Apartment Resident Leaves Water Tap On All Winter, Creates Ice Mountain

ice

Wen Hsu of Jilin, China didn't want his water pipes to freeze. So, just as many people around the world, he turned on the tap. And left it on...all winter:

Wen Hsu, 58, had lived on the seventh floor of the property scheduled for demolition to make way for a new shopping centre for 35 years and when developers managed to buy all the other flats in the building - he was left as the only resident.

As winter approached and it got colder Hsu was worried that the uninsulated water pipes running up through the unused and unheated flats below him would freeze, leaving him without running water. So in order to keep the temperature of the pipes above freezing he simply switched on the tap – and then diverted the warm water to flow down the side of the building.

Do Not Disturb

This sign should save him a lot of time! In addition to the actual time spent dealing with people who interrupt you, there's the time you spend reorienting yourself once you are free of them, and the time re-doing whatever it was you were doing when the interruption occurred. My kids were on spring break last week, so I know of which I speak. No sign whatsoever would have helped me. -via Geeks Are Sexy
