Scott Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Can you imagine spending a few hours in a coffee shop and then getting injured by a toilet popping up in the middle of the street? Only in Amsterdam. You got love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpinx Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I love the Dutch sense of humour -- they'll not know whether to laugh or be indignant about this one !! .....and who says "..only in Thailand" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby nz Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Would seem that he wasn't actually injured by the toilet but by a motorbike that was for some strange reason in a position where it could be flung aside when the toilet erupted.

WitawatWatawit Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 What if the opposite happens and you're taking a leak when the toilet suddenly plummets below the ground.? Cringe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 What if the opposite happens and you're taking a leak when the toilet suddenly plummets below the ground.? Cringe. I think if that happened, I would also crap. I'd hate to get caught in the toilet when it descended and had to wait their all day until it re-emerged at night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frollywolly Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) I was in one of these dastardly self cleaning toilet contraptions when it kicked into gear and cycled through the cleaning cycle. Twice! Not a pop up though! Edited November 30, 2014 by frollywolly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
