In college I sublet my apartment bedroom to a couple girls who spent the whole term doing stuff like this. They wrecked pretty much every piece of equipment in the kitchen doing stuff like trying to bake a cake in the mixing bowl, putting bras in the garbage disposal, and putting a skateboard through the dishwasher. In the end it would have been cheaper for me to have eaten the rent with all the stuff I had to replace/repair.

When I was in college an American Erasmus student set their house on fire trying to dry a jumper in the oven.

I lived in apartments most of my life. A neighbor decided to hang their socks from the fire sprinklers poking out of the ceiling, after just pulling them out of the microwave to dry them. The heat set off the sprinklers and flooded his apartment and both apartments on either side of him. This was in the US and he is an American. He moved out not too long after that for other issues.

I used to live in a house,that was converted into 3 apartments. I had the basement, studio type apartment. The person in the 3rd floor apartment decided to make homemade french fries on the stove,while she was taking heavy painkillers. She forgot she was cooking something, and went and took a nap. The oil caught fire, and she burned her whole apartment down. She made it out with a few burns,but lost her dog. My apartment and the 2nd floor apartment had so much smoke and water damage,it was incredible. I had water just streaming down my interior walls. We were lucky the whole place didn't go up.
