TIFU by tripping and spilling boiling water over myself.

This happened just over an hour ago. I was making some spaghetti for me and my brother, once it was ready, I grab the cooking pot to get the water out, I trip over my own feet and spill boiling water all over my left arm and hand. Brother got scared with my scream, water service was temporarily off (viva Venezuela) so I had no other choice but to put my hands in the only bit of water left in a bucket, which was then useless after it got dirty with my oily hands. The pain was unbearable for a while, I can't imagine how that gay couple who got attacked with boiling water must have felt. But hey, I've always been an optimistic guy so I'm going to tell you the good side of this... I just discovered the best fucking feeling in the world, sticking the burnt area in ice water (now that the water service is back on). That shit is better than sex, better than weed, better than having sex while smoking weed. (don't take it as a "try this"). So here I am sitting in my computer amazingly writing this with only my right hand (the other is in ice water and I'm left handed) and having a good time over all. Be careful with boiling water, people.

TL;DR spilled boiling water on my left arm and hand, but discovered one of the greatest feelings ever... ice water!
