"Someone's in here!"

They say a man's home is his castle, and one of the most important rooms is the "throne room," if you know what I mean. It's a place for peace and quiet and, most importantly, privacy. So I'd imagine it's quite a shock when that privacy is breached in such a jarring fashion:

A New Zealand man got the fright of his life when a runaway SUV crashed into his house and knocked him off the toilet, a newspaper reported Friday.

The vehicle had been parked with its emergency brake only half on, and rolled backward down a 32 foot bank into the house Thursday in the southern city of Christchurch, "The Press" newspaper reported.

Police said a building contractor working next door had parked the vehicle at the top of the bank minutes earlier.

"He came back to his vehicle and found it next door, basically," Christchurch police Sgt. Kim Reid was quoted as saying.

The paper said that when the homeowner was asked how the builder might be feeling, he said: "What about me? I got knocked off the toilet. I got a hell of a fright."

If there's any justice in this world, his response to the person who asked that question was accompanied by a swift kick in the ass.
