Girl Laughs Off Festival Loo Handbag Ordeal

AnonoBoy

Be careful in those portaloos people!

A girl who got stuck in a Leeds Festival loo while trying to retrieve her handbag was left bruised by the 20-minute ordeal, her cousin says.

But the 19-year-old, called Charlotte, is starting to laugh off the drama.

She had to be rescued by a fire crew after reaching in to try to grab the bag she had dropped down the long-drop toilet - and becoming jammed in the seat.

Her cousin Katie told Sky News Online: "I think most people would have left the bag, but it had all of her money in it, her phone and her tickets home - her life really.

"She couldn't reach with one arm so she put her other arm in, and managed to get her shoulders stuck.

"Her arms are black and blue from bruises."

Luckily, Charlotte's friends were standing outside and quickly raised the alarm.

The on-site fire crew are said to have treated it as a major emergency and sent seven firemen, who tried to dismantle a portion of the toilet to pull the teenager free.

After 20 minutes they had to pull Charlotte out, leaving her with more bruises on her hips, her cousin said.

"She was hosed down, which was a bit embarrassing," Katie added, "but she hadn't been covered in anything as her hands were a good few feet above it.

"She went to get changed and she stayed for the rest of the festival - but she said she felt paranoid as she thought people would be nasty about the incident.

"It did spoil it a little bit."

"She was a bit distressed when she came home but I told her not to take it to heart and I think she's able to laugh it off now.

"I can't believe how big the story has become. You can even buy 'poo girl' hoodies!"

Leeds Festival organisers have not commented on the incident, which happened at the annual music event in Bramham Park.

However, the rescue has been widely discussed on the numerous Facebook groups set up 'in appreciation of poo girl' and her story.

Pighead

Reminds Pighead of the time he fell asleep in McGowans toilets in Phibsboro. Fell into a particularly deep sleep and was completely out for the count. Bouncer had to kick the door in and shake Pighead vigorously before he stirred.

Bouncer: "You're barred son"
Pighead: Eh? What's your problem Mr Bouncer. Pighead's not drunk, he just fell asleep. It happens. Now kindly back away and let a man pull up his underpants and trousers in please. Anyway, the sister is a barmaid here. She can vouch for teh fact that Pighead's a decent non troublesome patron.
Bouncer walked me out into the bar area and says:
Bouncer: Anybody know who this mess of a man is?

Dead silence.

Pighead looked at his sister and says "Hey sis, didn't you hear the man? Tell the nice bouncer that you know me.
Pighead's sister: I have no idea who that man is. He looks pretty rough. Probably best to bar him.
Bouncer: Barred. Get the hell out of here you Walter Mitty trouser dropping spiderman underpants wearing lying fool.

Have never ever forgiven the sister for that act of treachery.

Did she learn nothing from Homer Simpson

"Don't worry I'm sure I can struggle my way out of this. I'll just pull my legs out with my hands. And now I'll pull my arms out with my face"

So she literally flushed her life down the toilet. Huh.

We've laughed at far worse things in AH!

Besides, she's clearly laughing it off herself so it's all in good fun.
