The Office Poop Problem
I thought this was funny.About a month ago the handle on the toilet in my office broke. No big deal. I ended up calling Bud to fix it rather then put in a work order for the building maintenance to take care of it (which would have taken days). After Bud fixed the handle, he mentioned that the water valve should be looked at because it was getting rusty and in the event of a water emergency, you wouldn't be able to turn the water off.
Well, now the City of WP is tearing up the road in front of my building to brick it. During the process they busted the sewer main. Another girl and I heard noises from the toilet all morning, but we were told it was just because of the water pressure change from the construction. Not the case. All of a sudden we heard a loud chocking sound. We ran to the bathroom, opened the door and saw (I'm not kidding you) nasty sewer mess shooting up from the toilet. It would have been one thing if it was ours, but it was coming from the main sewer line, so it could have been anyone. Disgusting, but visually hilarious!
We ran outside to get some of the workers to help us. Their first instinct was to turn the water off, but the valve was rusted and their was poopy water mess shooting all over. They ended having to shut off the entire sewer line. There was toilet nasty all over the bathroom, hallway, the safe deposit box room and seeping in to the vault. I would say it was enough sewer nasty to cover a guest bedroom and bathroom and about 2-3 inches deep.
We've had crews in and out trying to clean it up. So far so good, but when it comes to poop (especially if it's not mine), I'm not taking any chances.
