Why I hate candles

Post by jansman »

Tenants next door recently left the oven on and burned out the kitchen. Tonight the lady of the house put candles on the windowsill whilst having a bath. Trouble is, she drew the blind just above them. Guess what? They caught fire. The plastic window is now molten and once again there is majorsmoke damage. WTF ! Well she is blonde and her name is Krystal! He is a fuc* wit blonde ( and thick) tatooed gym bunny.

The fire brigade have just left, and she had the nerve to ask us if they could use our shower til theirs is fixed. Guess what my reply was?

I hate fu** wits.

Oh yes,I posted it here as it reminded me to check the pressure on all the fire extinguishers and alarms.

If foam invert several times to remix the concentrate... (Think spirits and your mixer settling out...

Powder tap invert and shake several times to separate the powder
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Then check your blood pressure!!!

Sounds like the idiots next door are a liability and need babysitting, or they need to be moved out.

Is there any damage to your property?

Glad no more damage was done OP and everyone is safe.

Never ceases to amaze me that some adults still don't understand the dangers that come with candles, I truthfully think some people don't realise that a lit candle is fire.

Just be on your guard OP i guess that is all you can do and constantly keep checking to make sure smoke alarms/co2 alarms are working.

Keep ya chin up.
Having food,water and shelter are not a right.
They are a responsibility.

So make it your priority.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to live without supervision, I'm so glad you are all OK though. Let's hope the landlord gets shot of them sooner rather than later!

I don't know tbh. However, my Wife sent him a message last night, and the reply was that "They will be looking for a new home". And thanks for the extinguisher tip Y.A. :D

Yes, some folks do need babysitting. I despair sometimes at how absolutely stupid some people can be.

Now it is light I have been out to look. There is some heat damage to our plastic window that stands next to theirs. Also smoke damage? to the recently painted rendering. Nothing major, but I will go and see my insurance broker in the morning and see how to proceed. More aggro!

It was quite a spectacular event in a scary way.
