Sometimes you don't know whether to laugh or cry
This story comes to us straight out of Britney Spears' future.
Police in Ness City, Kansas were surprised at what they found when they responded to a call from a man who claimed, in the understatement of the year, that there was "something wrong" with his girlfriend.
The girlfriend in question was sitting on her boyfriend's toilet, sweats down around mid-thigh, literally stuck to the seat. In the two years she had been sitting there, her skin had grown around the seat, and her legs had atrophied. The seat had to be pried off from the toilet and removed from the woman's body later at a hospital.
For two years, the man had brought his girlfriend food and water, trying to convince her to get off the toilet. Finally, he called the police for help. Two years later.
Per the AP, "authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled." If it's a choice, I'm putting my money on "mentally."
(Thanks to Brian for the heads up on this)

I hope the seat was padded at least.

Cry. It's sad, not the least bit amusing. I'm putting my money on mentally disabled, too. Very sad.

Um, what kind of "food and water" had this man been bringing her during her two year toilet tenure that she couldn't get up???

This is sad and wrong on so many levels. How can this happen??? I think I might develop an irrational fear of toilets. I'm also thinking she's mentally unwell. :/

At least your maintenance man had the decency to leave.

That womans boyfriend should have had more love than that to let her suffer two years. If he had called the police or a mental health center she wouldn't have suffered like that.
