Good lord…
Oddity Central:
An American woman is suing luxury hotel chain Ritz-Carlton for reportedly delivering a bottle of water that had been contaminated with human semen by one of its employees.
The woman and her husband – referred to as Jane and John Doe in the lawsuit – visited the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Half Moon Bay, California, last November, but their comfortable four-night stay turned into a nightmare one evening when the wife requested a few bottles of drinking water. After they were delivered by a member of the hotel staff, Jane Doe put one of the bottles on the nightstand next to her bed and fell asleep without taking a drink from it. Later that night, she woke up, took a swig of water, and immediately realized that something wasn’t right. The water had a weird taste that she horrifyingly recognized…
“She opened it, took a drink, and knew immediately that something was wrong with the liquid she had just swallowed,” the woman’s lawyers said. “Jane Doe was mortified, terrified, embarrassed, and humiliated, but shared her suspicion with her husband, who then asked the hotel security and management representatives to call the police.”
The couple told police that the water bottled delivered to them by the luxury hotel staff contained ‘semen-contaminated water’ and officers had no choice but to take a sample for analysis. Shockingly enough, the test results showed that it had indeed contained human semen.
“The Ritz-Carlton subsequently sent the water bottle to a laboratory for analysis, and the testing confirmed that the water contained semen,” the lawsuit filed on October 12 reads.
In a bizarre twist, the Ritz Carlton is clinging to the semen water bottle as if it were a prized possession, withholding it from both authorities and the victims. They're also tight-lipped about the identity of the staff member who delivered the water — a stance that’s partly fueling the couple’s lawsuit. Take it from me, from now on, I’ll be scrutinizing every beverage seal with a magnifying glass. It's a strange world out there, with people dreaming up all kinds of nefarious ways to hurt others.
