Ok, let's say you're the home depot employee. And let's say it's your typical home depot restroom--not a stall--a locked room with a single toilet. And as you pass by, you hear, "help help! i'm having a heart attack!" What do you do? Most likely, you run to the phone, call 911, or get a key to the restroom and open it up. Hoax or not, you had better do something, for the reasons you describe.

Now, let's change the situation a bit. As you pass by the bathroom door, you hear instead, "help help! i'm glued to the toilet seat and I don't know what to do!" Now what do you do? If I were in that situation, I'd think it was a hoax. I'd probably talk to the guy try to feel out the situation (figuratively). In any case, it's *NOT* an emergency, in any way, shape or form. Being glued to the toilet seat may really suck, but your airway, breathing, and circulation are not subject to any additional threat of compromise, whether or not you have had major surgery recently! If that were me on the toilet seat, I'd be telling the employee, "Man, I swear I'm not joking. Please help me," but would be very surprised if they immediately believed me or did anything without a little time passing. If I had had that major surgery recently, I'd probably be telling myself to stay calm and not to panic, because 1) there would be nothing to do but wait, and 2) my heart would probably be better off without the additional stress of panicing.

Finally, who's to blame for all this? THE IDIOT WHO PUT GLUE ON THE TOILET SEAT!! Why not put blame where blame is due?
