I keep doing it. I've tried to train myself to leave the kettle off the stand,so it can't burn power if left on accidentally,but for some reason i sometimes put it back on the base with it switched on. If i'm making a cup of tea,it doesn't happen as i let the water boil,then the kettle switches itself off,but as we aren't supposed to put boiling water on coffee i take the kettle off the base before it's boiled and can switch itself off. Then about half an hour later i'll hear a clicking noise and think Oh no,i've left the bloody thing on again"!!. Surely if the kettle was accidentally left on(burning power)for half an hour,it'd burn itself out...wouldn't it?
Edit.. There is no water in the kettle when left on, if that's any help to you.
