I was busy with a couple of my ladies, speed-kissing to make them Master Parents so they could become Scholars. I didn't look around the area for quite some time and when I did, there was a full pot with boiling water! Now, I already have the "hot rock" trophy, so I didn't have a rock on the fire. I also didn't direct anyone to fill the pot!

I'VE never seen a person voluntarily put a rock on the fire OR get water for the pot! Has anyone else seen these actions happen automatically?

You probably pressed one of the short cut keys, "b" or "SHIFT+B" by accident.
