Only In America
Once again, the Americans have proven their uncanny ability to be the stupidest, oddest, most not-of-our-world crazies on the face of this earth.
In Kansas, a woman went to the toilet two years ago and decided not to leave. Sheriff Whipple was among authorities who discovered the woman last month living in the bathroom of a mobile home she shared with her boyfriend. Yes! She had a boyfriend.
It seems she had a phobia of leaving the bathroom. It began with her spending a few hours there. Then progressed to a few days. The latest was two years. Her arse cheeks had welded themselves to the toilet seat – the skin had grown around it. I know there are a number of quirky kinks to the whole OCD thing, and I guess this is another one of those kinks, but how the hell could her boyfriend let two years go by before finally deciding he should call someone about it??? Here’s what he had to say:
It was her choice. She is an adult, she made her own decision. It was my fault I should have gotten help for her sooner — I admit that. But after a while, you kind of get used to it.
You kind of get used to it??? I’m not sure I’d get used to bringing her lunch and dinner to the bathroom each day. I doubt I could get used to having a conversation with a bathroom door. And I’m definite that I will not be sparing a moments thought to their sex life. Eugh!
The serious side of it is that these two are clearly mentally imbalanced in some way and hopefully they’ll both receive the care they need. But….come on….two years?
