"I've gotten burned so many times" is not occasional. duh

I've been cooking for more than 60 years and I cook practically every
day, often all day... I've never gotten burned... professional cooks
rarely if ever get burned. Those who tend to burn themselves early on
and often almost always find a different occupation, one without heat,
or sharps. People who burn themselves as you do, "so many times" are
typically careless in all things including personal hygiene,
especially personal hygiene.
