Weight Watchers clinic floor collapses under dieters The floor of a Weight Watchers clinic in Sweden collapsed beneath a group of 20 members of the weight loss programme who were gathered for a meeting.

As the dieters queued to see how many pounds they had shed, the floor beneath them in the clinic in Växjö, in south-central Sweden, began to rumble, according to a report in The Local, Sweden's English-language newspaper. "We suddenly heard a huge thud; we almost thought it was an earthquake and everything flew up in the air. The floor collapsed in one corner of the room and along the walls," one Weight Watchers participant told the Smålandsposten newspaper.
Soon, the fault lines spread around the room, and other sections of the floor gave way. Luckily, all of the dieters escaped uninjured and managed to move the scales to the corridor, which was not damaged in the accident, and were able to complete their weekly weigh in. The cause of the floor's collapse remains under investigation.
"The cause of the floor's collapse remains under investigation. " Really? Seriously, as a current WW member (although I do it online and weigh in at home) I think that this would just be mortifying. Imagine the crap these people are getting...I am glad no one was hurt and that they continued the meeting...Good for them!
yeah, I'm sure it must have been pretty embarassing for them. I'm not sure how I'd react in their shoes, but after I'd got out I'd probably be laughing,
Toilet Trouble After Mobile Phone Mishap

A man in China found himself engaged in a embarrassing moment after he dropped his mobile phone down a toilet. Rescue workers found the hapless gentleman hunched over the toilet with his arm trapped down the loo pipe. They had to break the bowl to free his arm, which was completely immersed up to his shoulder in the U-bend. It took the rescuers 10 minutes to liberate him using crowbars and hammers. The incident took place in a toilet cubicle in the eastern province of Jiangsu.
The man eventually managed to walk away from the scene with cuts, bruises and a very wet phone.
