Outdoor Toilet Misadventure

To quote from a report out of Michigan:

Talk about your worst nightmare: A woman who tried to retrieve her Apple Watch from the muck of an Ostego County outhouse got stuck and had to be rescued by first responders.

According to news release from the Michigan State Police, first responders were called to the outhouse at the Department of Natural Resources boat launch on Dixon lake after bystanders heard calls for help from the outhouse.

The unidentified woman had lowered herself into the toilet to get her watch back, which rested atop all that poop. When first responders from Otsego County Emergency Medical Services, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Michigan State Police got to the scene, they removed the toilet seat, then lowered a strap to the woman, and hoisted her out.

“She was in the muck, if you will,” said MSP spokesman Derrick Carroll.

The police release included this advisory:

If you lose an item in an outhouse toilet, do not attempt to venture inside the containment area. Serious injury may occur.
