Glue on Toilet Seat Called 'Sick Joke'

CAIRNS, Australia (Aug. 24) - A man who used a public toilet in a shopping mall was taken to a hospital to have the toilet seat removed from his backside after someone smeared it with glue in what an official condemned Monday as a sick joke.
Police urged possible witnesses to come forward after the 58-year-old man was humiliated in the northeastern city of Cairns by the prank.
An ambulance was called to help the man after he was found stuck by fast-acting adhesive glue to a toilet seat on Saturday in the busy shopping mall.
Paramedics removed the seat from the toilet and took him to a hospital, where medical staff used industrial solvents to get it off.
Cairns local government official Di Forsyth said the man, who was not identified, was not injured but was "extremely embarrassed" by his experience.
"I'm disgusted that a gentlemen has had to go through that because someone thinks it's funny," Forsyth said. "It's a sick joke."

Quite a few prudes here tonight - maybe in Australia there aren't as many illegal aliens from S. America trashing up the country, so the restrooms are cleaner.

Always line the seat with toilet paper before you sit, guys. Women have been doing this for years. If a man has to sit, line that seat.

First of all to even use a public restroom unless it's a total emergency is not smart. Secondly if you must use a public facility, at least have the good sense to not put your bare butt directly on the seat even if it LOOKS clean. Most germs, etc. do not jump up and say hey, here I am. For some reason I just don't feel all that sorry for this guy.

A man who used a public toilet in a shopping mall was taken to a hospital to have the toilet seat removed from his backside after someone smeared it with glue in what an official condemned Monday as a sick joke._________I am not convinced this was done by kids or teens. It could have been done by an adult with a grudge about the parking, customer service, prices, dirty toilets ..anything. As for not seeing the glue, he is almost 60 years of age and perhaps his sight wasn't 20/20. Perhaps he didn't use a seat cover because he REALLY had to go and barely made it as it was. How humiliating for him. How did he get someone to help him? If someone at the mall said their tush was stuck would you believe them? Who do you call for a situation like that? lol.
