I read the story at the URL and it was pretty much a rote recital of events. The one comment below it didn’t make any sense to me.
I wonder if there is something more to this story.

A: how does one not check the seat first in a public restroom and B: how does one,if the didn’t check, not jump right up upon feeling something wet or sticky on ones bottom?
She had to have done it herself.
Wouldn’t the glue dry after only a few seconds? If she didn’t do it herself, it would have to be the person immediately before her.
Most of the women I know grab a bit of TP and make a quick swipe of the seat before settling down. Looks like that may be a wise practice to continue. Gentlemen, take note.
New marketing ploy? Just askin’.

Seat covers. Exactly. If I have to sit down, I use those (which most restrooms now provide in each stall) or I use toilet paper to cover the seat. If the seat has anything on it, forget it.
This is definitely a sticky situation!
I always use seat protectors or lay toilet paper on the seat before sitting down.
One reason we vacation with an RV is to avoid using public restrooms which are filthy in most areas of the US and particularly in the south. In contrast we find the public restrooms in Canada very clean.
Loctite GO2 is very strong even if you just GO1.
Mama says, never ever ever ever ever sit on a public restroom toilet seat. EVER.
Then, not only that but here’s mama’s ritual: after you go into said nasty toilet and have emerged for your hand washing, grab a paper towel and store it under your arm. Then, turn on the water, get the soap and wash your hands thoroughly up to elbows. But afterwards, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING WITH YOUR BARE HANDS. Grab the stored paper towel, dry your hands, turn off the water with the paper towel, walk to the door and then proceed to use same paper towel to open the door with (knob or handle) then, hold the door open with your foot and try your best to make the shot to the waste basket. Simple as that, you’re clean enough to do surgery. Oh, and one more thing, never ever ever use the hand dryer. Mama says that only stirs up the nasty germs in the room!!! Ha ha
She should have picked the stall with the seat up.
BTW wouldn’t the glue have dried pretty much before she sat down???
Does no one actually check for both cleanliness and TP before they enter a public rest room any more? Glue of that type would have gone through one of those paper covers. I smell a rat in this story.
FYI
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.”

Now see, never use the restroom at a Home Depot.
Anywhere in the city - I’ll tell you the best public toilet.
