The firefighters had never seen anything like it. Mr Peter McNightmare was anti social and wanted to piss of the landlord so he left the taps running, blocked the plugholes, now he had airtight doors and windows and these were watertight too. The house gradually filled up. You would think the water would eventually drain through the toilet but he had blocked it with expanding foam. The air vents were also blocked. The water level rose up, filled the ground floor and the upstairs. The house was made of mass concrete, same as a dam and it held water like a tank, there were no leaks at all. The emergency services turned off the electricity, gas and water. This was a delicate situation. It was impossible to open the door with the water pressure on it. There was a lot of strain on the windows. How could they avoid making it worse? They evacuated the area. It was decided to pump the water out through the roof. Meanwhile the house had become so heavy that it was sinking on its foundations. And you thought you were having a bad day?
