I bet Mr. Whipple of Charmin fame never saw anything in the bathroom quite like Mr. Whipple the Sheriff did.
A 35-year-old woman who sat on her boyfriend’s toilet for so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time he called police had a phobia about leaving the bathroom, the boyfriend said.
“She is an adult; she made her own decision,” said her boyfriend, Kory McFarren. “I should have gotten help for her sooner; I admit that. But after a while, you kind of get used to it.”
The case drew nationwide attention after Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the Ness City woman’s skin had grown around the seat in the two years she apparently was in the bathroom.
“We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital,” Whipple said. “The hospital removed it.”
After a while, you kind of get used to to your wife living on the toilet with her pants around her ankles. Alrighty then.
“She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body,” Whipple said. “It is hard to imagine. … I still have a hard time imagining it myself.”
Me too.

I heard this on the radio……..and am having a hard time grasping the boyfriend’s total acceptance of her sitting on the toilet for TWO years. I guess he never had to use it? I wish I could interview him. I have all kinds of questions. hehe
I remember a story some years back about an obese woman who never left her couch. The paramedics had to take the couch with her when they took her to the hospital.
I’m sorry, but that was taking “couch potato” to the extreme. How can you NOT go to the bathroom or shift position for years!?
#2 Tedtam, think about sleeping……..etc.
Not ever would I have even considered this a possibilty. Took me totally unaware.
Can you imagine what was growing in the toilet bowl that she covered for all that time. Flushing it only gets it somewhat cleaned. And how did she wipe her butt?? All this, the questions that come to mind. Thank goodness I finished lunch already.

No kidding! Too disgusting to imagine!
This gal clearly suffers from some kind of phobia, and can probably benefit greatly from treatment.
While I agree that her boyfriend should have done something earlier, I don’t think Sheriff Whipple’s department should be looking around for something to charge him with.
They are.
Self-deleted, mind going in way too many places.
It is crazy that the boyfriend should be faced with even the possibility of charges! The woman is an adult, you can’t force her to do anything!
And here I thought the kitchen-counter was sexy and spontaneous…silly me…
#10 It’s not sexy or spontaneous when it’s the only place available ( slaps self for thoughts)
Women always hoggin’ the bathroom. BUT TWO YEARS! DANG! EAT SOME BRAN, WOMAN!!!
He pee’d in the sink?
/need to go check on my step daughter.
No spends more time in there.
Hello, hello. You all right in there?
1560 AM had a great rant about this topic yesterday afternoon. I don’t know which person is more off their rocker - the toilet girl or the boyfriend that didn’t get help for her for 2 years.
If she can make a statement that she requested help in leaving the bathroom, and he refused to give her the telephone, etc…… then I suppose that would bring charges. But, she has had contact with the outside world, right? Friends, family, etc? See there is just too little info.
#16, AW:
You are being unreasonably kind. In TWO YEARS, the lady could have, should have, at least moved from the toilet seat. For all the reasons already stated by others, and probably a few more.

Can it be very long before someone does a movie or TV script around this? And then makes the movie or TV show? The mind reels.
Ken, perhaps I am, and my only experience with phobias are tv movies….. but can’t they be totally crippling?
Adee what would the title to the made for Tv movie be? ” The throne, and the woman who wouldn’t give it up?”
#18 Adee
I only caught part of the show, but I think Nip/Tuck did a story about the lady stuck to her couch. She died while the plastic surgeons were taking pieces of couch out of her flesh.
/shudder
I am so sorry but I cannot stop laughing. All of y’all were great but terrible with y’alls comments so here is my contribution.

I believe it’s caled an ANAL FIXATION!
#21 Emme! When I was tiny, Dad would leave the seat up once in a while, and I would find myself much in the same position as that lady!…. A wet hiney, and a little girl struggling to get out! Made me laugh at myself.
How did this happen where he didn’t do anything to get her out of the bathroom after 1 day??? Did he not recognize that she was in desperate need of some serious psychological help? It is hard to believe he let it go on that long.
These are two disgusting individuals. They both need to check into a mental facility. How nasty!!
Maybe our tax dollars can help. They don’t sound like “productive citizens”. He probably deposited her welfare check, along with his, every month.
TMI — I would think there would be major circulation problems after sitting there for an hour, much less a day. And did the boyfriend bring her food (I guess there was plenty of water)?
Someone is going to get a book deal or be on all the talk shows and this is all going to turn out to be some type of hoax…c’mon the Sheriff was named Whipple…..
