A woman found herself in a sticky situation after going to the restroom at The Home Depot store at Banks Crossing last week.
Someone had apparently put glue on all of the toilet seats in the women’s restroom and she didn’t realize it until she became stuck on the seat. Emergency medical services personnel were called to the store to help remove the woman from the toilet seat, according to an incident report filed at the Banks County Sheriff’s Office.
The woman had to be taken to a Gainesville hospital for treatment.
The manger of the store found a brown paper sack in the restroom that contained a bottle of Loctite GO2 glue.
The manager also noted that all of the toilet seats had a glue-like substance on them. Three toilet seats were damaged with a total value of $60.
No. Instant glue only polymerizes when it's deprived of oxygen
“Some people are amazingly disgusting and don’t seem to care. In highschool I had a job at a small chain dept store. The bathrooms were nasty and the womens was always worse.
In one case it appears someone had exploded with feces on the wall, floor, and ceiling of the stall. Women were still using it.”...
You haven’t seen anything until you work in a plant with 200-300 women using those rest rooms. PIGS!!! Not to mention what they did with their tampon injectors., Our plant maintenance people had to completely remove the piping and lift stations to clean out and/or redo the plumbing systems. Double PIGS!!!!!
When there aren't toilet seat covers, I just lay down a layer of toilet paper on the seat. Particularly in the era of HIV.
Seat covers. Exactly. If I have to sit down, I use those (which most restrooms now provide in each stall) or I use toilet paper to cover the seat. If the seat has anything on it, forget it.
NO KIDDING and even THEN, it’s IFFY!!
“Thats why we pee standing up!!!”
You got me there, FRiend...but surely you don’t do everything standing up!
This is definitely a sticky situation!
I always use seat protectors or lay toilet paper on the seat before sitting down.
One reason we vacation with an RV is to avoid using public restrooms which are filthy in most areas of the US and particularly in the south. In contrast we find the public restrooms in Canada very clean.
LOL!!!!
Loctite GO2 is very strong even if you just GO1.
This story sounds very familiar. I am positive that this happened another time and that it turned out just as you describe.
And what woman actually sits on a public toiled seat? Ewww!

Mama says, never ever ever ever ever sit on a public restroom toilet seat. EVER.
Then, not only that but here’s mama’s ritual: after you go into said nasty toilet and have emerged for your hand washing, grab a paper towel and store it under your arm. Then, turn on the water, get the soap and wash your hands thoroughly up to elbows. But afterwards, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING WITH YOUR BARE HANDS. Grab the stored paper towel, dry your hands, turn off the water with the paper towel, walk to the door and then proceed to use same paper towel to open the door with (knob or handle) then, hold the door open with your foot and try your best to make the shot to the waste basket. Simple as that, you’re clean enough to do surgery. Oh, and one more thing, never ever ever use the hand dryer. Mama says that only stirs up the nasty germs in the room!!! Ha ha
She should have picked the stall with the seat up.
BTW wouldn’t the glue have dried pretty much before she sat down???
Shopping for a Christmas lawsuit? I'm guessing there are easier ways.
Who doesn't go through a checking/cleaning ritual prior to sitting down?
This story stinks... ; )
Does no one actually check for both cleanliness and TP before they enter a public rest room any more? Glue of that type would have gone through one of those paper covers. I smell a rat in this story.
FYI
bingo! Super glue drys extremely fast. Gorilla glue gets puffy, and does not dry fast, it is quite visable.
I'm sure it did for the emergency crews . . . ;)
