It Would NEVER happen to a woman.

[DawnCt1]

I am sure that we have all heard by now the story of the man who is suing Home Depot because he was a victim of a prank and his calls for help were ignored for 15 minutes. Apparently someone applied glue to a toilet seat and he sat on it, requiring evacuation and a trip to the emergency room. I told DH that it would NEVER happen to me or to most women because we have learned to "hover" and flush with our feet. Am I right??

an evacuation he didn't count on

an evacuation he didn't count on

I do love puns and that was an intentional choice of words.

I think women are smart enough to look at the toilet seat and see Goo on it and not sit on it. I also agree that women "hover."

 

[GoofieRuthie]

unfortunately, I'd be stuck too. I refuse to hover. I just wipe the seat real well. I feel that if more people would just sit the darn seats wouldn't be so nasty anyway.


I am wondering though.....Did someone apply the superglue just before he sat down??? That stuff dries really quick.

Why is he suing Home Depot though? I imagine that they didn't hear him at first.

Flush with their foot...? Did I miss a class somewhere? I have never done that, since I wash my hands right after (and you can use TP), it doesn't seem necessary...but now that I know there are shoe germs up there......! I don't hover either. I check and wipe if necessary, occasionally I cover the seat with TP or seat cover if it seems especially dirty, but I am definitely sitting! Super glue on the bum sounds pretty painful, it may be sue-worthy....

They heard him and thought it was a prank.

I.

That's true but its like the "saving a table" issue at counter service at WDW. If no one saved a table before they had their food, everyone would have a place to sit but since most everyone saves a table, if you don't save a table you won't have a place to sit. So therefore, I will hover.

I've never hovered, but I use my foot to flush.

But I look before I sit, so I would not have sat in glue.

I missed that part. Oops!

This happened at the Home Depot about 5 minutes from my house. I guess I won't be using their bathroom

Yup, flush with your shoe and then use the TP to open the door, and then wash your hands and open the door with a paper towel so you can leave with clean hands.

i find it strange that the glue wasn't dry when he went in. As stated before the glue dries fast. I wonder if he didn't do it to himself so he could sue the BIG store? I wouldn't think that the bathroom stalls in the men's room turn over that fast unlike a lady's bathroom area. Just a thought...

 

[Rhonda922]

I always "hover" and use my foot to flush. The less I have to touch in the public bathrooms, the better!!

 

[monarchsfan16]

I flush with my foot but I don't have the balance required to hover.
His story is just too fishy.

 

[nativetxn]

If that was a prank it wasn't funny.

 

[aprilgail2]

I always flush with my foot...would never touch that thing!! I also wash my hands and then use the paper towel to open the bathroom door since some people don't even wash their hands and then open the door...iIf I bare handed it all their germs would then be on my hands!!

The locals around here doubt his story. Too many weird twists to it. Many around here believe that the guy glued himself to the toilet.

I wondered about that when I first heard this story because Super Glue dries in no time. I've glued my fingers together on accident plenty of times while using it.
