A woman from North Carolina who got tired of the wait in a hospital emergency room allegedly held a lighter up to one of its sprinklers, flooding the room with about half an inch of water.
You won't believe why this woman set off hospital sprinklers
A woman set of the hospital sprinklers for the most unbelievable reason; she was tired of waiting.
The scene inside the ER was “chaotic and disastrous” as “copious amounts of water” poured down Wednesday afternoon, according to a police report.
Katlyn Milligan, 20, told police she had been waiting in the ER of Carolinas HealthCare System – Blue Ridge in Morgantown for about two hours, as a relative got treated for a back problem.
Once she felt she couldn’t wait any longer, she went into a bathroom, turned over a trash can, stood on it and put a lighter to a sprinkler for at least a minute, police said.

The impatient instigator did, in one way, speed things up at the hospital — Milligan herself got taken into the ER to check for effects from exposure to the sprinkler’s stagnated water, officials said. After she was deemed okay and released, she got arrested.
