I'm quite certain these are completely separate times and places, how the hell has someone tried this more than once?
My house was on fire and i can into the kitchen, past the extinguisher, grabbed a pot, ran past the extinguisher again... and realized it was ridiculous so i just went outside.
People do funny things during a crisis.
I mean, we're all taught for the whole life that the fire extinguishers and fire alarms are absolutely off limits. I'm pretty sure that during a fire I would still hesitate to break the glass and press the fire alarm button.
Carry one around with you all day, people will respect you for being prepared and you always know you're allowed to use it if there's a need.
I felt this way until i was the one who purchased the fire extinguisher. Something was different knowing i was responsible for it, and i dont think id hesitate (i say now at 6 am while everyone else is asleep and i can think)
I believe the person in the pic OP posted is actually throwing water at the wall, in an attempt to keep the fire away from their apartment.
Probably not very useful, but maybe not 100% stupid, I don't know honestly.
