Man rescued from inside public toilet

xper

So there you are browsing the BBC News website over lunch and a headline in the Most Popular sidebar catches your eye:


"Man rescued from inside public toilet"


So obviously you click on it expecting some mild anecdote about some poor pensioner who couldn't figure out how to open the door of a Superloo or something ...

But no, oh dear god no. The picture immediately tells you things are much more, eh, involved.

A friends phone, why didnt he go and get his own phone and after all that couldnt retrieve it.

Must be some class of a dumb fnck to jump into a urine & chemical filled tank to retrieve a phone.

The firemen should have given him a Darwin award and left him there.

B0jangles

Must be the only person who saw that scene from Trainspotting and thought "that looks like fun!"

It sounds like one of those hippie bio toilets which works like its own septic tank without any chemicals, the report mentioned it being emptied once a season.

GLaDOS

"I panicked because I hate confined spaces," he told Norwegian newspaper VG.

What sort of spacious toilet was he expecting when he climbed in?

I don't know why I click on these threads.

It was a L(o)G phone!

"I did not think twice," Mr Berntsen Larsen said about his decision to go in.

Yeah, you see, that's the problem right there!

The Domonator

"Firefighters were forced to destroy the toilet, which is now out of service". :pac::pac::pac:

"The worst toilet in Scotland" scene from Trainspotting

He was in there for 20 hours, did his mate bugger off down the pub or something?

Rats?

He was in there for one hour, not 20.

"It was damn disgusting - the worst I have experienced. There were animals down there too."

Got to love his indignation.

The last line of the article is heart breaking... all for nothing in the end

Phone is water damaged anyway

Stigura

There's got to be more than this. I mean; Fcuking seriously!

I drop my phone into liquid sh1t? That's it. Game over. I'm phone shopping.

I drop my phone into a public septic tank, and my mate offers to slide in there and look for it?! Get To Fcuk!!! :eek: No Fcuking Way, Jose!

No. I smell a rat. There Was No Phone. Dirty bastards ..........

Yeah, they're the sort of friends you want

Sam Kade

I don't know why he went after it as it was only a bog standard phone anyway.

Stigura

But, had he found it? He'd have been flushed with success :rolleyes:

Fcuk me, there's some sh1tty quips on here.

Aye true.

In a way I admire him. I'd go for a night on the batter with that fella any day.

Oh crap, I've dropped my can into the liffey. Stand back mate, I know what to do...........

(not that I go drinking cans on bridges over the liffey but ya know what I mean... someone that mental has to be fun on a night out)

Peregrine

How the hell did he fit in through that??

Stigura

How'd he fit? Simple. He's slim. Ten years ago, before the beer gut got me, I could have slipped into such a hole too. Now, I'm an egg on legs


Anyway; What I'm back here about is these " Animals " that " Bit " him.

Nope. Sorry. Not buying that either. Correct me, if I'm wrong. But, I know of No animal on this living planet which introduces itself to such places ~ presumably by opening the door. Jumping up into the hole? Then, spends its life 'treading water' in liquid sewerage whilst waiting for some dickweed to bite.

It just doesn't add up. None of their story does.

Dirty bastards ..........

Ficheall

Watch the film "Septic Man".

Chancer3001

What ****ing animals live down there!?

Joe prim

I strongly suspect that some people are now reduced to engaging in toilet-based activities purely to stimulate debate on toilet-obsessed discussion fora like After Hours!





Ooh look, a turd!

Stigura

This was Norway. Not exactly Turd World ~ yet ~ is it?
