Im sorry I think this is funny...
Now I feel bad for the man who just had surgery but picturing the whole thing in my head I am just giggling cause by the way the story is written it sounds like he was on the sales floor but in reality I think it was in the bathroom
Glued to toilet, man sues Home Depot

DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- Home Depot is defending a lawsuit filed by a man who claims one of the chain's stores ignored his cries for help after he fell victim to a prank and was glued to a toilet seat.
Bob Dougherty, 57, of nearby Nederland, said he became stuck to a bathroom toilet seat last year after somebody smeared glue on it.
"They left me there, going through all that stress," Dougherty told The Daily Camera, of Boulder. "They just let me rot."
His lawsuit, filed Friday, said Dougherty was recovering from heart bypass surgery at the time and thought he was having a heart attack. A store employee who heard him calling for help informed the head clerk via radio, but the head clerk "believed it to be a hoax," the lawsuit said.
Home Depot spokeswoman Kathryn Gallagher said she could not comment on pending litigation.
According to the lawsuit, store officials called for an ambulance after about 15 minutes. Paramedics unbolted the toilet seat.
Dougherty, "frightened and humiliated," passed out as he was being wheeled out of the store, court papers said.
The lawsuit said the toilet seat separated from his skin, leaving abrasions.
"This is not Home Depot's fault," Dougherty said. "But I am blaming them for letting me hang in there and just ignoring me."

OMG, they sue people for everything now!! I would've left him there too, who would know that he was actually glued to the seat
Did you ever see Jackass when they did that prank in the hardware store with the toilet.... maybe they thought that's what was happening

All I kept thinking of was the commercial where the guy was in the Home Depot- like store and took down his pants and "tested" the potty seat.
