BOULDER, Colo. A Colorado man is suing Home Depot, claiming employees ignored his pleas for help after he became the butt of a prankster.
Bob Dougherty says he got stuck to a restroom toilet seat after someone smeared it with glue. He says employees thought he was kidding and waited 15 minutes to call an ambulance. He tells The Boulder Daily Camera "They just let me rot."
The lawsuit says Dougherty was recovering from heart bypass surgery and thought he was having a heart attack when he got stuck. The suit says Dougherty passed out as paramedics wheeled him out of the store and that the toilet seat separated from his skin, leaving abrasions.
The incident occurred on the day before Halloween in 2003.
