What would you take...

If your house was on fire? You have maybe a minute or so before you'd have to be out, what would you take with you?

I'm watching the movie "Leap Year" this morning and he asks that question to the chick and it got me thinking. I'm curious what ya'll would save.

Yeah, our cat Felix would be a priority for me too. Can't leave my fur baby to burn to death ?☹️

I wouldn't have time to grab any belongings because I'd be trying to herd my pets out. I'm sure the cats would run from me and hide, and the dogs would probably start fighting or something.

Yeah, pets can be a handful huh. My cat likes to hide too but I'd be dead set on finding him.

I understand. I'd be the idiot who dies in the fire trying to save her pets.

Yeah. It's an interesting thing to think about but I suppose you wouldn't ever really know until it happens and your flight or fight instincts kick in.

But pets are family and it'd be hard to just leave them. I'm getting sad talking about this...lol

Wallet, any forms of ID and my external hard drive.

Another smart answer. I'm starting to think I need to organize my shit and have it all together in case I need to grab it and go. Lol 🙂

I have a carrier for each cat, set up for just such a situation. I work at a shelter, so I have to be prepared. But stupid cats hide when they're scared. SMH

Aww a shelter, our Felix is from the local shelter - such a lovebug!

That's a good idea though!

My pets and passport.

If I had a dog ? I'll take him with me anything else is replaceable.

Yup! Pets are family to me so they'd come before any material object.

No no. The fire must've been detected by fire alarm (which I have installed) and I would look for the source and try to put it out with all my might preventing bigger flame. Therefore, house burning down can be prevented.

If the house is completely burning all the way through then i must have not been at home. So there's nothing to take from the house.

Lol. 😛

Well let's say the fire alarm didn't go off - faulty or the batteries died or whatevs. And you woke up from a dead sleep to flames everywhere. What would you take?

Ah fuck it. None! 😄

I'd take my computer because I don't want to lose the internet

Important stuff is in a fire safe. No worries.

But the millennial version might go:

"OMG. Definitely my cell phone. How else will I be able to post selfies in front of my burning house to social media....."

My cat Felix and my box of family photos would be my choices.

I'd grab my 9mm and shoot at it.

My cat. ??

All three of my cats and my turtle!

My bffs ashes, my purse, phone & makeup (hey some of my makeup is expensive lol)

My Fender Stratocaster and Rickenbacker

best answer : I'd take the fire and go outside
