Ok, this is both an SC story, and a funny co-worker story, but they're related.
I've only worked at the bowling alley for TWO days. On my first day one customers nearly burned the place down with a birthday cake.
Birthday cakes have candles... not a big deal, this is allowed... however, these are suppose to be BIRTHDAY candles... not ROMAN candles!
This guy reached into a bag, pulled out two roman candles, shoved them into the cake and lit them... while inside the building.
We were so stunned we didn't know what to do but laugh, and wonder if he'd set the sprinklers off.
Eventually he got the idea that the cake was bellowing fire and smoke and ran outside with it.
On my second day, a coworker almost burned the place down... We found a lighter behind the desk and he lit the corner of this post-it note we had up. These things don't burn well, so it went out almost immediately, but there was still a little ember on it. One of the girls who works there decided to put it out with her finger...
CW: *Touches burning ember with finger*
CW: "OW, that's hot!"
US: "Ya think!?"
About an hour later, he still has the lighter and decided to take the disinfectant and spray a fireball (Same trick you can do with hair-spray). There was a group of co-workers watching, and just as he did it a little kid (maybe 8 years old) ran behind the group (not close to them, just passing by)... the look on the kids face we he saw a plume of fire launching out of the spray can was priceless.
