Sure that I've seen heaven now I hope that I've seen hell

In a funny story about my vacation, one might hear about how I in an unmatched moment of brilliance, poured boiling water over my left hand. Then, to make it even funnier, you might hear how literally seconds later I poured it over the same hand again. which I guess brings me to my point. Why one earth do they put the max fill mark on the outside of the teapot when I am putting the water on the inside and have no possible way of knowing where that tiny line is? See, since teapots rely on air being able to flow into the pot as hot water flows out, if you overfill, when you attempt to pour the water, it completely covers the spout and since it is boiling, forcefully projects itself out of the teapot. This extreme pressure causes the hot water to dramaticly overshoot the intended target, typicaly a cup. or container of some sort and allows it to find purchase on more sensitive tissues. I (much to your humor I am sure) did this not only once, but twice in a row. The amazing thing? While it is true that I did burn myself pretty good, I do not have any blisters are marks at all...? Initially, I treated it like any other burn, with cool water and eventual working to an ice pack. It didn't look to bad at that point, about a 6" diameter bright scarlet mark across the back of my hand. Well, I could feel the top layer of skin getting tight, dry and brittle like it wanted to crack. So off I went to the store to get something to help. I found these analgesic patches that act like a second skin. they trap the skins moisture and fall off when they should. I trully believe these amazing patches saved me alot of pain and suffering. And, my hand has no noticable marks.
