Man Drives Through a Texas Grocery Store to Use the Bathroom

You know what they say, 'When you gotta go, you gotta go.'

We have all had that feeling of desperation of urgently needing a bathroom. You're speeding to find a toilet to prevent an accident in your pants. Well James Mansell Lancaster Jr. over the weekend decided that he needed to use the bathroom at a Kroger grocery store in Rosenburg, Texas. The problem? It was 4:30AM on Sunday and the store does not open til 6AM.

The Rosenburg Police Department shared photos of the aftermath of James' actions. Thankfully no one was injured from the crash. Employees were in the building stocking shelves at the time and were quite startled by the sound of shattering glass that morning. Someone probably thought Stone Cold was about to whoop Booker T's butt like he did in a grocery store in 2001.
