The idea of getting stuck inside the tank of a public toilet sounds like it would - quite literally - be shit. Puns aside, this is exactly what happened to one Norwegian lad, after his mate dropped his phone down the crapper.
Cato Berntsen Larsen volunteered to go full Trainspotting and retrieve his mate's phone, as out of the two of them he was the only one they thought slim enough to get down there. Or at least that's the reason his chum gave. Unluckily for him he ended up getting stuck in the tank.
"I was obviously slim enough to get into it, but not slim enough to get out. I was down there for one hour, and it was very unpleasant," Larsen told local newspaper Drammens Tidende.
Unluckily for him the toilet wasn't connected to the sewer system. Instead, it was an old-fashioned outhouse-style loo, meaning it is only emptied once a season.
He continued: "It was disgusting as hell. The worst thing I have ever experienced. Animals were down there too. I will never enter a toilet again. Now my body hurts, and I will go home and get some rest."

Sleeping it off is really the only reasonable thing to do in a situation like that.
Poor toilet-venturer Cato suffered minor injuries to his arms, as well as several animal bites, which were treated with antibiotics.
Local section manager Kristine Høibraaten said that the toilet had been installed in the 1990s and it was, believe it or not, the first time anyone has fallen into toilet tank.
"The tank is normally emptied only once a year. This is a very sad incident. Normally it shall be very difficult to fall into this toilet", Høibraaten says.
I should fucking hope it doesn't happen regularly to be honest, I can't imagine anything worse.
