Glued to toilet, man sues Home Depot

DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- Home Depot is defending a lawsuit filed by a
man who claims one of the chain's stores ignored his cries for help
after he fell victim to a prank and was glued to a toilet seat.
Bob Dougherty, 57, of nearby Nederland, said he became stuck to a
bathroom toilet seat last year after somebody smeared glue on it.
"They left me there, going through all that stress," Dougherty told The
Daily Camera, of Boulder. "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. Home Depot spokeswoman Kathryn Gallagher said she could not
comment on pending litigation.
According to the lawsuit, store officials called for an ambulance after
about 15 minutes. Paramedics unbolted the toilet seat. Dougherty,
"frightened and humiliated," passed out as he was being wheeled out of
the store, court papers said. The lawsuit said the toilet seat separated
from his skin, leaving abrasions.
"This is not Home Depot's fault," Dougherty said. "But I am blaming them
for letting me hang in there and just ignoring me."
