My boyfriend! We were going to BBQ and I insisted I could start the darn thing with charcoal and lighter fluid. I tried and failed miserably (not enough fluid). He again offered to do it for me and, being the stubborn a*s that I am, I said "no, I got it. No problem!" I DOUSED it in fluid. When I lit it, it shot flames into the air at least 10ft high. I'm surprised I didn't burn his house down. What I did do, however, is ever-so-gracefully panic and jump...pushing him right into the grill, which astonishingly, sent his shirt up in flames in about 1.6 seconds!
He must have thought I was "hot" because we're married now. (:

Okay, here goes...
I had just read in a magazine to kill the bacteria in your dish cloth or sponge that you use to wash the dishes with, put it in the microwave for a minute.
Well, I had washed the dishes and threw the dish cloth in the microwave for a minute. I then ran up the steps to talk to my then boyfriend and I heard something POP! I stopped talking and asked him, "what was that?" He said it was a firecracker. I said, "Why does it sound like it's in the house?" (We were the only ones in the house.) He said he didn't know and that's when I took off running like a bolt of lightening! (The timer on the microwave got stuck at 1 minute and didn't turn itself off!!)
I made it downstairs to the kitchen to see flames INSIDE my microwave. He came downstairs and was going to pick it up and put it on the patio. I don't remember how we got it outside, but I was so embarrassed when I called the fire department. *cringing at the thought*
When the fire department got there one of the fire ladies told me she had set at least 2 microwaves on fire.
Just think, I could have burned down our home all because I followed the rules to some dumb magazine article.

I set a huge dried flower displayin a pub on fire once, many years ago now. It caught the curtains alight and burnt and blistered the paintwork around the curtains. I was trying to get my lighter to work, some sparks flew off it and Hey Presto Wooof! Suprisingley the landlord didn`t bar me and carried on drinking for the rest of the evening....

Toliet paper, man does that stuff burn fast! Still burns me, lol.
My dad's nickname is flaming mitt, because he was working on one of our race cars once and he handled gasoline while wearing gloves. Then he lit a cigarrette without taking off the gloves and it caught fire. He tried to put it our by putting the glove between his knees and then he caught his pants on fire, etc, etc... lol
And once my brother shot a bottle rocket at my dads butt, another flame another day, lol.
I am getting off topic, but there are more....

A garbage can when I was getting my vehicle repaired. Someone threw a rag away that had gasoline on it! When I lit my cigarette and dropped the match in the can, (I thought the match was out), Kaboom! What a blast that was! You should have seen the giant flames and smoke that started coming out the can! It startled me to death and embarrassed me even more!
(That was about 30 years ago!)

The backseat of my father's car - my friend dropped a cigarette and it was the first time I'd ever taken the car alone - as an adult (age 18).
