Discovered a fire in my garage. My sister had thrown a cigarette butt into an overfull ashtray which was also plastic, something combusted. I was none the wiser though and opened the door to the garage only to be greeted with an opaque, fuckin straight outta Dark Souls lookin, WALL OF GREY SMOKE. I slammed that door in a panic thinking that exact same “I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE NOW!”, ran out of the house and clicked the garage door opener as I went. We saw rolls of black smoke pour out of there but thankfully it was just a small fire and didn’t reach the walls. Scary shit considering zero smoke detectors went off!
I use a glass jar as my ashtray for this reason (well, also because my cat is a horrible goblin that won’t leave anything alone). Screw the lid on and it doesn’t matter how spicy things get, it’ll run out of oxygen and put itself out.
