Quick! your trapped in your appartment on the fith floor...

and its aflame cause your retarded ass cant microwave popcorn properly and you have a bad habit of hording. The flames are between you and the door, so your desperately gulping in air through the farthest window from the fire. What do you do?

Wait for the fire brigade to try save you and risk burning to death? 39
Jump out the window and risk broken everything and/or death? 65

    I'd get the largest piece of cloth within reach (bedsheets or towel), soak it in the sink, cover myself in it and then make a run for the door. I'd knock on as many neighbours doors as I feasibly could and get them to start filling buckets and bowls with water. If there were enough neighbours, I'd make a human chain to supply the filled buckets to the fire and pass the empties back for refill. I'd be at the head of the chain because I don't think anyone else should endanger themselves for something that's my fault.

    Although if this happened in my current apartment, the sprinkler system would probably get to it before I did.

        Hehe, when I was a kid, my friend's mum genuinely used to boil pork chops and serve them with a kind of white pork scum on the top. Although, strictly speaking, she was Irish as opposed to British. It was still very odd, though.

    Well I think I'd try running through the flames even if I got burns on like 99% of my body but sounds better than jumping out the window

    but you're a horder, you would spend too much time trying to save your stuff, and you would end up dieing.

    Surely you could use the flames to make the popcorn?

    Going out the door seems like the best option. Wrap damp cloth around you, including something over your hand (for the knob) and run for it. You'll be out of the apartment by the time there's enough heat transfer to even singe your clothes, let alone transfer to your flesh. Wait for firemen and even if they got there before the fire killed you you'd probably be passed out or dead from the smoke. Leaning out a window seems like it wouldn't be all that effective at preventing it, and you'd just be feeding the fire by having the window open. If you choose to fall, you're choosing death or at the bare minimum many months in rehab and possible paralysis. There's a decent chance a 30-foot fall will kill you. 50-foot is just stupid.

    fight the fire.

    although in honesty... I've burned popcorn before. Badly enough that it was smoking and stank.

    What did I do?... I went to the sink and filled the bag with water. Easy peasy.
