Your #2 reminds me - I set fire to my parents house on boxing day. I had received some toy (I forget what) in a big cardboard box. My dad told me to put it on the fire when the flames died down. Not realising I should tear the box up, or at least jump on it, I placed it neatly in the middle of the fire, and it promplty rolled out into the middle of the room setting fire to the carpet and walls. I literally shat myself.
