Work: Leaked

Leaked

By honeybee2487 - 30/08/2011 17:35 - United States

Today, at work, I heard a weird sound coming from the ceiling. As I looked up to see what it was, a huge splash of water hit me in the face. I called mall maintenance to let them know. They told me they already knew about the leak… from the sewage line. FML

Same thing different taste

I'm pissed

Today, my work finally hired someone to replace some leaky pipes. I work in the basement by myself, and just as I walked under the newly-fixed pipes, I got soaked with what appeared to be water. Apparently it was connected to a toilet. My boss couldn't find a replacement, so they made me work covered in piss. FML

Today, I awoke to find a water pipe burst. I frantically ran down to the basement to turn off the water to the house. What I didn't expect when I reached the bottom of the stairs was to have to start dodging the falling, wet ceiling tiles. FML

Today, I wasn't feeling well at work. While I was in the bathroom losing my lunch, a very large piece of food came up. The resulting splash of toilet water went straight up into my mouth. FML

Today, I found out that the peaceful rain I'd been listening to all night was really a broken water-main flooding my entire yard. FML

Today, I came home to find water dripping from the ceiling in my apartment laundry room/pantry. All of my groceries were ruined. Maintenance's suggestion? "Put a bucket under it." FML

Today, the maintenance man 'fixed' a leak in my apartment by flooding the place. FML

Today, I went to take a dump at work, but the last person in the stall didn't flush. As I flushed for him, the shitty water splashed on my face. Some went in my mouth. FML

Best seat in the house

By Rachey - 10/09/2024 00:00 - Ireland

Today, I was using the toilet at a friend's house when the toilet made a strange gurgling noise. Thinking it was just old plumbing, I flushed. The water started rising... and rising. Before I knew it, water, and whatever was in the toilet, began overflowing and flooding the bathroom. I had to go ask for help, and a mop. FML

Pumped-up Tanks

By DogStew - 15/09/2019 20:00

Today, at work I had to spend 2 hours cleaning up stinky toilet water. Why? Because yesterday, I forgot to turn on the septic tank pumps. The tank overflowed, and so did all the toilets. My boss is not happy. FML

Lawsuit? Who exactly would be sued, and for what? Please enlighten us.

.the place of business, for not providing a safe environment for working. If the plumbing is faulty, what else is? What the person comes down with an infection from this. What if it had be a hot water pipeline and they received 2nd and 3rd degree burns?

Um, right. What if, what if, what if. Shit happens. Literally, in this case. You can't go suing everyone for anything that goes wrong, especially when it's no one's fault.

I agree with Doc. I mean, there is enough sue-age America as it is. Just because you can sue somebody doesn't mean that you should.

Folks, I promise you.... There are (conservatively) a million lawyers in this Country who have made their fortunes by winning Civil lawsuits against people who said they could never be sued. Anyone, anywhere, at anytime, can sue over anything... and win. Forget this gem of wisdom at your own peril!

Dude. Re-read the FML. They knew about the leak and neglected to fix it. That right there IS their fault. They are liable for any damages that may occur in their place of business. Pick up a business law text book and read it. This could have been avoided.
