Ppl saying why did she not call 911???? I havent watched the show yet...but may be she didnt have phone access!!!! Something like this had happened with a pakistani friebd of mine. She was born in canada, raised in the US... Got engaged to her cousin from Pakistan. After the guy came to the US... Her father settled him in a business erc...they got married and that was it... He locked her inside a room, she was not able to tslk to anyone...her dad started to get worried but it took him 8 months to figure out... One day he decided to visit them at their place and when he was talking to his son in law...my friend heard him (her dad)... She started screaming -and got saved...now sge is a doctor...remarried to a very nice man and has a son!!!!!! So dont think things dont happen in the US or canada...they do!!!!!

Reading this post n comments, I was reminded of a show I watched recently. It was a study done to see of people if they could behave cruelly to a complete stranger.

They were made to sit in front of a machine wih diff voltages that was to be administered to a 'patient' if he gave the wrong answer to a series of question. Every Wrong answer meant that guy got electrocuted with a higher volt.

The participant is told that he/she can end this study anytime they wanted. The participant had a choice, not the person receiving the electric shocks.

The test starts of smoothly and after 2-3 ques, the answers start to get wrong. It comes to a point where the patient is begging not to be electrocuted anymore and the participant is told to continue and not stop by an authoritative official. The test here is to see hw assertive they are in the face of authority and just cause its a stranger, can they contine the cruel act of giving higher voltage shots to the patient.

Majority completed the whole test even though they were uncomfortable. Despite the fact they were expressly told that they can stop the test nytime, only 13% did that. Rest 87% went thru it when faced with an authoritative figure.

Even I thot I would be one of the 13% but then I had another thot, when faced with that pressure, would I be able to think rationally n logically?

Extreme situations makes even a basic logical thing diff to do. As for sticking something btwn the doors n going out, not nec she was staying in a residential part of the town or near a central area, getting somewhere might not be possible on foot or the nearest neighbor might be miles away. USA is a big country.

For people who say that the tapwater must have been frozen, have you lived in the US/Canada/UK when it was really cold?

yes when i was seeing her story even i felt strange too because tap water is easily available in US/canada etc n its the safest water to drink as well more than filtered water..and yes why she didn call 911 ..why was she calling her husband for 4 days bt then ya i can guess she must be scared and didn call ..overall that story did felt a little wierd

If you have vonage and 911 is not set up you cannot call 911. If there is a water shutoff out side or in the basement it can be shutoff and you will not have water in the tap. Some of the desert places like Arizona the water is not fresh water It is recycled water.

I've grown up in the US...and lived or visited 34 of the 50 states...and I have to say...the entire USA is not like New York City or LA...😆

I think people are just going nowhere in this discussion. The husband might have purposely turned off the water from outside the house. I think the people who are talking regarding the availability of water in USA and other developed countries, If you need to torture anybody, there are so many ways to do that. The water can be stopped from outside the house, It may not have happened but who knows.

I ask because I grew up in the US and have lived in extremely cold areas of the country (where we could get up to 2 feet of snow on average). But tap water was never frozen. Some days it was difficult to get hot water, but the water itself was never frozen and unattainable.

I know it's not a huge part of the discussion but I wanted to clear that up unless someone who lives in those countries actually has had such experience.

I don't want people to think that people who live in very cold areas have to go without water when it snows.
