Woman glued to toilet seat at Home Depot
Commerce News Daily ^ | 12/4/2013

Posted on 12/07/2013 3:10:22 AM PST by markomalley

A woman found herself in a sticky situation after going to the restroom at The Home Depot store at Banks Crossing last week.

Someone had apparently put glue on all of the toilet seats in the women’s restroom and she didn’t realize it until she became stuck on the seat. Emergency medical services personnel were called to the store to help remove the woman from the toilet seat, according to an incident report filed at the Banks County Sheriff’s Office.

The woman had to be taken to a Gainesville hospital for treatment.

The manger of the store found a brown paper sack in the restroom that contained a bottle of Loctite GO2 glue.

The manager also noted that all of the toilet seats had a glue-like substance on them. Three toilet seats were damaged with a total value of $60.

"Who doesn't go through a checking/cleaning ritual prior to sitting down?"

Indeed. Laying down a toilet paper barrier not only ensures a prophylactic layer, but it also allows you to confirm there's ample toilet paper for mission success. Few things worse than sitting down on a public toilet seat, tending to nature's call, then realizing there's an empty roll on the dispenser.

I call extreme BS and probably someone trying to get a Home Depot lawsuit payday.

The security cameras will probably tell a much different story than this woman did.

This one happen every now and then. It is usually a scam by someone who wants to sue. Home Depot seems to be a big target in the US.

“In November 2005, Bob Dougherty instigated a lawsuit against a Home Depot in Louisville, Colorado, over the failure of its employees to free him in a timely manner when he sat on a glue-laden toilet seat in October 2003. Doubt has been cast on the authenticity of his claim by a Nederland, Colorado, town official who maintains Dougherty reported a similar incident in the town’s visitors center bathroom in 2004.”

“I take it you’ve never had a restroom “emergency”.”

Wiping the seat is a constant that’s factored into any public restroom emergency I’ve had or will ever have.

It’s the price of doing business.

I don't know. At a certain age, there can sometimes be a sudden, dire warning and very little time.

Still, I have doubts about this story. The odds of that type of emergency are slim and glue on the seat would be pretty visible.

Probably not enough thread to sew an entire store.

Um. I won’t go into detail but if you’re desperate you don’t have time to check the toilet.

That’s what I was thinking as well. I am not the sewing type anyway.

Was it Kentucky Fried Movie that had a bit where a woman sat on a freshly varnished toilet seat? Her husband called a plumber and put a cowboy hat in his wife's lap for reasons of modesty. Plumber says "I can save your wife, buddy, but the cowboy's a goner."

“Probably not enough thread to sew an entire store.”

This thread is dying already, but she can keep the needle handy.

“She’ll probably claim she was gay and that some Home Depot employee did it to her because he knew she was gay.”

A libtard judge will rule to change the store name to Homo Depot for compensation.

Now see, never use the restroom at a Home Depot.

Anywhere in the city - I’ll tell you the best public toilet.
