    Man…I had to go to the hospital for a broken hand and the amount of pleading and convincing I had to do to prove I wasn’t self-harming.

    Bruh. I make pizza. This shit just happens time to time. I’m good, can I get a cast please?

  2. That’s when you get mad and start moving faster and trembling and burning yourself even more out of sheer frustration and just wanting to be fucking done with it but now you’re messing up in ways you normally don’t lol

    I’m permanently marred by my young baking career

    I call them my resume scars. No paper resume needed, I’ll show you the years of burn scars from deck ovens, strap pans, steam, etc. to prove that I know what I’m doing. Literally trial by fire.

  5. I totally get the feeling haha!

    Back when I was working in a great restaurant, my station was proteins and sauces. When I burned my self, it kinda gave me a jolt of adrenaline and helped my focus.

    Due to the way it was installed, I had to bend to get food in and out of the stove and burned myself quite often… and I admit that I enjoyed it haha!

    I worked a station where there was a double convection DIRECTLY behind the grill guy, I could only really open the doors a crack and I had to be in and out of those things like a thousand times a night. My arms were fucked up. Especially if the grill guy didn’t hear my “behind, oven open” and he would back up closing the door on my arm. Shit sucked.

    from time to time, i’ll blow peoples minds when i see a round red splotch underneath a jaw line: oh you’re a violinist. I *always* get how the fuck did you know that. lol

  8. “TheBipolarBaker” – love it lol 🤪🥐

    When I was under the influence back then I would burn my arms to “wake myself up”, now it’s out of guilty pleasure 🔥☺️🔥

    Hand peeling with a wooden paddle was a NIGHTMARE at the bakery I worked at. Sometimes our loader would act up and we’d have to use the paddle and the amount of burns I got on my hands and arms were so bad

    The scars on my arms are so bad I legitimately worried my therapist when I first visited them.

    I used to refer to those marks as my tiger stripes

    I call them “tattoos of honor”. I’m out of the game now but it took forever for them to disappear

    After 5 years I’ve burned both my arms at least half a dozen times each. 😛 Even 0.2 seconds is already enough to leave a burn mark…

  14. Tfw you want battle scars, but you’re ineligible for military service. I’m gonna look like a different kind of warrior.

    Its more like “I don’t even notice anymore “

    Omfg most relatable meme I’ve ever seen. Ever get scratched by craggy sourdough? I’ve had bread splinters 🙃 still love making the bread though lol

    I got a burn on my burn the other day. Guess it didn’t hurt enough the first time 🤷‍♂️
