I just woke up to a fire in my bathroom (pics)
 

No bullshit.
Last night I left a candle lit in my bathroom. I just moved into this place and the bathroom light began going out. The candle was almost out anyway so I left it alone.

This morning, I noticed it was still pretty bright in the bathroom. I walked in and the candle had broken at the bottom and the fire must have traveled down the wall and onto some towels I had on the floor and a magazine.

This scared the living shit ouot of me. I'm still shaking.

That's why I never leave candles unattended...you just never know...

rofl so it went out on its own?

you're fucking lucky the whole place didnt go up in smokes...

damn... hope ya learned what not to do for next time :winkwink:

Well good thing you didnt burn the place down, an angel was watchin over u

OMFG I always worry about leaving candles lit. Sometimes I leave the house and drive a long way and then think to myself "Did I blow out that candle?"

Everytime I do this I drive home and check again.

dayumn!!!

I'm still shakin a bit.

I walked in and my wall and towels were on fire.

An angel? Gotta be something. My intuition, an angel, something told me to look in the bathroom the second I woke up..

lucky u cought it early

that's the smartest thing to do

next time be more careful :)

you can consider yourself lucky....

oh my! damn you're still lucky that you have seen it earlier before it was too late.

I bet you won't to that again.... Someone was watching over you today.

yup happened to me too yrs ago - its a one time thing :)

this happened to me only 3 weeks ago - my heart wouldn't stop racing for hours - i literally ripped up my kitchen floor with a screwdriver and my bare hands - cut them to shit with slivers. in my case i had dumped an ashtray in a kitchen garbage bag that sits on the floor - within a few minutes luckily i went back into the kitchen and there it was

damn you should go to the casino today

Your landlord is going to love that.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Yea based on your pics, the fire didnt look like it did as much damage as it could've.

You lucked up. :banana :banana

Well, luck is preparation meeting opportunity.

I prepared the candle that would catch fire, I left an opportunity for the fire to start by leaving the candle unattended.

I think the fire was lucky. I'm just a moron.

Never again..

well that was a stupid fucking idea to leave a candle burning overnight.

i don't leave any lit candles coz something can always happen.

:Oh crap

damn thats fucked up. you got lucky though

you can say that again

I wanna see more pics of that photoshoot gone bad

Never leave open fire unattended.

No smoke alarm?

damn lucky for sure

daammn, you got lucky man. Even candles in those big jars I never leave on, if Im fallin asleep in the living room I blow it out, if Im in the bath & I leave the bathroom I blow it out.. you can never be too sure of something like that..glad your place didnt burn down tho, lucky for ya!

holy crap the same thing happened to me on Friday night except i was really lucky and was awake when my bathroom went up in flames

luckily Ramos Tony and Danielle were nice enough to clean the mess up while i hyperventilated in the corner with Nader

i had to throw away all the towels and bathmats and a lot of stuff in the bathroom... and now my whole house stinks 2 days later still

candles are bad m'kay

LIVE CANDLE FLICKERING ACTION!

that was crazy....tony smelled something burning and next thing ya know

Bonzai!!!!

Candles are bad. I had one of those Glade scented candles burning on my desk while I worked one day. I got up and went to the bathroom. I was gone maybe a minute. When I came out of the bathroom the smoke alarm in the hallway started going off. At first I was thinking the battery must be going dead on it and that's why it was going off. I couldn't smell smoke anywhere. I walked into my office and my desk was on fire. Seems the ceiling fan had blown a loose piece of paper on top of my candle. The paper caught on fire which caught my phone on fire which then caught a folder of papers on fire. Like a dork I scooped it all up and carried it to the sink. That was painful not to mention little pieces of burning paper dropped all over the carpet between my desk and the bathroom. I am so lucky I didn't burn the whole freakin' house down. And I am so glad my smoke detector is so sensitive.

new lessons learned :winkwink:

WTF were you thinking

Unfortunately, I do this with everything: candles, oven, door-locked?, dogs have water?....

Annoying little OCD I have.

you're lucky it didn't take the whole building

Man that is one great way to kill your self.

Maybe it was the smell of smoke ? hehe.

But seriously though, thats sucks ass, but it could have been much worse...

Even with candles in jars, never ever leave them alone. Especially those little dollar store candles. The wick can burn too close to the glass and shatter the glass, leaving the wax and fire to run over everything. The trendy gel candles can have air pockets which caused minor explosions/cracking of the containers. And Glade scented candles can kill any birds in your home, since the scented oils line little birdy lungs and stop oxygen from getting processed properly.

You are lucky you woke up in time!

your pretty lucky, could have been much worse

candles set the mood for relaxing night but please don't leave it unattended....

You better be careful next time man. :)

That's hot.
