A man spilled a soda in a public toilet and his shame went viral

Someone fetch the cone of shame.

What follows is a harrowing tale of hubris and utter degradation.

Twitter user Joe Grabinski was out and about on Thursday, when he made the fatal error of bringing a cup of soda into a public toilet stall. Here's what happened next...

Digi-pundits weighed in with comments, questions and advice.

The eventual result was even bleaker than the initial spill.

There was one last piece of advice given to him as he fled the scene.

Lesson learned indeed.
