Fire sprinklers give homeowners a sense of safety. They can do more than suppress fires, though. A pole dancer in Texas discovered that the hard way while practicing inside her Houston apartment.

Asha Gilbert set up her phone to record herself following the moves of a pole-dancing routine on television while her dog watched. As she spun around a stainless steel pole secured between the floor and ceiling, it came loose and struck an overhead sprinkler.

Gilbert’s video showed the damaged sprinkler spraying water throughout the apartment, drenching her and her dog as if a sudden downpour had erupted indoors.

She and her pet escaped unharmed before firefighters arrived to shut off the water, the New York Post reported.

Meanwhile, Kristina Moore of Baltimore inherited her late father’s home but was stunned to find a notice taped to the front door stating that the property had a lien for unpaid water bills totaling $228,000.

After contacting the city’s Department of Public Works, Moore learned she would not be able to sell the property until the outstanding balance was settled, The US Sun reported.

Moore then asked Regina Johnson, president of the Springwood Estates Homeowners Association, how her father’s water bill had ballooned into six figures.

Johnson explained that a single water meter served more than 30 homes in the community and was registered to Moore’s father’s property.

The homeowners association collected monthly water payments from residents, but Moore’s father was mistakenly left responsible for the entire bill, resulting in the lien.
