Silly accidents

A Missouri man is suing a DIY store after he got stuck to a toilet seat while out shopping.

31 year old Hayword Rosales is seeking £12,500 in damages after pranksters covered the toilet seat in superglue.

Rosales claims he suffered cuts and bruises to his buttock and was off work for weeks.

In a seperate case a West Yorkshire woman is launching legal action against a store after a chain saw she brought from the store severed her hand.

40 year old mother of three Bridget Williams is an avid DIY fan and purchased the £30“Challenge Mitre” to help her put in a new kitchen. She claims she was putting in some kitchen units when the saw suddenly went out of control and ripped through her hand.

Surgeons were able to save the hand and sew it back on but it is now an inch shorter. She is seeking £100,000 in damages from the store.
