Why It Matters
A young man tried to remove the smell of fried salmon from his apartment before a date using a folk method involving orange peels, cinnamon and cloves, doused with water and heated over low heat.
The guy, getting ready for a date, decided to get rid of the smell of fried salmon in the apartment and accidentally provoked the evacuation of the entire house. He spoke about this on the Reddit forum.
According to the author of the post with the nickname Emotional-Music-9005, he did not find scented candles at home and decided to try a method from the Internet: he put orange peels, cinnamon and cloves in a pan, filled them with water and put them on low heat. Then he went into the shower, and when he returned, he discovered that the water in the pan had completely boiled away and its contents had charred and began to smoke.
The guy opened the windows and tried to remove the smoke with a towel. He waved it near the sensor, but it didn't help, and after about 30 seconds the fire alarm went off. The residents of the house had to be evacuated, and firefighters arrived on the scene. “My downstairs neighbor came out carrying his cat in a laundry basket,” the user recalled.
The author added that while the evacuation was going on, a girl arrived, whom he was preparing to meet. The date that evening took place, despite the fact that they could not enter the apartment, and the neighbors told his friend who was to blame for what had happened.
