 A man in Christchurch, New Zealand was enjoying his evening porcelain meditation when all of a sudden he had an unexpected visitor in the form of a four-wheel-drive truck (not pictured). Let this be an important lesson that, when parking on a hill, you need to engage that handbrake properly. Also, don't put your bathroom on the bottom of thirty-foot-long hill. Police said the vehicle belonged to a contractor next door who was a little displeased to find out that said truck was suddenly parked in someone else's house. Our favorite part below the jump.
From the article: When the home owner was asked how the builder might be feeling, he reportedly said: "What about me? I got knocked off the toilet. I got a hell of a fright." Seriously, it scared the crap out of him. [ News.com.au, photo Photobucket]
