now THAT would be embarrassing. I couldnt do that to someone ‘cos I’d hate it to happen to me. At the same time however, I giggle

I’d think it was a hoax too I think…

wasn’t going to, but couldn’t resist: (sorry, I know this is crap)
Now that’s what you call a pain in the arse.

Whether you think it’s a hoax or not, you investigate. If it is a hoax, you toss the hoaxer out of the store, and make it clear he’s not welcome to come back.

Otherwise, if it’s not a hoax, you get sued, and not in a good way.

I wish I were there for that, lol…..it would have been funnier if it happened to someone that was healthy….

terry, that depends, our school doesnt investigate hardly anything apart from drugs and weaponds due to the amount of pranks there are. You dont know how many people have pranked this store with stuff.

steph, I wish I was too lol.

Unless it was super glue, I wouldn’t think it would dry fast enough to catch someone.  And even if it was, why didn’t the paramedics have any solvent?  I suppose it could have been a rarer industrial glue.

also, didn’t this guy feel the oozy stuff on the seat?

of course, if he didn’t, I know people *cough cough my dad cough* who spend hours on the loo…

If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.

It could have been a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) I suppose.

remember…..this was at the home depot…..they have every glue you can imagine….

hmm, didn’t think about that, your right steph

But most of Home Depot’s glues wouldn’t have set instantly.  He should have noticed something and had time to get up.  Frankly, I’m rather disgusted that he didn’t even wipe the seat off before sitting down.
