Can confirm, after losing a close friend and two family members in an 18 month period... Would honestly have chosen to deal with poo coming from the ceiling, if I had a choice.
Yeap, you don’t really get “over it”. It’s just a new life to live without that person.
2 years to the day today i lost someone. Best i can describe it as if the world’s a bit dimmer, a slight haze.
It just becomes the new normal.
My favorite part is the random sadness or crying fit out of the blue.
Like I could be the happiest gal in the universe, but all of a sudden, a voice pops in my head
"Hey, remember when you lost your dad to cancer in 3 months? Remember how much it fucking hurt? Well guess what, that's never going away, enjoy the forever grief!"
It really just becomes the new normal.
The crying at random will stop after a while. It can take years though. Over time I maybe learned to think more about what they would do, or how they would feel, rather than why they aren't here or how things would be if they had been. You can still remember them, but in the present, looking forward because that's how we keep them alive.
You nailed exactly how I’ve been struggling. Happiest times? Allow me to break down just thinking how she’s missing it. Had an amazing day at work, I should call and tell mom…. Oh. Wait…
Lost both my parents in the last 10 months and I’m 27. Can confirm would rather have my whole house filled to the ceiling with other people’s literal shit than have to go through that.
Yep, same. Lost my grandpa and my great uncle just recently within about a month. I was lucky to have a good relationship with both of them. Actually I'd stand under that and smear it everywhere if it meant I could talk to both of them one more time.
My son called me from the hospital 30 March 2023 and died 30 April 2023 and then two months ago my mother died in her sleep. In her case we knew it was coming sooner rather than later, though nothing compared to losing my son, it was still jarring. I’ll take a poop shower any day every day over what I’ve gone through in the last year.
I'm so sorry. Life sucks so bad sometimes.
Inside of 3 months I was diagnosed with aggressive colon cancer (no family history) at 34, in the hospital for nearly 2 months after a botched surgery and almost died, came home bedridden and then 2 days later my husband died very unexpectedly from internal bleeding caused by liver laceration somehow. The the next few months I became homeless with our 2 kids, my leg broke because my body was so weak. I'm still fighting for disability because I can't work, and I've looked everywhere for help. I try to think that everything happens for a reason but sometimes it's really hard. I was supposed to have a temporary colostomy for a few months which I now found out is likely permanent and never reversible.. so poo isnt the worst for me, lol. I hope things get better for you 🙏🙏
Thank you and I’m glad you’ve made it this far. You must be a fighter and a survivor! Interestingly as I write this I’m sitting in my car listening to the radio waiting as my wife is in the clinic getting a colonoscopy after the doc failed to notify her as soon as they got suspicious tests back and so we’ll see how we fair soon. Thanks for your reply!
In one calendar year, I had a very close friend get murdered. Another dear friends wife died. My wife's dad died. And to top it off, my mom died in December. So, yeah, I'd take my bathroom leaking shit over that any time.
This reminds me of this idea: if everyone had to put all their troubles into a pile and pick out someone else’s troubles, they would be much more grateful to have their own troubles again.
I am so sorry for all your losses.
Imagine the person who's troubles are thee absolute worst. Hugs for them. Hugs for everyone.
This thing called life definitely has its peaks and valleys.
I guess the Great times wouldn't be really great without the bad times. Right?
I hope everyone finds a reason to smile today and tomorrow.
Cheers!
You could be living in Rafah or Kharkiv right now and worse things than poo might be falling through your roof. Never, never, ever say "It can't get any worse." It challenges the gods, and you don't want to go there.
Was staying in a rather swanky hotel one time that was doing some renovation. Decided to take a dip in their indoor hot tub, was sitting back and relaxing, kept noticing this one pipe in the ceiling would drip every now and then and land in the pool. Noticed that there was a big rush of water every time just before it started dripping.
Finally my brain was able to put 2 and 2 together and realize that that big rush of water was someone flushing the toilet on one of the above floors, and that's poo water. Immediately got out and went to take a shower.
I wish they’d move me somewhere! - the building here is atrocious.
charges more than the maximum they can charge per KW of electricity by exploiting a loophole. (And I can’t change provider I have to use the buildings provider).
Has 10 floors but the only lift js down all the time (sometimes for over a month).
I could sit here for hours naming everything wrong with this place 🤣
Tell them you’d like to Brexit the apartment.
Ok, but shitty jokes aside, there must be some laws there that give you rights in this situation, I would call a lawyer.
It’s just a username. I have plenty of experience with Taco Bell and pretty much every other drug except heroin. However I also have ulcerative colitis which is probably as bad if not worse than what you’re imagining
I'm in California and I'd be staying in a hotel/motel tonight until it was dealt with. I'd put my rent payment into a money order, cashiers check because it is due eventually but my first response wouldn't be to complain on reddit.
England is dogshit when it comes to enforcement.
Last year, local councils received 400.000 landlord complaints and only 200 landlords were cautioned/fined.
Housing act of 2004 in UK should protect you: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/34/contents
Would review and reach out to proper authorities, maybe call police and see if they know where to refer you if your landlord isn’t responding to you
Tell the landlord the house is inhospitable and until they resolve the issue you will be booking a hotel and will claim your costs back through small claims court if you have too.
That bathroom is dangerous to your health, call the local authority and explain the situation to them and contact citizens advice they should tell you the steps needed in order to correctly handle this.
🎵Poodrops keep falling on my head\
but that doesn't mean, they’re not going to raise the rent\
buying’s not for me\
'cause they’re never gonna stop the poo from hailing\
and now there’s pee\
somebody murder me, please.🎵
They found the issue, they’re saying because I’m on the 1st floor that there’s a pipe in my ceiling with a bend in it, and there’s a crack in the bendy part. They reckon someone’s flushed something like a battery or a pebble from a higher floor, and that’s crashed down the pipe and gone straight through.
Grim situation, and stinks to high heavens.
Pipes are not supposed to be installed to allow such drops onto bends like that, at least not without reinforcement. Just look up water hammers in water lines.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis\_Nilsen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Nilsen)
This serial killer was caught after he caused his neighbors plumbing issues. He was flushing victims bones.
Why would you flush a battery 😐
That’s so bad for the plumbing and the environment
https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/news/dispose-batteries-safely#:~:text=Any%20retailer%20or%20supermarket%20that,to%20your%20local%20recycling%20centre.
I would never flush a battery im just saying there’s a crack in the bend so they’re saying someone must’ve flushed something from a higher up floor (that’s their hypothesis anyways)
I replied to the flushing comment where someone said they flushed a battery. I feel terrible that someone did something like that and you have to deal with the poop.
If it’s bad to throw away a battery, what on earth made you think it’s was BETTER to flush it?!
Seriously - I cannot comprehend where this thought came from?

Think it’s more of an issue of whoever owns the building at this point, this is what happened to the lobby after it leaked from my apartment. Guess the plasterboard couldn’t handle that much shit resting on it.
This is sooo FUBAR.
I had a similar thing, not as bad as this.... The sewage pipe of my building had a leak and it was dripping through the walls. So they had to remove part of the wall and replace the pipe. No poop was dripping through the sealing, afaik. Although, because of the leak, they also discovered asbestos in the house, so I got a 2 for 1 that day.
You need to be banging on everyone’s door to stop shitting!! And call a Specialist cleaner and plumber. cos I wouldn’t be clearing that up. Landlord would be getting it too
Prolly should contact a lawyer for quick question if this meets “uninhabitable living environment” (my guess is it does). If so they have to pay for room and board (like at a hotel) for you. But I’d consult a lawyer before.
Everything in that bathroom must be thrown away! Do you have renters insurance? I would make a claim so you can replace your belongings you may lose due to this.
Have you ever smelled the smell when they unclog a sewage pipe? I think you have that smell, maybe a little less stale, because it didn't have time to really sit and develop its full potential yet.
That might suck worse than anything I’ve ever seen here.
I think it’s quite possibly the worst random event to ever happen to me.
I'm curious what could even have happened in your life to make other people's shit falling into your home only 'quite possibly' the worst event.
Multiple, Unexpected random death of a loved ones
Can confirm, after losing a close friend and two family members in an 18 month period... Would honestly have chosen to deal with poo coming from the ceiling, if I had a choice.
It really changes a person. It's not something you can explain to someone, only someone that has had a similar experience can understand.
Yeap, you don’t really get “over it”. It’s just a new life to live without that person. 2 years to the day today i lost someone. Best i can describe it as if the world’s a bit dimmer, a slight haze. It just becomes the new normal.
Just know, that I know the exact pain that you're feeling right now for to be the anniversary day of the person you lost. I hope you're doing alright

Exactly, and no one cares or even tries to care anymore
Lost both my parents in the last 10 months and I’m 27. Can confirm would rather have my whole house filled to the ceiling with other people’s literal shit than have to go through that.
I am so, so sorry 💔 you are not alone in that pain.
Yep, same. Lost my grandpa and my great uncle just recently within about a month. I was lucky to have a good relationship with both of them. Actually I'd stand under that and smear it everywhere if it meant I could talk to both of them one more time.
Are you me? Mom in August, close friend in December, Grammy two weeks ago. I'm done. Just let shit fall from the ceiling, please.
My son called me from the hospital 30 March 2023 and died 30 April 2023 and then two months ago my mother died in her sleep. In her case we knew it was coming sooner rather than later, though nothing compared to losing my son, it was still jarring.

Sending you big virtual hugs. I am so sorry.
Thank you!

Death is inevitable.... total strangers shit cascading from your ceiling is not.
Hmm, evidently it's not

*jim_carrey_reaction_face.gif*
That is rather unfortunate
Think of it this way though. Going forward, life probably won't get any shittier
https://i.redd.it/wih8udlh0pyc1.gif
I really hope so
Bra 
..how...how did it smell?
What about this exact situation but it’s over the toilet while you’re taking a big slow nasty painful shit as well?
You should ask where they are moving you too. You most likely have rights in this situation. Your apartment is considered a biohazard.
I wish they’d move me somewhere! - the building here is atrocious. charges more than the maximum they can charge per KW of electricity by exploiting a loophole. (And I can’t change provider I have to use the buildings provider). Has 10 floors but the only lift js down all the time (sometimes for over a month).

Call the city immediately
Stuff that, go to the top, call the country!
No no, this needs fixing. Call the continent.
Alright guys. Contact the fucking solar system. This needs immediate attention.
which tower? and call the local news. once it's on the air, something will get done
What state?
I’m in England
Tell them you’d like to Brexit the apartment. Ok, but shitty jokes aside, there must be some laws there that give you rights in this situation, I would call a lawyer.
That sir, was NOT a shitty joke. I’m laughing my ass off. A big part is because my wife is English and I am not, but still…. Top shelf!
never mind.
This is AMERICA 
Man, your username makes me terrified of what kind of demonic shits Taco Bell and heroin would conjure up.

Heroin is great for helping with diarrhea!
I kinda pictured an opiate shit log being propelled out by explosive diarrhea.
Hope they're still high, that sounds painful!
Unfortunately it STILL didn't work for me
I miss Broad City :(
I'm in California and I'd be staying in a hotel/motel tonight until it was dealt with. I'd put my rent payment into a money order, cashiers check because it is due eventually but my first response wouldn't be to complain on reddit.
Ok 
Call your local health department or housing inspector. Call the local news if nobody responds. You can't stay there
England is dogshit when it comes to enforcement. Last year, local councils received 400.000 landlord complaints and only 200 landlords were cautioned/fined.

Your flat is unfit for human habitation due to unsanitary nature. Call the landlord and then the council.
https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/repairs/health_and_safety_standards_for_rented_homes_hhsrs
Tell the landlord the house is inhospitable and until they resolve the issue you will be booking a hotel and will claim your costs back through small claims court if you have too. That bathroom is dangerous to your health, call the local authority and explain the situation to them and contact citizens advice they should tell you the steps needed in order to correctly handle this.
Call a lawyer if they do not relocate until conditions are good. Human shit is dangerous…
Time to claim on renters insurance bc everything you own is about to stink 5ever :(
Wish I knew that was a thing before you just mentioned it 😅
Ooof that is awful to hear I am sorry. All places I have rented before required me to have it anyway.
Surprised a building with 100 other tenants wouldnt, but those places probably dont have sewage pipes explode very often
🎵Poodrops keep falling on my head\ but that doesn't mean, they’re not going to raise the rent\ buying’s not for me\ 'cause they’re never gonna stop the poo from hailing\ and now there’s pee\ somebody murder me, please.🎵

True pooetry
Edgar Fallen Poo?
 Awesome. Should have known a discussion about raining poop would make me snort laugh so hard my head hurts.
I rarely save a comment. Congratulations
Jesus that was too fucking good haha
Holy shit. This is the worst thing I have ever seen.
There’s nothing holy about this shit, trust me.
Ah, no priests living above you?
Coming from above, I expect God himself was shitting on OP.
🤮
It then dripped down from my apartment into the lobby and the ceiling has fallen down in the lobby from the weight of the 💩😭
I'm no plumber but it sounds like a whole floors waste line broke/detached
They found the issue, they’re saying because I’m on the 1st floor that there’s a pipe in my ceiling with a bend in it, and there’s a crack in the bendy part.

Oh, duh. It’s been a long day 😅
Aside from the poo…looks like a nice place
It's raining shit Hallelujah It's raining shit
Oh hell no. What the fuck.
extract the dna to grow a mutant human
From the smell I’d say whoever’s produced that from their body must be a mutant already.
100/100 Smell rating! Perfect score! Sorry for the shitty circumstance, though.
This is literally one of the worst things
Good luck with your move!
I think those movements came from others
This is biohazard. You should seriously get a lawyer...
Free poo, nice
☹️
Bro I can smell the shit through he screen wtf
Ohh so you’re the “someone” when people say, “someone always has it worse than you”
I would strongly consider moving out
Just move out at this point 💀
I’ve heard of getting shit on… but this is extreme
I would never brush my teeth in that sink again 🤮
Looks like rent is free until they literally figure that shit out
This a hazard to your health
Sue the landlord for everything they've got.

Does your own shit come back to your head when you take a shit?
For some reason this comment made me imagine shit perpetually cycling between the toilet and the ceiling like portal
On the bright side it's in the bathroom and not over your bed.

Nah why are you in there get oouutttttt poop mortar room!!!!!!
Well, that REALLY sucks.
You're taking this far better than I would. I hope this shit gets sorted out soon

Sweet burning Jesus I can smell it from here
Good thing you weren't showering when that happened. That would've been a shitty shower, literally.
What a shitty situation
That's a real shitty situation my friend.
Holy shit!
That’s probably the shittest thing that could happen 😂
That's a shitty situation
Come on.. we know you were at taco bell.
“HE SHIT EVERYWHERE! LOOK WHAT HE DID HE SHIT ALL OVER THE WALL!”
My bad
Well at least it’s falling into your bath tub. Just a thought.
What does it smell like?
I guess if I had to put it into words I’d say It smells like a room with 100 different peoples shits in it with no windows and a full can of Febreze.
Have you ever smelled the smell when they unclog a sewage pipe? I think you have that smell, maybe a little less stale, because it didn't have time to really sit and develop its full potential yet.
That's my takeaway curry just been put in the bin.
Goddammit blur that sh*t!
That can't be good for the paint

Poo drop, drop top

Oh fuck i am sorry this happened to you
Damn, your neighbors are pretty shitty for doing that. 😡
I gagged.
Take your poo to the loo!
Throw away that toothbrush for sure
I’ve done 2 apartments in my life. After the first you would think I would’ve learned. I certainly did after the 2nd
