Hazardous Loo

At the risk of having The BLOG called The Toilet BLOG, I want to post this story about a student in Ukraine who had to be freed by rescuers after dropping his mobile phone down a toilet and getting his arm stuck trying to retrieve it.

The man, a Lebanese national studying at Odessa's State Academy of Refrigeration, was trapped for two hours before being freed.

One more reason toilets and technology don't mix.

    Dropped my mobile in the loo once - the self-same mobile that has me tied to work 24x7.

    I swear, it was an accident.

    Honest.

    I've heard of them being dropped into Big Gulps, carwash buckets, and, yes even toilets, but I think this guy getting his arm trapped in a toilet takes the cake.

    birdwoman: of course it was an accident. I *cough cough* believe you ;-)

    That phone would have to be mighty important for me to shove my hand down a public commode.
