Jimmy De Frenne, 48, sat on the toilet in the front of a bar in Belgium for nearly five days before his legs began to hurt too much.
Jimmy De Frenne, 48, squatted on a lavatory in front of customers at Filip's Place, a bar-restaurant in Ostend. The toilet was not connected to any plumbing—De Frenne was allowed a five-minute breaks every hour, which he could accumulate over several hours to take naps, stretch his legs or use the real bathroom. "Self-mockery is the best humor there is," De Frenne told Reuters.
De Frenne said Guinness World Records was aware of the effort and that local officials and witnesses were checking in to validate his attempt. As far as he knew, the previous record for toilet-sitting was 100 hours.
