It’s very easy to accidentally start a fire, so a lot of people are extra cautious when cooking.

But mistakes can happen and this boyfriend was livid when he found his stove on and unattended.

Check out where his anger got him.

AITA for getting upset when my girlfriend nearly started a kitchen fire?

My girlfriend is extremely scatterbrained, absent-minded, and messy.

She was cooking a soup on the stove and apparently went in the other room to do homework, and at some point, she fell asleep on the sofa.

Sparks start flying, but not the kind you’d think.

So when I got home, I walked into the kitchen, and most of the water had boiled off the soup and it had started smoking.

I yelled at her and she said she did not like being talked to like a child. I replied, “act like a child, get treated like one.”

Later, when I came home from work, all of her things were gone.

I tried to call her and I was blocked on every form of communication.

I haven’t heard from her since then and it was several weeks ago.

And he’s still clueless.

Was I really such a jerk to justify that kind of brutal reaction?

I think anyone who had their house almost burned down would be upset.

Here is what people are saying.

This about sums it up!

He sounds like a jerk in general.

Maybe he doesn’t want to get new batteries for his?

I hope she never sees him again. This is why.

Dude, you know that people are objecting to how he treated her, not objecting to him being mad.

Serves you right, bud.

You can be mad, but you can’t be mean.
