How many times have you accidentally set yourself on fire? Tell me.

I've never officially caught fire, and that's a little bit astounding since I'm not great at fire safety.

I fell asleep with lit cigarettes, I hid the matches in my room a few times as a kid so I could play with them outside on the weekends (but I never actually did it). I also used to love sticking stuff in candles when I was a kid. For a brief period one of my favorite pastimes of the holiday season was a game of Stick Bits of Debris in a Lit Candle and See What Happens. Pretty much every game ends with "the candle is ruined and grandma is really mad", though. So the game loses its excitement after you've played it a couple times.
