In the depth of pandemic lockdown, after my roommate moved out to return closer to family, I was in my house alone for a month straight. One day I hear the tea kettle whistling on the stove.

It was the middle of summer, I hadn't made tea in weeks. Maybe I bumped the stove control? But there shouldn't have been any water in the kettle. And I hadn't been in my kitchen for over an hour and it wouldn't have taken that long for the water to boil had I put it on and just forgotten about it somehow. I keep my doors locked.

Idk, the only thing I can think of is the isolation really got to me that day, I put the kettle on and completely forgot I had done it five minutes later.

Was there any water actually in it or did you not check?

Maybe tinnitus or tv?

It was about half full of water and it was boiling.

So if there was nobody else there you must have done that and just blepped or been on autopilot. It happens lol

What kind of stove? Could you have bumped the knob and the kettle had water leftover from last time?
