This houseguest’s attempt at a good first impression went down the toilet.
A woman from Vancouver, Canada has prompted face-palm reactions among followers online after sharing the time she broke her boyfriend’s toilet while meeting his parents for the first time. The video of her “embarrassing” bathroom fiasco, which she filmed from the loo right after the crap-ocalypse, currently boasts over 2.9 million views on TikTok.
“I wasn’t worried until I realized I didn’t know how to fix it which is when I started to panic a little,” the culprit Kennedy Calwell, 26, told Kennedy Jam Press of the mishap, which occurred while she was staying with the family of her boyfriend, Nick, at their home in Toronto for the holidays.
The “Meet The Parents”-worthy fiasco began after the Canuck woke up to “go number 2” and ended up clogging the toilet, Kennedy described on camera.
“So I use the bathroom and then the toilet won’t flush, which is already a nightmare” the explained the mortified gal, who tried to remedy the issue herself. “So I’m not trying to tell anybody about this, I’m going to get in there and fix this problem myself.”

“At first I thought it was no big deal and I would easily be able to fix it by opening up the top portion and fiddling with the handle, but nothing was working,” Calwell told Jam Press.
However, disaster struck after she dropped the lid while attempting to lift it back on the toilet, and ended up “shattering it completely,” Jam Press reported. Accompanying TikTok footage shows pieces of the toilet lid strewn across the lavatory floor like a broken plate. At one point, the humiliated gal asks viewers if they anyone has a “spare toilet lid” they can send her.
“I just stood there, staring at the mess I made in shock for a couple minutes before realizing what an embarrassing, awkward and silly situation I was in,” she recalled. “I laughed and then made a panic-induced TikTok about it.”
Thankfully, no one heard the actual toilet lid shatter as it occurred in the basement while the parents weren’t home and her boyfriend was upstairs.
Nonetheless, Calwell felt like she was in a pickle, explaining to Jam Press, “I realized I had to tell Nick, because there was really no way out of the situation. No window to climb out of, no pet or small child to take the blame, no direct path out of the house without my boyfriend seeing me.”
She finally told her other half, who she claims “laughed really hard at me.” Nick then saved the day by calling his parents and telling them he’d “accidentally broken the toilet,” although he didn’t “mention the doody,” per Calwell’s bathroom testimonial.
Thankfully his family found the situation equally hilarious. “His family laughed. They have four sons so they are pretty used to things getting broken or damaged in their house – but they joked about Nick having to do extra chores over the holidays to make up for it,” recalled Calwell. She even filmed the moment that Nick called his parents with his “toilet cover” story, and even offered to pay for the broken.
Although she’s worried that the parents will eventually find out it was her as “two of Nick’s brothers have already seen [the TikTok] and called him about this incident,” Calwell said.
“They think it is funny but now I am thinking it is only a matter of time before their parents find out [it was me]!” she said.
Needless to say, the catastrophe had viewers in hysterics with one writing: “You’re either going to be the girl he marries or the story they tell to his wife every Christmas. No other options.”
“I cannot wait for his father to tell this story of this happening at your wedding,” joked another.
Others compared the predicament to Ben Stiller’s iconic toilet-breaking scene in “Meet The Parents.”
Thankfully, Calwell has learned to see the funny side.
“I find it funny and am glad everything worked out, though I am a little embarrassed that over 2.5 million people have heard a story about my poop,” she told Jam Press.
