• Kristina Is a Nincompoop

    Kristina said she had to go to the bar to open up because her manager
    called in sick. But when she got there, inside were only a few crates.
    Where was the bar furniture and why didn't Kristina think it was odd
    that it was missing? She had gone to the bar to open for business, so
    where were customers supposed to sit?

    Kristina said she walked into the bar and smelled gasoline and saw
    puddles on the floor. Then she had to physically touch and smell the
    puddles to know what they were. Why would she need to smell the puddles?
    Why would she not immediately understand that the puddles were what she
    smelled when she walked in?

    Kristina said she became trapped when she tried to put out the fire. But
    there was always a clear path to the way out on the other side of the
    bar. And even if she was too dense to get out *before* the place was set
    on fire, why did she not run out when it was? When the fire started, why
    did she not think, "wow, this is a job for the fire department," then
    run outside and call 911?

    Plus, there must be a delivery door "out back". And possibly more exits, depending on the size of the bar - number depending on local fire safety regulations for all public establishments.

    There has been a lot of commentary about this on social media.

    I am not sure how I would have reacted. I doubt looking for the
    extinguisher would have been my first reaction. I am pretty sure would
    have made getting out of there my first priority.

    Right! Maybe we should give Charlie's credit for at least having a fire extinguisher, even if the only reason they kept one was to extinguish
    out of control fiery concoctions.

    I think most people would have made that choice. Not sure about this, so correct me if wrong, but I *think* the door to the bar might have been
    ajar when she got there. If she entered the bar in spite of the door
    being ajar, in spite of seeing puddles on the floor, and in spite of
    smelling gasoline, then her life expectancy just shot thru the floor.
    Kristina will be the one who will light a match to relight the pilot on
    the cook top after walking into the kitchen and smelling gas.
