NESS CITY, Kan. - Deputies said a woman in western Kansas sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years, and they're investigating whether she was mistreated.This may turn out to have been a serious case of abuse or neglect, in which case I'll probably feel bad for making fun of the situation.
Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said a man called his office last month to report that something was wrong with his girlfriend.
Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman’s skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.
“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.”

“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.”
He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.
“And her reply would be, ‘Maybe tomorrow,”’ Whipple said. “According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom.”
The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that “there was something wrong with his girlfriend,” Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it took him two years to call.
But still...
TWO YEARS???
Didn't I see something like this on TV once?
That was a little different (woman spending three years on a sofa, not two years on a toilet).
The real question (that I know you're wondering about) is whether the boyfriend's place has more than one bathroom. And if it doesn't...
Actually, let's not go there. Let's not go any further with this. I'm out.
UPDATE: More info from AP. Apparently the woman has a phobia about leaving the bathroom.
