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?

My ExWho for the purpose of this post I shall refer to as "Harriet" (for that was her name), left two tealight candles burning on top of my flatmates rental telly, which we had in my room while he was on holiday. Suffice to say, I woke up the next morning coughing and surrounded by little wisps of flying black plastic stuff, the TV spouting flames at least a foot high.
I asked her to go over to other side of the room and turn on the light and I proceeded to extinguish the flames using merely my own breath. I then felt a bit faint and my other flatmate came down to find out what was going on. He saw the burnt out telly and rolled his eyes, saying "You do know Jerry will be back in about an hour, don't you?".
TIP: Do not try to put out a fire with just your lung capacity.
