Have you ever started a fire?I went to sleep with candles burning - woke up to a circle of flame on the rug. Thought, "Tits. Better put the rug in the bath and turn the taps on." TIP: Don't put a burning rug into a fibre glass bath. I caused about £5000 of damage to the house and was coughing up smoky black phlegm for a few weeks. Can you beat that?

A few timesthe one I remember most was because of the sheer idiocracy of it. I had just move to my current locale (Indiana) from Ohio and a friend of mine came with us to help move. We were hanging out one day while my parents were at work. We decided to have some fun and start a fire. Where did we start this fire? On the driveway? Nope. Backyard? Nope. Maybe the porch? Nope. then it must've been the street, surely? Nope. We decided to set the fire in front of the fireplace. Which in turn left a big black stain on the bricks in front of the fireplace, that is still there to this very day. Why we didn't at least start it in the fireplace nobody knows. Needless to say my parents came home, saw the blackmark and smelled the remains of smoke. I was in some big-time trouble for that.
