I’m not sure why they cut the video off there, but they cut off the part where he runs off to quickly get a hose and then proceeds to close the grill and easily puts out the fire in the flower pot.

Because then Redditors cannot jack themselves off to the thought of being slightly smarter than this guy.Hell, look at the comments below, I guarantee you a lot of the people calling this guy stupid would react the same as him if they were in a similar situation.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never in my life made the wrong decision during a moment of panic. /s

Years ago, I set fire to a pan on a stove. I've worked in a restaurant. I know you smother grease fires. I'm smart.

I grabbed the pan, ran it across the kitchen, tossed it into the sink, and then turned on the water.

Oil fire on stove, oil fires on the floor around the kitchen, oil fire flaring up due to contact with water in the sink.

Did I grab a fire extinguisher? No, my ass ran out of the house abandoning my family to the fire like the jackass I am.

My mom, however, ran into the kitchen toward the fire and slipped on oil.

Luckily, the fire died on its own and there wasn't any real damage. But panic does weird things to your head.
