Exploding toilets, the weapon you didn’t know existed

Wow, you gotta know that your life sucks to a major degree when the toilet you are sitting on decides to explode while you are sitting on it.

Such is the case for some poor woman at the General Services Administration Building in DC who ended up at the hospital with non-life threatening injures following the explosion. As a result employees have been warned not to use the bathrooms in the building because the plumbing is considered armed and dangerous; well dangerous at least.

“DO NOT flush toilets or use any domestic water. Due to a mechanical failure, there is high air pressure in the domestic water system that resulted in damage to toilets. The engineering staff is working to correct the issue,” the memo said. “There has been damage to flushed toilets that has resulted in injuries. We will announce when the issue is resolved.”
