    One of my roomies did this one year when I was in college. He’d left his graduation gown hanging on the sprinkler in the bathroom, and he’d been drinking a bit (oops, dry campus, he got in trouble for that). I didn’t see it happen, but I heard the sound of running water and “OH FUCKING SHIT! SHIT!” etc.

    They turned off the water pretty quickly, but then apparently someone had flushed a toilet on the other side of the building right before they shut the water off, so when they turned ON the water again, it flooded THAT side.

    It was a brand-new dorm, too. Oof.
