Fire starts with spider chase

I can totally sympathize with people who have a deep hate for spiders. I grew up with poisonous ones and we learned to be careful. It didn't stop me from hating them though. I once made my little sister pay me money to kill one that was in her room! Although, I've never tried killing one with a lighter as a man from Portsmouth, England did.

He tried to kill a spider with a lighter. BUT there was a crack in the wall, so the flame ignited the material behind the wall. Soon after, flames were reaching their way to the roof. When firefighters arrived, they found the guy trying to tame the flames with a garden hose.

Man cleans with gasoline while smoking

We all see the signs at gas stations that you should NOT smoke while you're near the pumps. So, what makes you think you can do this at home? Everyone knows that it's the fumes that's combustible. So, you should not have any kind of fire anywhere near gas.

However, that didn't stop a Wisconsin man from doing it. The man threw his lit cigarette into a pile of clothes and cushions that were soaked with gas. The fire in his apartment forced his neighbors to evacuate their homes. He didn't even bother pulling the fire alarm! He just yelled "fire" a couple of times and then walked to the local police department to ask for help.

Genius!
