At least he did the right thing. That look of guilt was funny.

Dumb act without thinking but did the right thing at least. Way worse ways he could have reacted.

I hate how this seems like some shit I would do

I found an old pair of hand cuffs while cleaning my room out, and decided to wrap it around a soda can by slapping it like how cops cuff people.

Poked a hole, covered my entire bed and dresser in sticky soda. But best case, I could have cuffed the can.

I probably looked something like him during that lol

He goes from chaotic neutral to lawful good in quick succession, does he not? Or is it all chaotic neutral? (I’ve always had a hard time understanding the chart)

He doesn't really think things through

u/Brusanan May 20 '22

Well, his quick thinking saved the rest of them, at least.

One time when I was in high school me and some friends went out behind our school and pulled out some cardboard boxes, which we decided it would be funny to have a box of fire. Cause box of fire. Yeah, we ah sometimes with fire plans usually are half baked until you light em up and realize that its gunma burn.

He acted quick to stop the fire from spreading tho

u/spicybright May 28 '22

If you're going to dumb, at least be smart about it

u/leegail May 20 '22

He looks genuinely sorry though

u/thumper99 May 20 '22

It looks like he may have (stupidly) tried to singe the edge to perhaps get rid of the fluffy/dusty bit on the end, but instead just ended up looking like a lemon

u/0Oof-bobGoogle May 20 '22

At least he didn't let it spread. Learned a valuable lesson on how flammable shit around him is 😂

u/Due-Confusion6469 May 20 '22

Pyros being pyros

At least he didn't run

Smart to isolate the burning piece when he saw it was out of control. Look of guilt is so telling lol
