This afternoon, after lunch, I laid down for a bit and opened my security camera app. As soon as I opened the office feed, I jumped: the floor was covered in water. I bolted out of bed, grabbed a quick coffee, and raced to the office.
The moment I opened the door, the scene was way worse than I had imagined. It wasn't water; it was sewage. It had backed up through the toilet and flooded everything. It must have come up with some force, too, because the toilet and the floor around it were... well, let's just say it was a splatter scene, worse than any horror movie I've ever seen.
Of course, since it's Saturday afternoon, the building manager is unreachable. I managed to get a hold of a drainage company, but they won't be able to actually do the job until Monday. However, the owner of the company rushed over and at least managed to unblock the main drain.
It looks like someone on the upper floors (probably the University students on the top floor) had been flushing napkins, dental floss, hair, tissues, pads, etc., which created a clog at the outlet to the public sewers. The last video I saw from the camera was from Thursday morning, and it was still dry back then. Basically, every time someone upstairs used the bathroom, everything they flushed ended up in my office.
So, would it be fair to say I’ve had a shitty afternoon?

@neil thank you. Yes, it was horrble. And I'm afraid it could happen again in the coming days.

OMG! It would absolutely be fair to say you've had a shitty afternoon and some ! Hope you get everything sorted and there's not too much damage to stuff that cannot be replaced ?
I guess those students have definitely put the SH in IT. Sorry.

Although it does not sound like a pleasant experience. I now have the image in my mind of that toilet from Deperado.
