It’s too bad people get rewarded for stupidity. $7 million for storing a can 18 inches above a stove.

“In a commercial kitchen, that’s a sort of normal place where people leave their cooking spray cans when they’re actually using them. And the same thing has happened all across the country, not necessarily on shelves above stoves, but on shelves near stoves, on countertops," he said.

Yes dear, everyone's stupid except for you.

Yes, because clearly smart people don't store items to be used at the stove anywhere near the stove. Only idiots like checks notes commercial kitchens would do something that stupid....

I read a comment earlier that there has always been the same percentage of stupid people on earth. Just that the internet makes them more obvious and noticed.

Your existence and comment proves this.
