Ridiculous Item of the Day: Man Sues After Using Glue-Covered Toilet
"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.OK, who the heck sits down on a public toilet without at least wiping the seat! Dude, that's disgusting. What I want to know is how long he sat there trying to get up the nerve to call for help before he actually did. The guy obviously didn't take the humiliation sitting down:
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.'"Well, the man wasn't actually left to rot. According to the report, the paramedics did come about fifteen minutes later, unbolted the toilet and carried the man through the store on his can.
No need to fret though, Dougherty was fine and the seat was "separated from his skin, leaving abrasions." Apparently, the man was left with only ring around the bottom.

I bet he was pooped out after the ordeal.
I wonder if this was one of those "finger in my chili" scams. I mean, even if you did sit down on the seat without wiping... who would have sat there more than 2 seconds as they felt the oozy goozy feeling of the glue?
Now, he is suing. I smell a scam.
"Pooped?" Ah, man, that kind of potty humor really stinks.
You may be right, though. Something certainly smells about the whole deal. Maybe the judge will get to the bottom of it...
...sure hope he doesn't get in over his head.
hopefully the judge will dump this case before it goes to trial.
What? You went there first...
Couldn't help myself
You should be emberassed after that comment. Are you feeling a little flushed?
