You take something off the hot stove/you turn it off. Why is this hard? -- nm - Spawn Mar 17, 12:54 10
- I take stuff out of the oven all the time and forget to turn it off. A burner on high I usually notice. - Blinky the Three Eyed Fish Mar 17, 12:59
- Remember when a spark got on the oven mitt and a half hour later I burned michigan on the counter top? -- nm - Amy Mar 17, 12:57 1
  - Well, that could not have been avoided. -- nm - Spawn Mar 17, 12:58
- I don't do it consciously. The trouble with electric is they don't always look on. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 12:56 4
  - But you were just cooking on it. -- nm - Spawn Mar 17, 12:56 3
    - I get the logic, it just doesan't always get turned off. It's unconscious. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 12:57 2
      - Your unconscious self shouldn't be allowed to cook until it learns better. -- nm - TWuG Mar 17, 12:59 1
        
        my conscious self has a damn gas stove so it's not a problem. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 13:05
- I don't know, but my idiot roommate has left it on a couple times. -- nm - ceregon Mar 17, 12:55
- I ... just ... said ... (besides, I usually turn the burner off before I remove something from the stove) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 17, 12:55
"Oh, the stove is on fire, I should put it out." is a lot more fundamental instinct than "Oh, the burner is on. Oops." -- nm - Beryllium Mar 17, 12:54 2
- Logic dictates that by cooking on it, you know it is freakin' hot. -- nm - Spawn Mar 17, 12:57
- exactly this. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 12:56
