You're not the only one, Tetra.
I spilled boiling hot coffee on my lap at the drive-thru at McDonalds--(just like that lady who sued--but about an inch north, thank God).
I thought there would be an initial moment of burning and then things would cool off. WRONG! It kept burning and getting worse and worse. It was pretty much agony.
When I got to my destination an hour later, I had a big purple blister an inch across!
