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?

I was a fresher at uni whenI left a candle burning as I fell asleep after a party. I woke up to find the room was burning. I couldn't find any clothes so I grabbed the first thing to hand (a duvet cover) and ran for the fire extinguisher. When I got back the room was ablaze and I couldn't get in. I ended up having to walk downstairs (it was a hall of residence) and wait outside as 250 people looked and pointed until the ambulance men took me away for a check-up
It caused enough damage to take out half the floor for three months (15 rooms) I have never lived it down and even met someone the other day from my old uni who was there at the same time who asked me if I knew the bloke wot done it. this was ten years ago.
