A few years ago I fell asleep with my charger next to me and it burned a pretty bad spot on my arm. Fast forward to 2023 and it happened to me AGAIN on my leg. The first picture is the scar that it left and in the second picture is the current burn. Any one else have this happen to them not once but TWICE?

Are you sleeping pressed up against the wall outlet? Or are you plugging the phone into a power strip or extension cord that you have in your bed? If the latter, you're lucky that your bed clothes didn't catch on fire. Any device, while charging, should be properly ventilated (e.g. on a flat, hard surface).
And you should never have extension cords or power strips in your bed.

No, it has not. That is because I do not allow anything warm/hot and plugged into electricity to rest on/next to any part of my body.

The first time was a mistake by leaving it in my bed and I never plugged it to an extension cord again. Last night I mistakenly fell asleep on the couch and it was next to me.
Charger block.
