It's genital mutilation night on fark I guess...

How does a toilet get hooked up to the hot water hot enough to boil some balls?

Could have been worse, it could have been a bidet' and shot scalding water up his ass.

It's not like you can just stop peeing immediately when that starts happening. You've got to clench and stop the stream, then try to hop away from the steam with your junk in your hand, then if you're lucky you can make it to the next urinal or sink and finish your work there.

Should be easy enough to verify whether the urinal is tied to the water heater.It's not necessary to cut the stream before you step away from a steaming urinal.

Thanks for the info. You might want to think about filming safety video.

Endive Wombat: I was under the impression that all water supplied to toilets was cold...

Plumber fail?

Can some plumbing experts/those knowledgeable on the subject lend us some insight as to how this could even possibly happen?

They have a clog somewhere in the exit line... so what happens is the hot water is trying to leave, hitting the clog, and backing up the line

Usually I'm like that's bullshiat, but if any of this is true --

FTFA: Dejoie claims he reported the incident to an employee who according to the suit claimed, "we have that bathroom problem again," and "this happens when the sink in the kitchen is running."

-- then this is one of those rare, valid lawsuits, and I hope he gets paid. Arby's management, yes, but if they put in requisitions to get that fixed, and whoever owned the building took their time getting it fixed, or if someone higher up in management nixed it to save money or whatever, time for this dude to get paid.

"we have that bathroom problem again,"

Does this imply that this happened to others and they shrugged it off and only now someone is looking for restitution?

Also, does he have to show his blanched junk to the jury?
/Because I totally would.

Roast Beef?

Maybe, just maybe...

Dump boiling water down a nearby drain, pressure from the steam builds in the drain plumbing - path of least resistance - blows through the gooseneck at the the bottom of the urinal (especially if the sink drain is higher than the urinal outlet) and PRESTO!

Arby's introduces the Steamed Weener!

/Then again, maybe not

And it sprays out at temperatures hit enough to burn? How does it even spray out of the urinal? I'd think it would just overflow

Doesn't make sense to me.

Good that he waited 2 years before filing the lawsuit.

Something smells funny here....

/maybe steamed oysters

Arbys macht fried balls?

There would have to be no trap on the urinal but I believe they are built-in, like a toilet's.

No idea where the steam is from. Pouring large amounts of boiling water into a drain line doesn't build pressure. Even if it backed up it would be hot water, not steam.

In other word, shenanigans.

FTFA: The lawsuit lists the victim as Kenneth Dejoie and claims that Dejoie was quote "utilizing the urinal in the men's restroom when it caused a jet of steam to shoot forth from the urinal and burn his genitals."

Heck, I'd bet there's heaps of weirdos out there who would willingly pay extra for that.

Only if it keeps boiling, which it won't without a heat source.

optikeye: It'll be settled in small claims court.

HA! +1

America's Roast Balls, Yes Sir!

Would be great if someone's last name involved with this was Cockburn.

Nothing says it was hot water steam, could have been a chemical steam caused by mixing bleach and ammonia (urine). Somebody cleaned the urinal by dumping a half gallon of bleach in it and didn't flush it. Don't believe me, go try pissing into a bleach bottle.

Pictures or it never happened

The worst food poisoning I've ever had was due to an Arby's Market Fresh sandwhich. I know it was that because both my wife and I got sick the same day and that was the only thing we both had eaten recently. We called and the local manager on duty admitted it and said she had removed the expired item. She told us to call the district manager on Monday (we got sick Saturday night). Of course we called up and he denied anything was expired and that the manager didn't admit anything.

Try this experiment (carefully):

1. Get a standard mason jar.
2.Pour in boiling water
3. Quickly close lid (not too tightly)- cover top with a towel (so you don't get burned)
4. Shake the jar

Steam and/or hot water will spew from the top - with no additional heat source.

/I guarantee it

Good thing it wasn't Thinly Sliced ^TM.

If anyone can rebuild his meat into a reasonable facsimile of what it's supposed to be, it's Arby's.

I flushed mine down the toilet at a pizza hut once but it was my fault because I was drunk and forgot to throw it over my shoulder first. No lawsuit for me..

Doesn't make sense to me.

I'm guessing a really poor venting implementation that with multiple water sources trying to use, strange results can occur. But that does not account for the water being hot enough to burn. I am also guessing that since no mention of medical personnel or degree of burn, the wanker is just trying to scam the restaurant. I doubt the water could have been hot enough to actually cause injury.

Melted cheese is basically napalm; maybe he confused an Arby's roast beef sub with his wife.

Did your Mom block all the porn on your computer?

Turn a picture of an Arby's Sandwich sideways and do your business.

Erm, how are you guys having trouble believing that the water could be that hot? Haven't any of you guys ever washed dishes for a restaurant? Those washers are ridiculous. They go quick, heat up really farking high, and push through a ton of water in a short amount of time.
