You said you're the only person in the kitchen when you're cooking, so do as you will.
The day you have kids in your home, please put a saucer or something next to the stove to rest your spoon on, and turn your pot handles towards the back corner, so you can reach them but a small person can't. I've seen the damage boiling oil did to a small child's face and scalp. Even a year later it was still horrific and painful.
Yeah, spot on. This is just stupid and dangerous. And apparently for folks who don't understand gravity.
As you said, hot oil... dripping down a spoon handle.... directly towards another flame.....
