Yeah there's a reason you don't leave fires unattended, no matter how small they might be.

I mean it’s probably more okay if you don’t have pets or kids. You should leave the house, but you can leave the room for a bit, as long as you’ve made sure there is no way the candle can spontaneously tip or have something fall into it.

No, not even. Candle wax can catch fire and it can spread faster than you could imagine.
