Trinidadian Man Transforms Pothole Into a Hot Tub

in #funny7 years ago

In Trinidad and Tobago, protest action can take many forms — online campaigns, hunger strikes, waste burning, even swims-cum-boat rides between the two islands — but never before has a man-sized pothole been turned into a jacuzzi

The man, who was identified only as “Ken” by the social media user who shot and uploaded the video on January 4, 2018, had come to the end of his tether after 10 days of calling the Water and Sewerage Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (WASA) to fix a leak that was so severe it had eroded part of the street in front of his house, with the ironic twist that he was no longer receiving a pipe-borne water supply to his home.

So he did the next best thing — he took a relaxing soak in the pothole.

Thanks to his creatively outrageous protest action, Ken immediately became a social media sensation, even gaining regional kudos for his tactics. The very next day, WASA dispatched a crew to fix the leak and repair the massive hole.
