Woman sits on boyfriend’s toilet for two years
I have to wonder, was it a two bathroom house?
…and when the emergency room physician came to examine the women with the toilet seat stuck to her butt, the patient said “Doc, have you ever seen anything like this?”
He shrugged and said “Yes, many times, but I never saw one with a frame around it.”
What I love is this comment from a neighbor:
It doesn’t surprise you? Someone sat on a toilet seat for two years and her skin grafted itself to the rim, and you’re not surprised? Is this the kind of thing that she would normally do when you knew her? Was she in the habit of getting stuck to other ordinary household objects? How can this not surprise you?!
Ya know, I’m not one for reckless speculation, but …
What would they charge the boyfriend with? That bit doesn’t make any sense to me.
For not calling the police or the medics earlier? This guy was providing her with food and water for the whole two years that she sat on the toilet seat. He was therefore an abetting party in this bizzare event and had he not called the police when he did, quite possibly the woman could have come to some serious harm.
But this is truly bizzare to say the least!! I can’t imagine why she would do it. Was it perhaps some sort of a weird bet of sorts between the two? Was that why the boyfriend agreed to feed her where she was. But that might make sense if it was for a day or a week or so…but two years!!! :eek:
Some sort of reckless negligence/endangerment? The article said her legs had atrophied, so there’s a case to be made, methinks.
At least she didn’t have to wait to use the bathroom. She WAS the bathroom!
Perhaps, but the article indicates that she stayed where she was because she wanted to. He fed her and encouraged her to come out daily. I can’t imagine choosing to stay on the toilet for two years, but I don’t think I would call the police for something like that. After a few hours or a day I would be calling friends or the like to help encourage her to leave though.
I’d speculate the guy needs a psych eval too, and wouldn’t rush to charge him with a crime.
Am I sick for wanting pictures?
I am thinking of the pressure ulcers that must have resulted along her ischial tuberosities and thighs, as well as the contractures of her hips and knees.
I’m thinking sever pysch issues or mentally retarded. There can be no other explanation. And the guy must be “special” too.
So her getting stuck…that was just a result of sitting there so long? Or I mean…was she really overweight, and was that also part of it? I mean, you do hear stories about that kind of thing.
It could just be that the reporter asked if he’d be charged and no one was willing to say for sure that he wasn’t. If I were to speculate wildly about what a bunch of people I’ve never met might be thinking, then they might be considering that if she was stuck to the toilet, that might theoretically be a sort of imprisonment.
Despite the fact that she was saying she didn’t want to leave, she had gotten to the point where she couldn’t leave on her own if she wanted to.
Although it’s more probably what wisernow and bouv said. Am I evil for wondering if she made the Guinness Book of World Records?
I hope to heaven that there was a second toilet in that house.
It is wrong of me, but I’m slightly amused that the Sheriff quoted in the article is named “Mr. Whipple.”
The guy should have sold tickets.
So she never showered or changed clothes or anything this whole time? I mean did she literally NEVER GET UP AT ALL in 2 years?
She must be really messed up, I can’t imagine sitting anywhere that long, especially a toilet. Only good thing though was she was on a toilet…
I admire her commitment. Poor guy never had a chance to leave the seat up. I, too, would have conceded.
Did the toilet somehow go 2 years without getting clogged? :dubious: This is even weirder than that Nip/Tuck episode where the fat lady fused to her couch.
You’re crackin’ me up!
