Things we do, but shouldn’t

  • Driving with dogs in your lap
  • Talking on your phone while driving
  • Giving the finger when you are pissed at a dumb driver
  • Eating

…To just name a few

Now you can add, driving with a lit fragrance candle on your dashboard?

Yep.

First you gotta ask, how bad does your car smell, that you have to burn and candle in your car?

Regardless, a driver in (you guessed it) Charlotte County, Florida was driving around with a fragrance candle on the dashboard, when they turned a corner the candle tipped over and set a bunch of papers on fire.

The driver pulled over, as you would hope, found a trash can to put out the fire, but sadly, it was too late. The car was bonfire and when the Fire Department showed up, the car was destroyed.

Makes you wonder, how you explain this to the insurance company.
