Viral Video: There are plenty of reasons behind people ‘acting out’ in public places, and most of them are usually not so good. However, no matter what the situation is, there is always a limit to that ‘acting out’, which this woman clearly failed to understand. A woman made headlines after she set a man’s car on fire, while he was busy filling up the vehicle’s task at a petrol pump. But that alone was not what made the incident go viral on the internet, it was the fact that this was a result of the woman getting ‘refused’ for a ‘cigarette’ that she asked for, from the poor man. Yes, you read that correctly. A refusal for a cigarette led to a blazing vehicle, right in the middle of a smoking-restricted area. The incident reportedly took place in Israel years back but is again going viral on the internet.
A video of the incident was captured on the petrol pump’s CCTV camera, which was then shared online. The clip left people out of reactions. As per media reports, no injuries were reported, and the woman was arrested.
The video was shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘PicturesFoIder’. The post was captioned, “Woman asks man for a cigarette, and when he refuses she lights his car on fire.”

Taking to the comment box, people shared their take. “Gas station worker should take precautionary measures if a customer refuses to put out his cigarette,” a user said. “This pretty much explains today's society,” said a second person. “That driver's reaction time saved his life,” said a third person. “Damn Bro was playing with a fire I see,” said a fourth person.
“Such a drastic reaction to a simple refusal of a cigarette exposes the fragility of human emotions and the unpredictable nature of individual responses to rejection. It's a stark reminder of how unchecked impulses can lead to destructive outcomes,” said a fifth person.
“If I can’t have it, then you cannot have it either,” said a sixth person. “Don't you think she might be one of his Ex-girlfriends,” said another. “I would have told her I got in the car ima get when I’m done and pulled off,” said the next.
