Dived into a mountain of doo all for a Mountain Dew.
The whacko who had to be cut out of a porta-potty toilet bowl by Kansas City firefighters in a viral video had been trapped inside the john for eight hours after crawling into the waste holding tank to retrieve his fallen soda bottle.
The man said he had gone fishing in the portable toilet for his fallen Mountain Dew when he somehow ended up fully inside the facility’s raw sewage tank, according to a representative for Patriot Portable Restrooms, which provided the porta-johns for a World Cup event.
Patriot Portable Restrooms crews were performing a routine check of the facilities and knocked on each porta-potty to ensure all were empty for towing, company partner Chip Counterman said in a video statement on X.
When a unit was found locked, and the occupant refused to leave the porta-potty after a 10-minute warning, a worker flagged down a passing Kansas City police officer on a motorcycle.
The officer demanded to know why the man had not left the porta-potty. The unidentified nut bizarrely explained, “he could not reach the door and couldn’t get out of the toilet,” according to Counterman.
The worker and the cop pried the john’s door open and were stunned to find it completely empty.
“They looked inside and didn’t see anybody. The lid was closed. No one was in the restroom. It kind of startled them,” Counterman said.
“All of a sudden, a head popped out of the toilet and he said, ‘I’m in here.’”
The pair called the fire department, which used handheld saws to cut the porta-potty hostage out of the plastic toilet tank and then hosed him down with water from its fire truck.
The man told first responders he had been trying to retrieve a Mountain Dew bottle he had dropped inside the waste tank the night before, Counterman said.
If true, that would mean the nutjob was in the porta-potty tank for eight hours before he was liberated from the crappy situation.
