I was working at someone's home once, with a number of others, paint and
cleanup for sale job.  They gave us run of the kitchen all was well for a
while... I'm working in a bedroom some time later and a couple of the guys
outside start telling me through the window there's smoke.  I can smell it,
but thought it was outside, and they're ahh no, it's coming out of the
window.  We had a couple of odd middle eastern background guys, and one of
them had done the same thing.. We were calling him Chemical Ali with the
secret smoke attack for a bit... set off the smoke alarms, house ended up
full of smoke, had to drop a wet towel over the mess on the stove to put it
out.  Given the neighbourhood at the time, we were lucky no one had called
the fire brigade the smoke was that thick.
