Today, my boyfriend thought it would be romantic to make me dinner surrounded by a candlelight setting. By the time I got home, we had 7 firefighters surrounding our house. Turns out one of the candles fell on the carpet and lit up the curtain as well. FML

mynameiscrazy tells us more.
No, this happened in Australia, and no it was not featured on the news of any sort. It happened on 30 June 2012, aha.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

I bet you were both concentrating on the practice of safe sex for the evening. Little did you know, fire safety would have been more practical.

It always sounds ridiculous to me when it's more than just "lol".

Fyl, but be grateful! At least your bf tried :) most guys wouldn't even bother to do that. Haha just tell him you'll do the cooking from now on.

How is he an idiot? People make mistakes..at least he TRIED to make a cute gesture. He had good intentions, and that's what matters.

Someone always has to complain about the first comment.. Not everyone is a comedian

48 - It doesn't need to be funny, it would just be nice if the first comment wasn't anything along the lines of, "wow that sucks, you/he/she is stupid". It's not that hard to at least make your comment ORIGINAL, even if it's not the best comment that could be posted for the FML.

Don't those two usually go hand in hand?
unknown_user5566 27
For those of us who are adventurous in their sexual endeavors, yes. Hot wax, anyone? ;)

Was gonna say something about "heating up their love life" but I see my friend kyleekay has already been much more specific.
unknown_user5566 27
Doctor, you mean we're friends? No jokes? I don't know how this day could get any better! ;)

It would be so ironic if they were stress release candles.

The guy was just trying to do something nice. Sucks that he ****** up, OP.

It was the thought that counted, and now it's the insurance company counting how much more OP will be paying them!

No, many a couple come home to find their home a smouldering wreck. Perfectly common.

Makes a whole lot more sense now when your boyfriend asked you "Is it hot in here? Or is it just you?"
