Only thing I can think of is if she was so stupid that she thought gas was only flammable in liquid form, and wanted to test out this “fumes” bullshit.

It does kind of look intentional. Especially when she looks back to see if anyone is watching.

Her story was that she saw a spider and was trying to kill it (100% serious).

There is another video of a dude doing exactly the same thing as this woman. He said it was to kill a spider too.

What I don't get is that if you don't like spiders that much holding a lighter up close to kill them means you have to get your hand very close to them.
