How in the hell or better yet what in the hell is "unattended" cooking and how is this considered accidental?

It's cooking on the stove top or the oven and no one is in the same room while the food is cooking. Some people are just sooooo stupid that you have to spell it out to them. I can understand the stupidity but why so angry? Anyway, pots boil over and grease fires are a real thing people. $hit happens, especially with older folks that sadly live alone.

They are perfect and everyone else is stupid. Another example of why no one wants to hire locals for anything but fast food, retail and grunt work.
