Home Depot Sued Man Glued Toliet Bowl

US hardware chain Home Depot is in a sticky situation, defending a lawsuit from a man who claims its Louisville store ignored his cries for help after he was glued to a toilet seat.



Bob Dougherty, 57, said he was stuck to a toilet seat on which somebody smeared glue on October 30, 2003, and felt "tremendous panic" when he realised he could not get up. "They [store staff] just let me rot," he said.

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.
