"Ow, this fucking hurts" says man sitting in bath tub full of acid. Allegedly, when asked by his wife why he filled the bath tub with acid and then sat in it, the man confusedly replied "why is this happening to me?".

The man was treated for severe acid burns at St. Anne's hospital early Tuesday morning. When an attempt was made to contact the man, the sounds of fizzing could be heard in the background by our reporter, as the man, likely oblivious to the phone call, could be heard saying "now to sit in this bathtub full of acid and get back on track".
