DES MOINES, Iowa — Christmas Eve stunk for Robert Schoff.
The 77-year-old Des Moines man got stuck in his septic tank.
"It wasn't good, I'll tell you what," Schoff told the Des Moines Register. "It was the worst Christmas Eve I've ever had."
Schoff's holiday adventure started Monday when he dug a hole and reached inside to find a clog. He lost his balance and became wedged in the opening of the tank.

EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW, either way.
Hope you had a nice Christmas.
The link must be getting a lot of traffic, I can’t get it to open.
Regardless, that must’ve been COLD as well as stinky.
All joking aside, my husband nearly reached too far into a hole once (not a sewer-type hole)....and almost got caught upside down with nobody there to help him out.
He managed to get his body back up on the side and out of the hole, but it was scarey for him for a minute. I’m not sure what would’ve happened if he landed upside down like that for any length of time with nobody around. Don’t want to think about it.
I must admit, all of the sudden mine doesn’t seem so bad.
This thread makes me think mine could have been worse.
That is something.
Let’s see....(weighing motion) What I went through..or a septic tank...
hhmmmm, that’s a hard one, but i pick....my own Christmas!!!!!
Okay, this guy wins the Your Christmas Eve Does NOT Rule contest.
I agree. (and that is hard to do considering my christmas.)
Let’s trade horror stories, so we won’t feel so bad. I’ll PM you later.
PM coming your way.
ABC NewsAlleged Outhouse 'Peeping Tom' Says He Was Looking for Wedding Ring
CONWAY, N.H. -- …Gary Moody, 45, pleaded not guilty on July 18 to trespassing and disorderly conduct for his arrest in June after a teenage girl noticed him looking at her from the depths of a toilet seat. In court documents, police reported that Moody insisted he was not doing anything wrong and had gone into the sewage tank to retrieve a wedding ring he had accidentally dropped while changing clothes.
"He told me that he was changing clothes when he dropped his wedding ring into he toilet," Carroll County Sheriff's Capt. Jon Herbert wrote in his report. "He said the ring was very valuable and he did not want to return home without it."
Police said they examined the sewage and did not find a wedding ring. Moody, Herbert wrote, said he lowered himself directly through the toilet opening…

Don’t strike a match ~ methane gas, goes boom!
My Christmas was groovy ~ how was yours?
crappy.
Wow ~ that’s the sh*ts!!
That story stinks.
Feet in the air, head down in the tank, but didn’t drown?
Okay, his head was above the waste level...and he didn’t asphyxiate from the poison gasses? Or, at least pass out? An HOUR of waving his legs in the air?!?
Looking for a clog, but opened up the tank instead of the clean-outs?
I’ve lived with septic tanks (and outhouses) for over 40 of my 60+ years. They have vents for a reason, and being able to breath inside one isn’t it.
People DIE just trying to retrive items that fell into an outhouse pit. They die just climbing into supposedly cleaned out stock-waste digestion tanks on farms...as do the two or three more that try to climb in & pull the one ahead of them out.
Somebody is funning somebody at the Register.
