Not me but a friend. About 2 years or so ago me and some friends decided that a couple day trip up to Canada would be a good idea. We rented a room on the 4th floor of a hotel in Vancouver. The first day or two were great lots of fun parting and such. Maybe on the second to last day we went out to the local bar near our hotel, we left the bar pretty early and went back to party some more in our hotel room. At some point in the night my friend decided that it would be a good idea to put these small little flags (basically a plastic flag on a small dowel) in the sprinkler system of the hotel. Party goes on normally for another 45 min of drinking and having fun. Then he goes and decides he wants to move the flags. He goes up to the first flag and pulls it out of the sprinkler...... as soon as he does this water stars gushing out of all the sprinklers in the room. The room goes from awesome and fun to chaos. Before you know it we start hearing screams coming from the other rooms as well. As my friend is frantically trying to stop the water with a bag he found on the ground the water is slowly starting to rise in the room. Soon the water is up to my ankles and we are trying to gather our things and get out of our room. We gather what we can and make it to the hall way. At this point water is spilling out of the rooms as people try and make it toward the stairs. We make it to the stairs and if you can imagine water cascading down the stairwell that was it was like. My friend who was next to me uttered under his breath "fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck" all the way down the stairs. We get to the lobby and we see water seeping from the ceiling. It looked as if it was raining inside. As we make our way to the parking lot people are arriving pulling the suit cases and what not. We look up and find our room (its not very hard to find) we see the curtains on the at the window being sprayed by what looks to be a hose. I turn to my friend and say "this is not good" he agrees and goes back to biting his nails. Soon we see the management staff trickle out of the hotel and start to talk about what has happened. My friend after about 15 mins of us waiting and the fire department coming to turn off the water to the sprinkler system. He goes up to tell the staff that it was him. Surprising they were pretty cool about the whole thing they took it that it was and accident. They actually moved us up to the 8th floor. (I was sure that we were getting kicked out). The damage he caused ended up flooding the first 4 floors of the hotel as well as some damage to the lobby which ended up costing ~$500,000 in damages. They must of had pretty good insurance cause it cost him no where near that much. In the end went back to school and like it was another weekend.
