When my wife was still with her ex, he asked her to go start the propane grill while he finished prepping the meat. She turned the gas on but didn't light the burners because she didn't know you have to do that. He lost his eyebrows that day, and she doesn't touch our grill.

I had a very similar event right happen right before Christmas as well. I only eyeballed the macaroni on the stove (I didn’t eat any), which my sister just made and went back upstairs to my room where I was playing Bread and Fred with my girlfriend around 9pm. I continued playing with her for like an hour joyfully unaware. My sister was watching a movie upstairs as well (so she didn’t smell it). I went to walk my girlfriend to her car later, only an hour later cause my “curfew” at my house is 10pm. I immediately smelled gas walking downstairs which reeked. Must’ve been me cause I would have smelled it earlier if it was my sisters fault 😬 TLDR; I looked at macaroni and gas magically turned on by itself for like an hour I already felt like an idiot but this one was really damn sneaky be careful.

You are not a good judge of “minor.” The general malaise could be a sign of concussion. A stroke could be triggered. I hope you are okay, and that you get counseling for those “issues” you wanted to forget about. The brain does not have an erase button, you can only hide things for a while, and they come back, perhaps in disguise. You can add choice to your responses, but you must be conscious to do that.

"They are not losing money off what's being lifted, I promise you."

Really, you think the store is filing an insurance claim every time a $30 handle is stolen? LMAO. What do you think the average store's deductible per event is?

In reality you get the pleasure of paying for that handle by paying a little bit extra every time you shop.
