man glued to toilet seat, sues Home Depot (http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/11/03/toilet.suit.ap/index.html)

On one hand, I feel really bad for the guy. On the other, why didn't he use a butt gasket? I don't trust restrooms in places like that...

[gwar469]

ha, when I first read this story, I thought "why the hell was he testing out the toilets on the store floor?" Never occured to me that he was using the actual restrooms.

Guys don't use those. They usually don't have to sit down to do their business in a store.

[jcarwash31]

Did he just blindly sit on the toilet? You think you would notice glue on the seat before you sat down.

[mct546vbasic]

Could be a hoax, maybe he did it to himself, $$$.

I mean who doesn't check that seat REAL GOOD before sitting down.... :confused:

This sounds like an Encyclopedia Brown case.
Once Encyclopedia looked at the photographic evidence and saw that the man had already wiped and flushed, he knew that he must have glued himeslf to the seat after he had used the toilet. Mr. Harper, the manager of the store, then apologized to Bugs Meany for blaming the glue prank on him.

Oh hell, I used to love Encyclopedia Brown when I was a kid. I had completely forgotten about him. :D

[mct546vbasic]

Would you sit there and cry for help or would you rip the seat off? If it was one of those cheap plastic seats...well, even then you would still be fvcked with a seat glued to your ass...

You could walk to the solvent section with your pants down and a toilet seat on your ass... :o

[Tripod 3]

If he was at the Home Depot I think he was at, it's like gianormous! They probably didn't even hear him. If I see this guy, I'll kick his ass for all of you! Oh, wait...maybe I should just punch him in the arm!! :confused:

[Homsar]

He fainted on his way out the store?
Yeah.
And if it came off, he wasn't trying so hard.
Still that was a cruel prank.

That was EXACTLY my thought, too. What self-respecting person doesn't first look to make sure there's not piss all over the seat?

[monkey neck]

I wonder if he's related to this guy...

That's a good point. how do you NOT notice something on the seat. Does that mean he sits on a seat that's been pissed all over and just doesn't care?!!?! This smells .... fishy :confused:

Now I think I read today that this actually happened in 2003. Did anyone else see this?

I think I found the link... what a sec... oh, here it is...

O'Toole's attorney, Chuck Evans, said it was a consensual act and Slaby wasn't permanently damaged.


Hehehehe.......I doubt it was consensual, and I don't wish injury on any guy's Slaby.

Hey babe, I have a great idea. Open another bottle of wine and the super glue. I can glue your penis to your abs and whatever else you want! How's that sound?

Oh that's Hot!

[aqualou]

this really hits close to home. i pooped at a home depot just last week. oh my god, it could have been me. well if it was, i don't think i'd be like Bob Dougherty and make national news about my ass guled to the can.

[tobedawg]

oh man! IF I Catch a disease from a dirty toilet seat at WAL-MART, can I sue them too?

Whatta freak.. I hope he gets thrown out of court on the toilet seat he rode in on..

[Shlep]

this really hits close to home.


...Depot! HAHAHAHAAAA!! :D

I think the guy is certainly being overdramatic. "They left me to rot" he says...oh. puh-LEASE. Makes me want to glue him to something else. And Home Depot is liable because, apparently, its employees should expect that from time to time, some dude is gonna wind up adhered to the porcelein convenience.

And maybe I'm just a bad person, bt the hand-wringing tone with which they describe the mans' ordeal amuses the hell out of me.

Furthermore, I can't believe he's suing while giving interviews saying that the defendant is not at fault. I bet his lawyer loves him for that.

Back when I was going to UC I knew this girl who was an ER nurse at deaconess who had a guy come in with his unit super glued to his leg, his girlfriend did it to him as revenge for his cheating.

apparently he didnt want to wait for 15 minutes to get his moment in the spotlight this time.

[Tripod 3]

I hope I run into this character. I'll glue his toungue to his.... :mad:

[Shlep]

Let's consider the possibilities here:

1) The man is the victim of circumstances (dual gluings to a toilet seat in a national business franchise with deep pockets) which would seem to make hitting the winning number for this months' Powerball drawing likely by comparison.

2) The man is the victim of a sadistic, glue-happy stalker.

3) When entering a public restroom, the mans' ass turns into a sort of dowsing rod that draws him towards epoxy cement.

4) The man is a scam artist trying to bilk a large company out of millions, figuring that $3,000,000 is chump change to them, so he can sick back on his sticky ass and live large.

I hope he gets shredded in court.

Doubts Raised About Toilet-Seat Case
Tuesday, November 8, 2005 9:47 PM EST
The Associated Press

DENVER (AP) — A man who sued Home Depot last month claiming a prank left him glued to a toilet seat made a similar allegation about another restroom more than a year ago, an official told a newspaper.

Bob Dougherty's lawsuit alleges employees at the store ignored his pleas for help on the day before Halloween 2003 because they thought he was kidding.

But Ron Trzepacz, former director of operations for the town of Nederland, where Dougherty lives, told the Rocky Mountain News in Tuesday's editions that Dougherty told him in the summer of 2004 he was glued to a toilet seat in the town's visitor center but pulled himself free.

Trzepacz told the paper he inspected the bathroom and found "no indication that anything had been on the toilet seat." No police report was filed, he said.

Dougherty's lawyer, Mark Cohen, denied his client made such a claim and said Dougherty, 57, is willing to take a polygraph test.

"The allegation doesn't make any sense," Cohen told The Associated Press Tuesday.

Neither Trzepacz nor the Nederland town administrator immediately returned a call from the AP. Nederland is about 45 miles northwest of Denver.

Dougherty's lawsuit, filed Oct. 28, said officials at the store in Louisville called for an ambulance after he had been stuck for about 15 minutes. Paramedics unbolted the toilet seat, which separated from his skin, leaving abrasions, according to the suit.

The lawsuit also said Dougherty was recovering from heart bypass surgery and thought he was having a heart attack when he got stuck.

The lawsuit claims he suffered pain, humiliation and financial loss. It seeks $3 million.

"It's not about the money. I want my health back. I want to be back to normal," Dougherty said. "I want to make sure this doesn't happen to anybody ever, ever again."
