“I will never understand this prank and how people think it’s funny. Horrible. “
People raised by violent abusive parents (who think they’re being funny or “just toughening you up”) have no idea how inappropriate or dangerous their behavior is.
I don’t understand the relatives in this idiot stunt, nor do I understand the sleaze behind suing the toilet manufacturers over idiot relatives. Everyone in the family is stupid, greedy, sleazy, or all of the above, and the manufacturer has to pay? Frivolous lawsuits disgust me.
“Strict Liability” combined with “Deep Pockets”. Ain’t the legal system in this state grand?
Nothing good has ever happened in a Port-a-Potty.
Stupidity has no bounds.
That is definitely insane.
Why not sue the manufacturer of the truck, the dealership they bought it from, the gas station where they bought their gas etc?
Why stop at the manufacturer of the outhouse?
Maybe - in a stretch - the company that set it up. But isn’t that like suing the contractor that built your house that was destroyed in an earthquake for shoddy workmanship?
Course I am probably giving the Ambulance Chasers some ideas here while trying to be completely facetious.
Bad enough; but done by his in-laws? Trouble in paradise forever.
I will never understand why the manufacturer was sued and not the idiot relatives. Though, I'm pretty sure their pockets just weren't deep enough. Nonetheless, it's an injustice.
That is not a prank, that's abuse. I have been in construction a long time and a prank is locking the door for a short time, throwing something against the side making a loud noise to startle someone. You don't need to back a truck against a unit to block the door, and then there are the morons who think it's funny to completely flip over the porta potty with someone inside. Do that to me and won't be me going to the hospital!
My dad tells the story of tipping out houses as a teen in the 50s...so it isn’t something new with porta potties... the best one he ever told though was when they couldn’t tip it, the old man came out the door (pants around his knees) while they took like greased lightening.... Dad remembered to duck the clothes line... all he heard from his buddy was gack.. he looked back to two feet straight out in the air (he’d forgotten the clothes line). Dad says he assumed he was dead and kept hauling... the other boy survived... no word if he was caught.
Not saying it’s right...sure does make a good story though.
