Ohio Man Reported Stuck to Chair With His Own Waste

I think I speak for most people when i say:

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

[abigailsmybaby]

That’s cute how they slipped a video about Tilly the Orca right in the middle of the story about a morbidly obese man. Were they eluding to something there?

Ohio Man Reported Stuck to Chair With His Own Waste

Doug, What no song to fit this?
(They’ll never get thru the Cajon to ya!)

[BunnySlippers]

I’ll say it ... somebody was bringing him food.

[Perdogg]

What a waste.

[SIDENET]

When firefighters arrived, they discovered that the man's skin was stuck to the chair with urine and feces. Maggots were visible, according to local reports.

This is one of the reasons I would NOT want to be a firefighter.

He had two roommates, someone must have been feeding him and nobody notices his condition?

[blueplum]

two roommates?
no phone?
no relatives visiting?
no roommate friends visiting?

something is wrong with this story

On Sunday, the 43-year-old man's two roommates discovered him unconscious. They called authorities.

Yeah, that's the best time to call the authorities - after your roommate who has been glued to his chair by his own waste for two years finally passes out. Calling before then might be premature.

"The living room where the man lived in his chair was very filthy, very deplorable. It's unbelievable that somebody lives in conditions like that" Jim Chase, a code enforcer for the city, told ABC affiliate WKEF said.

Thank goodness we have a code enforcer to protect to public. /s

A good rule of thumb is that if you get up from the chair and the chair goes up with you, its time for a diet.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Chat.

OMG.........as an EMT I am just grateful it wasn’t my call.

[Nepeta]

A horrible story, but not unique. I recall others, including one about a woman whose skin had grown into the fabric of the sofa she lived on. Someone had to be feeding her as well.

Two years?

He voted for Obama then plopped his big ass in the chair and wasted away.

Sad. He's probably not the only one, though.

[Revolting cat!]

There is something to be said for a man’s favourite chair!

[mamelukesabre]

You’d think a person would at least be able to get their fatass into a car and drive to a grocery store once every few days. Then get up and get to a refrigerator when hungry. Then get up and go use the toilet like a human being.

If you can’t even do that, then someone is caring for you and they are partly responsible for your predicament. I know what I would do to someone like that if they expected me to carry food to them.

I’D QUIT *&^%ING DOING IT!!!

I’d make sure he got one normal sized meal every other day until he could get his own fatass up and get his own dam food.

[SamAdams76]

Until I see some pictures, I am not convinced this story is genuine.

[sinanju]

That’s what all these “superobese” types all have in common:

Someone to wait on them hand-and-foot.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to become that fat.

I’m betting it was pretty sordid. He was almost certainly the owner of the house and was getting disability and SSDI. The “roomates” were probably bums who fed him in exchange for a place to stay. I doubt they gave a damn about him.

Sorry if I don’t shed any tears. The first thing that flashes through my mind when I hear about these superobese rescue stories is how much these people are costing thee and me cause they damn sure aren’t paying their own way.
