Customer glued to toilet seat sues Home Depot
Man claims workers ignored cries for help after he was victimized by prank

Updated: 12:06 p.m. ET Nov. 3, 2005
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.”

Whats a beastie prank :confused:

It's still a pretty stupid thing to do.

[yeahwho]

That is some pretty funny stuff (y) .

Checkout his interview on CBSdenver (http://cbs4denver.com/topstories/local_story_308015258.html), it's like a nightmare world of some sorts. They unbolted the toilet seat and walked him out....it just gets worse. He cn't get over it! :D

You wouldn't be fucking laughing if it were YOU that it happened to. If only he had known and shit after getting home.

Dude looks like a practical joker, I bet he dreamed this up to pay for his bypass surgery. Shit, he probably faked his bypass surgery. Talk about getting the redass....bumrush....i hope he wins just so Home Depot will keep they're shitters cleaned up.

I look pretty closely at the toilet seat before using a public bathroom. I've got to believe I would have noticed the glue.

Maybe not if you had to shit fucking super bad.

its just common sense

Or try not to use them. I do that. Sticking my bare ass when 1000's of other mens bare asses have been is something I cannot help but think about in public rest rooms which is why at times I'd rather wait or soil myself.

I suppose some people would like that thought :o

[yeahwho]

What if that guy had to puke and his hands got stuck to the toilet seat instead? They would probably have to dismantle the whole stall to get his lard ass out. He should be thanking his lucky star's he was able to take a shit rather than puke.

Ungrateful Bastard. :mad:
