Recently, a man learned two vital yet straightforward lessons:
1. Toilets cannot flush away potatoes.
2. Triggering a fire alarm seldom resolves issues unrelated to fire.
This unnamed individual came to these realizations after inexplicably pouring potatoes down his toilet, which predictably resulted in a blockage.
Believing that building maintenance in his Delaware County, Pennsylvania apartment complex was not addressing his emergency swiftly enough, he triggered the fire alarm to seek their attention.
As a result, the entire building had to be evacuated, and firefighters arrived under the impression that there was an actual emergency.
Upon informing the police that he was responsible for the alarm and explaining his reasoning, he was quickly taken into custody.
A spokesperson for the police announced that charges will be filed against the man.
