27: Accidently turned on your spotlight (lying face down) and set your pickup seat on fire--burning a 1 foot round hole through your seat and filling the cab with thick yellow smoke--and someone comes to the door of your house asking if your truck is OK... And you are pissed that the best spot light you ever owned was wrecked!
