A hotel in Shenzhen, China, suffered significant water damage after a guest mistakenly used a ceiling-mounted emergency hose as a clothes hanger.

The hose burst, sending high-pressure water through the room and causing extensive damage.

Local sources reported that the cost of the damage could exceed 150,000 yuan (about $21,000), sparking a wide debate over civic awareness, public responsibility, and hotel rules.

They added that the hotel management has entered negotiations with the guest to hold them accountable for the damages.
