After Nightmare Tinder Date Involving Poop and Firemen, Man Starts GoFundMe

If you think you've had a terrible date, the Tinder nightmare that Liam Smyth endured will put it to shame. His romantic rendezvous turned so bad that he had to set up a GoFundMe after it.
Things started out well with a nice dinner so Liam took her back to his place for a bottle of wine and, interestingly, a documentary about Scientology. Halfway through the film, the woman went to the restroom but was shaken up when she returned.
She explained that she pooped but the toilet didn't flush and she panicked. The date confessed to reaching into the bowl, grabbing her poop, wrapping it with TP and throwing it out the window, which only opens from the top.
The gentleman that he is, Liam was understanding and said they'd go outside, collect the poop, throw it out and forget about everything, except there was one problem - Liam's bathroom window has a second window right behind it that doesn't open, so when his date tossed her poop out the window, it didn't go very far and wound up just sitting on the other side.
Liam's next plan was to smash open the inner window but his date, who happened to be an amateur gymnast, had another idea. She was certain she could reach into the window from the opening above it and pull the stinky package out.
She had to reach deep but she was able to get the poop and pass it out, but when it came time for her to come out, it wasn't happening no matter what they tried. She was stuck.
At this point, there was nothing that could be done except call the fire department. They showed up in minutes with lights and sirens on, and 15 minutes later they had the window off the wall and the date was free unharmed.
The situation was under control but it still left poor Liam with a bill of about $400 for the window. As a post-graduate student, that's a lot of money for him, so he set up a GoFundMe asking people for help.
In the case that he got more than the $400, he planned to split that between the firefighters' charity and Toilet Twinning, a non-profit that builds and maintains flushing toilets to developing parts of the world. Those charities will be getting some cash because so far, Liam's GoFundMe has raised $2600!
No word yet on if he and the woman will be going on date "number two."
