Okay - this is horrible - but I did chuckle at the thought of it.

Glued to toilet, man sues Home Depot

DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- Home Depot is defending a lawsuit filed by a man who claims one of the chain's stores ignored his cries for help after he fell victim to a prank and was glued to a toilet seat.

Bob Dougherty, 57, of nearby Nederland, said he became stuck to a bathroom toilet seat last year after somebody smeared glue on it.

"They left me there, going through all that stress," Dougherty told The Daily Camera, of Boulder. "They just let me rot."

His lawsuit, filed Friday, said Dougherty was recovering from heart bypass surgery at the time and thought he was having a heart attack. A store employee who heard him calling for help informed the head clerk via 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.

According to the lawsuit, store officials called for an ambulance after about 15 minutes. Paramedics unbolted the toilet seat.

Dougherty, "frightened and humiliated," passed out as he was being wheeled out of the store, court papers said.

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

"This is not Home Depot's fault," Dougherty said. "But I am blaming them for letting me hang in there and just ignoring me."

This happened to a friend of my parents when I was a kid. Sadly, he put his cig. out while sitting and it ignited because his wife had been trying to fix her hairspray by spraying it into the toilet - thus causing him to be glued as well. Fortunately, he was not hurt too badly, but boy did he have the red a$$ for his wife :wavey:

I knew someone who put superglue on the toilet seat hoping to snare his sister but got her friend (who was spending the night) instead. He was a rotten brother.

some people just have too much time on their hands.

I thought this was going to be a "Help- I've got diarhea (I can NEVER remember how to spell that) and I'm glued to the toilet" thread!

I was flipping channels and on The View a few moments ago, they talked about a man who's girlfriend glued his penis to his stomach, his butt cheeks together and his testicles to his leg. Poor guy had to walk to a phone to call 911 because she wouldn't do it. :distress:

This was only because...they broke up. :rolleyes: Not funny and I'd sue her a$$.

I was about to say that anyone who puts their bare behind on a public toilet seat without first wiping it off, or using one of those paper covers kind of has it coming.

They have travel seat covers from Charmin at Wal-Mart. I ALWAYS wipe the seat and use 1 and sometimes 2 covers when going in public.

Umm... not that I'm condoning what she did, but did the guy break up with her right after having sex with her? I'm assuming he was already naked at the time she did this, and that she didn't forcibly rip his clothes off. What she did is pretty sick, but if my assumption is correct about the circumstances, I can understand why she'd be a little ticked. :laugh:

Meredith said that they had already broke up and she had gone over to his house to say "Let's be friends." He fell asleep apparently and then, she did that to him.
