article said:
A woman who threw her poo out of her date's toilet window because it "would not flush" had to be rescued after she got stuck trying to retrieve it.

The amateur gymnast was on a first date with Bristol student Liam Smith when she "panicked" and threw the faeces out of the window.

It did not land in the garden, but became wedged between two non-opening windows.

After climbing in head first after it, she became wedged.

Mr Smith had to call the fire service for help.

The story appeared on a crowdfunding page, set up by the University of Bristol student.

Mr Smith, who is raising funds to fix his broken window, wrote that he was on a Tinder date with the woman and they went back to the shared house he lives in.

"We'd had a really nice evening," he said. "We'd had a meal at a well-known chicken restaurant, had a few beers and then gone back to mine for a bottle of wine and a film."

He said the woman went to the toilet and when she came back she had a "panicked look in her eye" and told him what she had done.

He said the toilet window opened into a narrow gap separated by another double glazed window.

"It was into this twilight zone that my date had thrown her poo," he said.

He went to find a hammer to smash the window, but she decided to "climb in head first" after the "offending package" and became jammed.

"I was starting to grow concerned, so I called the fire brigade and once they had composed themselves, they set to work removing her from the window."

Although the woman was rescued unharmed, Mr Smith said his bathroom window was destroyed.

"I'm not complaining, they did what they had to do," he said.

"Problem is, I've been quoted north of £300 to replace the window and as a postgraduate student, that is a significant chunk of my monthly budget."

Mr Smith originally set a crowdfunding target of £200, but has already raised more than £1,200.

He said he and his date had decided to split the extra cash between two charities, one supporting firefighters and another that builds and maintains flushing toilets in developing countries.

Unsurprisingly, the woman does not want to be named but Mr Smith said he had seen her since and "who knows what the future holds".

"We had a lovely night on the second date but it's too early to say if she's the one. But we got on very very well and she's a lovely girl," he said.

"And we've already got the most difficult stuff out of the way first."

Avon Fire and Rescue service confirmed it had received a call and freed a woman trapped between external and double glazing.

It also confirmed that a "window was broken in the process".

Seems a much better fit for OT, so I moved it from P&N.

Oh boy.

LOL, that is true. While insanely embarrassing, hopefully they (especially her) can laugh about it and it doesn't affect their relationship if he's still interested in her. If that's the worst thing that happens in their relationship then I'd consider them lucky. You'll always have a good story to tell, lol.

i'm trying to understand the mechanics. Why are there 2 non-opening windows and how does something get stuck between them if they don't open? Is this some sort of weird British architectural quirk? Paint diagrams appreciated

so . . . only the top half of the inside window opens, and somehow she didn't notice the other window inches away? I'm still trying to figure out why this whole double window arrangement exists in the first place

now that's a bonding experience.

But I still don't understand how this window works.

I would really like to know, did he not have a plunger? Is that not a common bathroom accessory for Brits?

And as embarassing as it might be, there is no way in hell that I'm fishing my turd out of a toilet to do anything with it, much less throw it out of a damn window even if it is a fully functional non-weirdasshit window.

This is one of those few times where I see a headline and think "let me guess, Florida?" and I actually turn out to be wrong. Even wrong country!

imagine being that girl tho. seeing this headline all of the fucking place. your turd fishing expedition gone awry has made planetary news! one slip up and that name being found means any employer searching for her on google would find this story!

the only reason this is news is because the guy is running a gofundme to replace the window

if i had been her, i would have paid for that window by any means necessary

and if i was a woman, i would never date a guy who would expose me to global ridicule over $500

Unless the woman is in on it too (the article said they have seen more of each other after the "incident"), and they both just want the money. The gofundme has already exceeded the window replacement cost by 4x.
