Woman gets stuck on toilet, suffers burns

[jerry611]

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa - A woman who became stuck to a toilet seat in a shopping mall restroom was treated at a local hospital after paramedics used fingernail polish remover to free her, officials said.

The 53-year-old Council Bluffs woman suffered burns to her skin in the incident, which happened Wednesday, officials with the Fire Department said.

Investigators said they believe someone placed a cement compound on the toilet seat in the restroom at the Mall of the Bluffs.

Investigators say they are treating the case as an assault and vandalism.

The woman, who wasn't identified, told KETV in Omaha, Neb., that the burns are painful and that the incident was one of the most embarrassing moments in her life.

Daughter getting ready for school 1988 + hot curling iron on seat + sleepy mom = burned ass!




I was the butt of many jokes.

My butt, er, heart goes out to this poor woman!

10. Why would you put a curling iron on a toilet seat?

[Mnemosyne]

12. Plug next to sink and toilet. Small bathroom and a 9 yo.n/t

15. I saw a story on TV (I think a show about unlikely injuries)

Someone had spilled a caustic cleaning agent all over a toilet seat and the floor nearby. A woman sat on the seat, and when she felt the stuff burning, in her rush to get up, slipped and fell in the puddle on the floor. She spent a long time not able to sit or lie on her back.

16. ONE OF the most embarrassing moments in her life?!?!?!

That tops any embarrassing moment story I have by far. What on earth has happened to this woman that this is merely "one of" several most embarrassing moments? She needs to share.

[Deja Q]

17. You know, I try to wipe the seat off before sitting and dumping...

That aside, the miscreants ought to be found. It's depraved.

[ecstatic]

18. sounds like some sort of scam

I don't care if the lid is up and I 'appear' to be the first person using the bathroom that day--you will never catch me (or most women) plopping down on a public toilet! Yet we're to believe that this woman not only sat her bare bottom on a public toilet seat but also did so without looking first? Something is definitely not right here! This woman is either trying to get paid or desperate for attention!

19. Does seem mighty odd...

I'm paranoid enough to carry disinfecting wipes and seat covers in my purse.
