LOL! Amazon comment on how to annoy your co-workers.

I was looking for a mini pump for my frog terrarium and came up with this priceless comment:

If you want to annoy your co-workers, this is the pump for you!

Verified Purchase

I bought this pump for one purpose: to simulate a person urinating as an April Fool's prank. See, where I work, the men's room has only one stall. Every day I go to use it, and someone is in there. Every guy I work with wishes there were just one more hole in that pot. So, to make my work environment even more frustrating, I bought this pump. I hooked it up to a 6-volt lantern battery, 18 inches of tubing and other minor accessories, and placed it in the toilet stall on April Fool's day. I also set up an old pair of shoes and pants sleeves to complete the illusion that someone was in there taking the world's longest whiz. It ran for more than 3 hours before someone finally figured out that no one could possibly be in there for that long. It successfully recycled the water far longer than I had any hope it would need to--I thought the joke would be over in about 45 minutes. Yet, to my sublime satisfaction, I got to watch Larry from accounting stand outside the john, watching the time, and wondering how much longer that guy would be in there. Priceless.
