I understand the lighter thing
I can remember trying to get a light off a toaster or an electrical hob, pathetic.

Electrical hob?!
I am not letting people smoke in the house yet, so when our lighters vanished/anyone with a lighter left the house, instead of being sensible and just buying one we'd light it on the (admittedly gas) hob and run through the house.

Though I do prefer matches.

I've seen a toaster used to light paper before

I did not see but had friends that witnessed
processed cheese, in its plastic wrapper, put into the toaster and turned on.

I saw my mother put a knife
in a toaster once. How a Darwin award was not achieved I shall never know

Did you say anything?
I have an awful tendency to watch and wait when I witness things like this.

It was a bit odd
she thought the toaster was off. And I was watching her spear bread with a knife because she couldn't reach it (small bread) and just thinking 'oh no.' So I shouted stop and she told me I was being silly, continued on and got the bread out

Used the bbq once to light a cigarette - this removed my eyebrows completely which hurt. A lot.

I just walk down to the 24 hour petrol station now and buy another lighter. Easier all round.

Alan Partridge had the right idea scoping the mini mart petrol stations.

The pilot light
on the gas boiler used to be a favourite of ours. Don't see too many of them around these days, though.
