I almost set my house on fire while boiling water for ramen.
I turned on the wrong burner. I don't remember exactly what was on it, but it was essentially a plastic container with oil in it. So up went a column of flame and instead of doing something about it, I was so baffled at WHY it would be happening that I just kind of... looked at it. My father put it out before the firemen got there so all they did was set up some big fans to blow the smoke out of the house.
