WATCH: Man Sets Gas Station on Fire to Kill Spider

The phrase “kill it with fire” never had such a literal meaning until now. In this crazy video, posted above, a man sets a gas station on fire and risks an explosion just so he can kill a spider. The incident occurred at Center Line gas station in Detroit, where the man tried to set a spider on fire with a lighter, forgetting how quickly gasoline fires can spread. He put out the fire with a nearby fire extinguisher and somehow managed to escape any serious injury. The only damage was to the gas pump, which was destroyed.

Susan Adams, who works at the gas station, said that the man lied to her at first and said the fire started because of static. But after being questioned by investigators, he admitted that he saw a spider and tried to set it on fire with his lighter, USA Today reported.

The most important question that still remains unanswered is: Did the spider die or did it somehow survive, living on to taunt more customers in the future?
