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?

Stupidity with a mains socketWhen I was about 6/7 years old i decided it would be a good idea to put a halfpenny(from my fathers collection) into a live mains socket... while the tv plug was still in.
Result
1 Exploded TV
1 Exploded Mains Box
1 Child with burn marks on arms for 6 weeks
Around £800 worth of damage due to exploding mains and surrounding area
