Man sues Home Depot after sitting on glue-covered toilet seat Dumbass
Hot on the heels of yesterday's story about a stupid almost-lawsuit is another - this time an actual lawsuit. Yahoo has a story about a man who fell for a prank at a Home Depot and got glued to a toilet seat. Now, he's suing Home Depot, for humiliating him by not responding to his cries for help, and causing embarassment.
"They left me there, going through all that stress," Dougherty told The (Boulder) Daily Camera. "They 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 head clerk "believed it to be a hoax," the lawsuit said. The lawsuit said after about 15 minutes, store officials called for an ambulance. Paramedics unbolted the toilet seat, and while wheeling a "frightened and humiliated" Dougherty out of the store, he passed out.

The lawsuit said the toilet seat separated from his skin, leaving abrasions.

I wonder what the guy's made out of, if all it takes is 15 minutes for him to start "rotting." Also, what kind of super-fast-instant-light-speed glue was this?!? And how did he not see it or feel it before he got glued to the seat? If all it takes is 15 minutes of humiliation to create a lawsuit, I'm gonna go around gluing my ass to toilet seats in various places and getting rich! The guy even admitted Home Depot was not responsible: "'This is not Home Depot's fault,' he said. 'But I am blaming them for letting me hang in there and just ignoring me.'"

Update: Looks like the guy has done this before...
maybe he stole my idea? : http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_4221114,00.html

    The lawyer representing a Murrysville woman being sued for gluing a man’s penis to his stomach said that it was part of an active sex life between the two former partners.

    “They did sex games,” said attorney Chuck Evans of Pittsburgh. “This was not uncommon.”

    The man, Kenneth Slaby, 58, of Pittsburgh, is seeking more than $30,000 in punitive damages from Gail O’Toole, 56.

    O’Toole glued Slaby’s penis to his stomach, his scrotum to his leg and his rectum shut on May 7, 2000, at her Murrysville home while Slaby was napping, according to court documents. She’d also colored his hair with nail polish and wrote a profanity on his skin.

    O’Toole testified that Slaby saw humor in his condition. Slaby told the jury he was in pain and scared.
