This story is a few years old, but think of it and count your blessings if you think you are having a bad Christmas. Yours might be bad, but it's not stuck-upside-down-in-a-septic-tank bad. Could there be anything worse? I submit that there is not. On December 25, 2007, an Iowa resident, Robert Schoff, 77, trying to fix a toilet problem, fell, and found himself stuck upside down in his septic tank for over an hour before his wife spotted him. After being rescued by fire fighters, Schoff said in the understatement of that year, "It was the worst Christmas Eve I've ever had."
No shit.
