into your day-to-day actions?

I was just thinking about this as I have a cottage roll on the stove. The general plan is to have it sit in borderline boiling water all day.

HOWEVER

I needed to go to the grocery store (in fact to buy potatoes to add to that fatty boiling water for the last hour or so before serving) - and it got me thinking . . .

Should I turn off the stove? What if I die while I am out? The water will boil down to nothing then the hunk of meat will be directly exposed to the heat and it will sear and burn and slowly create a stink. My neighbours will be all like, "The fok?" And someone will have to find the super to open the apartment and basically it will all be just one big hullaballoo.

All because I didn't take the appropriate actions in case I died while I was out.

But I left the stove on - as I have often left stuff cooking in the oven while going out.



I just wonder if I need to be more courteous to my neighbours and factor my possible death into my actions more consistently.

Turn it off while you are gone.

No because fear and fear drama scenarios are for the weak.

Do you do that? If you have a roast in the oven or whatever and you need to pop out, do you turn off the oven just in case you don't make it back?

If I had a roast in the oven....bwhahahahahahaha



Ok but seriously...I can't relate to the cooking thing much, but I have thrown out things that I wouldn't want people finding in case I didn't make it back from vacations or things like that...so to some extent, yes, some everyday decisions are influenced. I have recently starting wearing a seat belt (which I should have always done,) because I worry that there would be no one to take care of mom (in the short term) if something happened to me.

I probably wouldn't shut off an oven, but I am not sure I would leave something boiling on the stove.
 
That's so dark. It's one thing to gab about it - but to actually base actions on the serious possibility of demise. Dayum.


:death:


Although I consider seatbelt to be a different category of thing.

Of course you can deconstruct it to any extent. I just went downstairs to the laundry room but left the cottage roll roiling. Same rules apply. Could've died and not made it back.

But for that matter I could just drop dead doing whatever I'm doing right here and not get to the stove in time. I guess there's a chance people are going to deal with some post-mortem shit because of me regardless.



Now I'm wishing I had made this some kind of poll.
 
Most relatable real life happening I can think of: once back in my drinking days, I passed out with some pork chops cooking on the barbecue.

Fortunately, it is a pretty clean situation. I woke up several hours later and all the propane had burned off and my cylinder was empty. There was nothing but a few bare, charred pork bones sitting on the grill.
 
Have the one TV hooked up to the laptop. Woke up and everything was sideways, 90 degrees somehow I slept on the keyboard and hit a command. Had a friend help me bring it right side up after asking me if I was standing on the wall. So that worked out after abour 4 minutes of total confusion.
