Can you imagine being covered in someone else's poop while sitting in your garden?

We would rather not, thank you very much...
We can all admit that we love to take the opportunity to bask in the sunlight, and, of course, it is great for our mental health as well as our skin. We expect to see beautiful phenomenons of nature, like butterflies and lady bugs, blooming flowers, but not a number two...
This man who was enjoying some time outside in his garden, and happens to live on the on the flight path to London's Heathrow Airport, experienced something we wouldn't wish on anyone.
"A man was enjoying the sun in his backyard in Windsor, southeast England when a passing plane dropped toilet waste over him and his garden furniture, a local councilor said during a recent meeting." (Business Insider)
It is not uncommon for planes to discharge their waste on their flight path, but this was a rare occasion, where it was dispersed all over a person. Just thinking about it makes us sick. We cannot imagine how he must've felt.

His whole garden was splattered in a very unpleasant way. The whole garden, garden umbrellas, and him were covered in poop. It's absolutely dreadful.- Karen Davies, ward councilor for Clewer East
This man had the raw end of the deal as many experts revealed that this was an absolutely rare occasion.
"Whitfield parish councilor Geoff Paxton, who has worked with airlines for four decades, said what happened was "so rare" and one he had not seen in a long time. He added that modern toilets on planes are vacuum secured and are normally reliable as they rely on pressure suction to work, so this unfortunate situation must have resulted from aircraft failure or a failure to adequately service it." (Business Insider)
The man was unable to claim any insurance when it came to the incident, apparently it was because there was not much damage that occurred. We completely disagree! What about the pain and suffering of being covered in other people's waste, hello?!
