 Uptight much?
Man Sues Home Depot After Using Glue-Covered Toilet
POSTED: 6:57 am EST November 3, 2005 BOULDER, Colo. -- Home Depot has been sued by a man who claims the chain's store in Louisville, Colo., ignored his cries for help after he became glued to a toilet seat as part of a prank. Bob Dougherty, 57, said he became stuck to the toilet seat last year after somebody smeared glue on it. He told the Daily Camera in Boulder, Colo., that Home Depot employees "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 lawsuit said the head clerk thought it was a hoax. Home Depot spokeswoman Kathryn Gallagher said she cannot comment on pending litigation. The lawsuit said after about 15 minutes, store officials called for an ambulance. Paramedics unbolted the toilet seat. The lawsuit said Dougherty passed out while being wheeled out of the store. The lawsuit said the toilet seat separated from his skin, leaving abrasions. Dougherty said he blames the home improvement store for "letting me hang in there and just ignoring me."

A man in Boulder, Colorado, is suing Home Depot because he was the victim of a prankster who put glue on the toilet seat.
He is not suing because of the prank, but rather, because Home Depot employee's ignored his cries for help for about 15 minutes thinking it was a hoax. The man was recovering from a heart bypass surgery and thought he was having another heart attack when he got stuck. Paramedics had to unbolt the seat and as they were taking him out of the store, he passed out.

He did. Well it's a lawsuit. Sorry metal didn't see your post before I posted so I'll just merge them.
BTW don't freak out over your reputation as I'm playing with it and if I take a lot away I'll give it back to you. Trying to figure out how it's working. |

Hmm... that's up there with the woman with the hot coffee from Mickey D's.
Come on. That's so stupid, suing for something a 10-year-old would prank you on. Hey even I as a 10-year-old would leave lotion smeared around the toilet seat, but not as nefarious as super glue. I was a wee devil. I don't do that anymore, I grew up.

I swear some of these people have certainly got balls to frame a major chain over something.

I hope he dosn't get a thing.
 On another toilet related prank.. I heard about the trick of putting saran wrap across the toilet tank just under the seat. Invisable and makes a big mess when someone sits down to use the toilet.  (snicker... I don't want to laugh but...)

It appears that this guy had brought a similar butt-glued-to-toilet-seat suit against another business about a year ago. see:
http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/11/08/to....ap/index.html Hmmmm.... does this sound like the "Finger-in-the-chili" lawsuit to anyone else? Geez...you'd think that they'd at least try to come up with something original, wouldn't you? |

From Sin's link:
"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." By giving Bob the $3 million, everything will be okay! /sarcasm |
