US bobsledder forced to smash thru Sochi bathroom door

US bobsledder forced to smash thru Sochi bathroom door
2/8/2014 2:42pm by John Aravosis 11 Comments


The potty problems continue in Sochi, Russia, as a US Olympic team bobsledder, Johnny Quinn, was forced to smash through a bathroom door that wouldn’t open, after he was trapped inside with no phone and thus no way to reach anyone for help.

Quinn had just taken a shower in his Sochi hotel room bathroom – the ones with the spy cameras – when, naked and wet, he found himself trapped. The door wouldn’t open.

Having no cell phone, and no way to let anyone know he was trapped in a room INSIDE his room, he had no alternative but to bust through the door.

I didn't know that's how doors were made.

Upon edit: I don't think that's chicken wire... It's some sort of metallic honeycomb material that I've never seen before.

No mating with wall?

No falling down?
No humping red Xs??

Personally, I want to meet the Russians that fish from a toilet.

The consensus on the bottom right was "no shooting up in the bathroom".. My son thought it meant don't get drunk in the bathroom.

I'm not sure about the standing up one either.. Is it "no standing" or "no peeing with the lid down?"

for those who don't know, an upper decker is where you crap in the tank, and the next person to flush gets a surprise.
