The stainless steel lavatory was removed from the cubicle in Brierley Hill, near Dudley, West Midlands, with the man still attached.

An ambulance crew and a rapid response vehicle attended the scene, but failed to free him.

An ambulance service spokesman explained: "The man was using the facilities when he became stuck on the seat. It appears as though someone had left glue on it.

"Despite best efforts it was not possible to remove the 35-year-old local man from his position.

"So, with the help of a local authority and the fire and rescue service, the man was removed from the cubicle still attached to the stainless steel toilet."

He was taken to hospital where a doctor used special chemicals to free him while he was inside the ambulance.

"He appeared to be none the worse for his ordeal other than being understandably somewhat embarrassed," the spokesman said.

The toilet, meanwhile, was returned to the public conveniences

Last time I read about this happening it was in a Home Depot store. Turned out to be a hoax.

Have to wonder what he thought the glue was when he sat down?

It seems Home Depot has encountered this problem more than once ...

A “practical joker” deserves applause for his wit
according to its quality.
Bastinado is about right.
For exceptional wit one might grant keelhauling.
But staking him out on an anthill should be reserved
for the very wittiest.

Good grief, doesn’t anyone use a toilet set cover???

(BTW, if there was ever a time that I’d think about not using one with a public toilet, it was completely cured by my freshman year in the dorms at Cal. I will fashion them out of toilet paper, paper towels or whatever, but my ass ain’t touching the seat.)
