I wish this was a joke headline, it sure as hell could be.
But it isn’t. By some ridiculous twist of fate, people are actually this
stupid.
The Crausewell family from Alabama had their house TP’d
recently. They weren’t thrilled, which is understandable because that’s only
hilarious for everyone except the people who live there. Unlike normal people
though, instead of just removing it by hand, taking time and effort, they tried
to burn it out of a tree.
The wind blew the burning TP out of the tree onto the grass.
That caught, and the fire spread to a propane gas tank and it got bigger, and
took down the house.
The family are reported to have realised “just how precious
life is”. Because it takes almost killing yourself with your stupidity to
realise that maybe you should be just that tiny bit more careful. Not even
wearing a seatbelt levels of careful, maybe just “making sure the rope is
attached to something before bungee jumping” levels of careful.
