Be careful when using the toilet at Home Depot

[Phlegm]

From Associated Press:

BOULDER, Colo. - Home Depot was sued by a shopper who claims he got stuck to a restroom toilet seat because a prankster had smeared it with glue.

Bob Dougherty, 57, accused employees of ignoring his cries for help for about 15 minutes because they thought he was kidding.

“They left me there, going through all that stress,” Dougherty told The (Boulder) Daily Camera. “They just let me rot.”

The lawsuit, filed Friday, said Dougherty was recovering from heart bypass surgery and thought he was having a heart attack when he got stuck at the Louisville store on the day before Halloween 2003. A store employee who heard him calling for help informed the head clerk by radio, but the head clerk “believed it to be a hoax,” the lawsuit said.

Home Depot spokeswoman Kathryn Gallagher said she could not comment on pending litigation.

The lawsuit said store officials called for an ambulance after about 15 minutes. Paramedics unbolted the toilet seat, and as they wheeled the “frightened and humiliated” Dougherty out of the store, he passed out.

The lawsuit said the toilet seat separated from his skin, leaving abrasions.

“This is not Home Depot’s fault,” he said. “But I am blaming them for letting me hang in there and just ignoring me.”

Ummm, maybe I am strange, but I always but those paper toilet seat covers down when using a public restroom or at least use toiletpaper to cover the seat. Maybe he should use a little more hygiene next time, might save him a rash on his ass.

He sat for like 10 mins. Its not like they left him sitting there for 6 days or something." They left me there, going through all that stress" Sounds like he wants money.

It's the American Way, Spazz

There's no way in Hell I'd let bare skin get in contact with a public toilet seat. The fact that he was carted out with his warty buttocks Krazy glued to bacteria infested porcelain in front of cackling Home Depot customers was appropriate retribution.

Even putting paper on the seat covered in super glue wont help. That stuff is tissue paper. It would soak through, still attaching itself to your ass.
Ever use super glue or hot glue in between two pieces of fabric and then touch it when it wasnt dry? You can get stuck through fabric, you can sure as hell get stuck through kleenex.

This article made me laugh, btw.

Still though, Darcler, Don't you think he would have noticed? I mean when I put the papersheild on, I look for wet spots, freak out and reapply.

It was probably Elmer's Glue and he just thought it was jizz.

A little spunk never hurt noone. Unless they have AIDs. But anyway...

Maybe he was in a hurry and had to shit RIGHT THEN. He could hold the floodgates back just long enough to put the toilet condom on and push the hole out, and by then the turtlehead was 'acoming. No time to worry about a little tinkle.

I wipe, then apply the shield, then test, then sit (if the test passes).

If I see a wetspot, fuck that.

I'll hold it.

Which is why I hold it until I get home. I often consider peeing in a cup before using a public restroom. I dont use them unless I am juuuuust about to piss in my pants.
