Wait...is that....???

My oldest son woke up after a late night of (well....whatever it is 20 yr olds do....) to find this is his bathroom:



I couldn't help but laugh hysterically....that's just too damn funny. We still can't quite figure out what happened, but we think it was the result of someone else several floors above him taking a shower.

Lol - That's epic.

He should pop to the doctor and get that checked out!!!

But seriously, I would get someone in to have a look at that, could end up causing some damage if it keeps happening.

Thanks for sharing,

What are you feeding him???


Had you washed his mouth out recently for swearing!!?

Well... It depends...

If he had a night of what I would describe as carousing with the lads, then it is perfectly possible that one of his esteemed associates might have placed some highly bubbly mixture into the cistern, knowing that a flush would create a tube of delight such as this.

Look on the bright side though, at least the toilet is clean as a whistle now!

looks like something is blocking the air vent for the plumbing and so it is escaping where it can possible his toilet didn't have enough water in the P trap so it easily came up through there

At least he wasn't sitting on it when it foamed up. That is really funny though.

That is quite possible....but what on earth would cause bubbles to do that without a moving source (running water)?

a reply to: CIAGypsy

not so much from a shower but a wash machine

a reply to: CIAGypsy

Swamp gas!

I know he tried to flush it once and it only started to grow....

He let it sit for a couple of hours and it seems to be dissipating.

a reply to: CIAGypsy

Love the pic!!

I am impressed he left the seat down and actually uses the roller holder! Can he teach those skills to my husband???

a reply to: Skid Mark

Could you imagine that happening? Rofl.... That is the only thing that could make this whole thing even funnier.

a reply to: CIAGypsy

definately sounds like plumbing air vent blockage from that discription I have seen similar but not to that extent.

Did he check under the lid of the tank to be sure no one was punking him?

a reply to: ChesterJohn

Yes...his dad told him to take the lid off to see if the toilet was running somehow. It wasn't...nothing abnormal in the tank.

I don't know if anyone asked around to see if a washer was running somewhere.... I'll tell him to check.

a reply to: CIAGypsy

those small closet type of washer and dryers they use in apartments but it would still be about the P trap not having enough water to block the gas bubbles from the detergent escaping through his toilet. Most of the time the vent gets filled with the bubbles but when it is blocked by a bird nest or clogged above where it can't escape it will come through toilets, tubs and sinks that have small p traps first.

Your son went partying last night. Could he have been so drunk and talking on the great white telephone that he was foaming at the mouth, lol?

a reply to: CIAGypsy

It would probably tickle. Unless it burned. Then he'd be running through the house like his ass was on fire, which is what it would feel like. YAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, this thread cracked me up!!!!!

Thanks for making me laugh! I needed that!
