Reply to comment by GolfballDM in TIL Archduchess Mathilde of Austria accidentally set her dress alight and immolated herself while trying to hide a cigarette from her father by Brotherdodge

I've worked on building sites where it was seen as a laugh to drop a lit cigarette butt in the back pocket of someone's overalls. It wouldn't catch light but it would smoulder until they noticed, which could be when there was a 6 inch hole in them, if they were working outside.
