up getting some sort of cooking adrenalin that keeps me from noticing these things?

Probably comes from smoking dope while making something.

Marijuana tends to do that, making one not aware something's happening.

1. I do that all the time

Sometimes it's obviously from cooking. Other times it's probably from my cat.

Other times...? No idea.

2. Yep.

All the time. The next day I'll hit it or something like alcohol, vinegar, or lemon juice will! Owwweeee!

Enjoy your cookies...hope your booboo feels better.

3. I do that a lot but....

I have incomplete spinal cord injury and lack protective sensation in my extremities. I keep the Bandaid people solvent.

Oh for Gods sakes,why do they get all uptight over the silliest things?

Not only are they batshit crazy every last damn one of them is a hypochondriac it seems.

Well I'll admit I've gotten little nicks and cuts and not known where I'd gotten them...But I'm a klutz..
