Guy Glued To A Toilet Seat Sues?! @Law By Mike

Indeed, why didn’t he look?
Let’s analyse various common off the shelf adhesives.
Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue to you average consumers.) is nose burningly pungent when still in a liquid form, and doesn’t stick to a second surface when dry.
Contact adhesive is usually a fawn/brown colour, also strong smelling and retains the smell for some time after becoming dry. It may stick to a second surface when dry, but not permanently. It takes a few minutes for a permanent adhesion, and works best if both surfaces have the adhesive on them. Two pack adhesives, surprise surprise, also have a strong distinctive smell when still liquid, and like contact adhesive, retain some of that smell once dry. Two pack also won’t stick to anything once dry. Cyanoacrylate is the best contender, but it would have required the prankster to have put the glue on the seat literally just before the plaintiff stepped into the cubicle. Almost everyone I have ever spoken to always checks a seat for drips and stains before sitting, and if they are like me, will wipe the seat anyway. Now, if the plaintiff is a Sit With No Care type person, never looks, and has no sense of smell and can stick onions in his eyes without a reaction, then none of the three most common adhesives were on that seat. So, in conclusion, I’m going with the plaintiff allegedly applying the adhesive himself in the hope of unlawfully acquiring a damages payout.

Isn’t this what George and Harold did in that one Captain Underpants book?

I believe a similar situation happened in McDonald's, a five-year-old girl use the washroom and a bunch of teenagers put super glue on the seat and the poor girl was stuck the toilet calling for her mom, and during that she was trying to get up of the toilet part of her skin got ripped up and the teenagers went to jail

No the even have signs that say don't sit or stand on display items

I mean when you really need to take a shit, it’s pretty hard to see the glue blended in with the white toilet seat so saying he should’ve seen it is pretty stupid

This isnt home depots fault. You gotta check what you're sitting on when it comes to public bathrooms. You shouldnt even be sitting on the seat like that anyhow. I'd have been like, gimme 3 and I'm cool

That’s literally an episode of Bob’s burgers! His name was even Bob!!!

The question i have is, had you been his lawyer, would you advise taking the 2k or hold out for more?

isn't there a reasonable assumption of risk issue here? It doesn't seem reasonable that home depot needs to worry about people being glued to toilet seats

Only in america this can happen

Yes because I love looking at the toilet seat before I sit

Number 2 evidence 😂😂
Funny chit !

Can I participate in the Camp Lajune for water contamination even though I was stationed there for 3 months this year and not prior to 1980’s?

I call BS on that guy. Places like this DO offer disposable seat covers, so unless they were out he shouldn't have had trouble finding one. Even so he had to have looked for them which are normally placed in a box that sits ABOVE THE TOILET meaning he had to have looked down at the toilet seat before dropping trow. Regardless, this isn't negligence on Home Depot's part but his own. Someone went in, stuck glue to the seat, and he sat on it without looking. However that he supposedly didn't find any seat covers to use tells me he had to have looked at the seat first before he did his business so he very most likely did it himself to try and sue them.

He really should have taken that settlement. You can't hold every business liable for vandalism by a third party. You have to find the guy with the glue; you know, the real responsible party.

It was clapping

Wait… Was he wearing pants or shorts or did he drop trousers? Anyone check the entry video to find the other 2 – 4 other idiots daring him to do it?
