Video: The sadly obligatory “woman sat on toilet for two years” clip

There’s no actual footage of her plastered to the can, thank god, just the haunted look of the cop who saw it and lived to tell the tale. It’s too awful to joke about, especially when you hear about the physical repercussions, but, er, what’s the deal with the “boyfriend”? Your quote of the day:
Babcock’s boyfriend said the two had a normal relationship — except that it all happened in the bathroom.
They’ve lived together for 16 years, since she was 19, which I guess shows a certain … devotion? His justification for not doing something sooner: “She is an adult; she made her own decision.” Exit question: Anyone not think there’s a lot more to their “relationship” than meets the eye?

Seriously. What LimeyGeek said.

Bryan Whipple is a damaged man. Many many years of expensive therapy will be needed.
LimeyGeek on March 13, 2008 at 12:13 PM
If you made up a story like this noone would believe it.
Now THAT’s frightening.

ER Doc #1: “Did you ever see anything like that before?”
ER Doc #2: “Yes, but not framed like that!”
Rimshot please…
rbb on March 13, 2008 at 12:14 PM
That there’s one fine lookin’ double wide, but what exactly is that thing in the front yard that looks like an 80 mm mortar tube laying down?
Alden Pyle on March 13, 2008 at 12:14 PM
Yes, kids, that’s love for you. And here comes the obligatory pun…
Talk about your relationship going into the crapper.
(groans, applause)
Thank you, thank you.

What can ya say? Some ladies take longer in the bathroom than others.
lorien1973 on March 13, 2008 at 12:15 PM
The cop deserves hazard pay or retirement. Now.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on March 13, 2008 at 12:15 PM
Her favorite song was brown eyed girl.
lorien1973 on March 13, 2008 at 12:16 PM
I think it is a pipe post in concrete that has been pulled out of the ground and laid on its side.
txsurveyor on March 13, 2008 at 12:17 PM
Someone should have told her to stay away from the large gordita platter.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on March 13, 2008 at 12:17 PM
Yeah, lorien1973, I hope they had more than one can in the house, or that boyfriend would be fresh out o’ luck.
p40tiger on March 13, 2008 at 12:17 PM
Maybe she was calling to her boyfriend for another roll of TP for the entire 2 years?
I know I can tune out my wife in about 3 milliseconds if needed.
omnipotent on March 13, 2008 at 12:18 PM
Seriously. This is worthy of Se7en.
This story is actually freaking me out. There is no way this should happen in a normal world.
SHE GREW SKIN AROUND THE SEAT AND HER LEGS WERE INFECTED AND ATROPHIED – FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!
Which means she presumably never got off the seat. So how did the dude take a crap? Did he aim carefully and pee between her legs?
This is awful.
LimeyGeek on March 13, 2008 at 12:19 PM
Poor cop, he looks so shaken. This is, almost assuredly, not what he signed up for.
I want to know, why didn’t she get off the seat? He brought her “food and water”?
Why does this sound like an awesomely lame Hollywood slasher flick?
emailnuevo on March 13, 2008 at 12:19 PM
I don’t, not at first blush anyway. We all make accommodations for the quirks of our loved ones. And if our loved ones have really strange quirks, we just make greater accommodations. After all, what was this guy supposed to do? He was probably too embarassed to tell anyone that his girlfriend is so terrified of going out that she wouldn’t leave the toilet. That’s not the kind of problem you can just bring up to anyone else, unless it goes on for two years, at which point you finally break down and call the cops.
We all have our bizarre phobias. I used to hate calling pizza delivery places. I couldn’t tell you why, I just REALLY didn’t like doing it. I got over it, but it’s just one of those things.
Enrique on March 13, 2008 at 12:19 PM
I think Satan is awarding you a gold star for that
LimeyGeek on March 13, 2008 at 12:19 PM
Yeah, that’s really all I can say.
MarkoMancuso on March 13, 2008 at 12:20 PM
That double wide probably has one bathroom…where did he go? How was she fed…did they have sex?…how did she vote?…is she a supporter of Obama?…so many questions…who cares…
right2bright on March 13, 2008 at 12:22 PM
I have a joke, but I don’t wanna be banned! It’s been killin’ me since yesterday, too! ARGH!
lorien1973 on March 13, 2008 at 12:23 PM
QUIRKS?
QUIRKS?
This is well beyond quirks my friend. This fell through the bottom of insanity and into a whole ‘nuther dimension of crazy.
LimeyGeek on March 13, 2008 at 12:23 PM
Without breaking HIIPA laws, I can say some of the people I work with in Fire Rescue saw a similar situation a few years ago with a woman who sat on a couch for several years.
Trust me the descriptions were alot worse than this.
Fires1 on March 13, 2008 at 12:26 PM
Are we sure this is a legit story?
Hoodlumman on March 13, 2008 at 12:27 PM
Toi-boy.

@#$% or get of the pot…..I will stay on the pot.
TroubledMonkey on March 13, 2008 at 12:30 PM
She was caught up in a Larry Craig fantasy.
On the other hand I have some relatives I just don’t want to see, too, **heading to the loo**
Alden Pyle on March 13, 2008 at 12:30 PM
email me alden_pyle2000@yahoo.com I won’t ban you.
Alden Pyle on March 13, 2008 at 12:31 PM
Actually, I think there was a lot less to the relationship …
doufree on March 13, 2008 at 12:32 PM
From personal experience, I believe it’s what remains of an in-ground basketball hoop. When we got rid of ours, it was a big black pipe with a bunch of concrete at the bottom.
amerpundit on March 13, 2008 at 12:33 PM
Geez I better move before my butt glues itself to this desk chair………….

That’s nothing.
Dick Cheney spent almost 8 years in a small super-secured bunker 150 feet under the White House.
Indy Conservative on March 13, 2008 at 12:34 PM
She was just reading a really, really, really good book. Slowly. Really, really, really slowly.
Frozen Tex on March 13, 2008 at 12:35 PM
I’d say, WHAT THE SH*T!
jimmer on March 13, 2008 at 12:36 PM
Why did he leave her on the pot for 2 years? He thought it only -felt- like 2 years.
lorien1973 on March 13, 2008 at 12:37 PM
Is it just me or does the cop look like he’s trying really hard not to laugh during the interview as he explains the extrication process??
AZ_Mike on March 13, 2008 at 12:38 PM
This was an up-scale double wide. It had two bathrooms according to reports I read. I am still trying to imagine the aerobics involved to conduct a normal relationship on the toilet.
bopbottle on March 13, 2008 at 12:38 PM
But Mr. Whipple came to save her!

Enoxo on March 13, 2008 at 12:40 PM
Yes. I think it was one of those sicko master/slave relationships. She is mentally ill and he got off on her pain and suffering. I hope they nail the bastard.
Blake on March 13, 2008 at 12:41 PM
Lid tight.
(Hey! I’m on a roll!)
Shy Guy on March 13, 2008 at 12:42 PM
No. I’ve seen that look in the eyes of WW1 vets that survived trench warfare.
LimeyGeek on March 13, 2008 at 12:42 PM
The final clip of the video of the progressing closeup of a toilet bowl…. just was not necessary.
AverageJoe on March 13, 2008 at 12:42 PM
I hope she had something to read.
Travis1 on March 13, 2008 at 12:42 PM
Paints a pretty visual image in the ol’ gray matter, doesn’t it?
Now try unforgetting it?
Where’s Slublog when you need him?

Where’s Kevin Spacey when you really need him?
BohicaTwentyTwo on March 13, 2008 at 12:45 PM
Exactly. We’re all tarnished by it now.
AP has a great deal to answer for ;)

Where are the PETA pickets?
landlines on March 13, 2008 at 12:50 PM
I think Enrique has a point. And I think denial plays a role. I’ve seen people with grotesque tumors that obviously has been growing for months or years finally come to the Dr because a family member or friend sees them. They honestly think it’s no big deal, and as the condition worsens, the denial grows along with it.
mikeyboss on March 13, 2008 at 12:51 PM
I’m not afraid:
If they did, it had to be in the pooper.
James on March 13, 2008 at 12:56 PM
A couple of questions come to mind.
1. Where did her boyfriend go to the bathroom?
2. Define normal relationship?
3. My legs fall asleep if Im on the pot to long.
what about her.
4. no doubt she is a Dem. Who do you thing she is for Obama or Hillary??
Fandango on March 13, 2008 at 12:59 PM
Light a match!
hanzblinx on March 13, 2008 at 1:00 PM
I’ll wager she was morbidly obese and had difficulty moving in the first place. Might as well plant your ass on the crapper, I suppose. I mean, how else could the seat grow into her ass?
I pity the poor cops who had to wedge her out.
Doc Mike on March 13, 2008 at 1:02 PM
I loved the split screen in the video, like they were going to get react quotes from the toilet or something.
DrSteve on March 13, 2008 at 1:07 PM
I thought the same thing. Mr. Whipple saved her a$$ – literally.
foxforce91 on March 13, 2008 at 1:08 PM
Where the hell did HE use the bathroom???? EWWWWW!!!!
robblefarian on March 13, 2008 at 1:17 PM
Why am I not supprised he lives in a trailer?
Normal relationship?
Sure I mean, Who hasn’t had sex with a girl who has a commode growing out of her a55?
ronsfi on March 13, 2008 at 1:17 PM
Most disturbing story of all time.
Dr. Manhattan on March 13, 2008 at 1:25 PM
LimeyGeek, I’m reeeally hoping either they had a second bathroom, or the boyfriend paid a visit to the neighbors when nature called. Then again, maybe he just watered and fertilized the vegetation in the back yard. I’d like to know too… then again I’m not sure I really want to know. You know?
taznar on March 13, 2008 at 1:28 PM
Looks like they had a second bathroom.
Pax americana on March 13, 2008 at 1:32 PM
HAHA! A lot less graphic than my joke, but it gets the same point across.
tee hee hee! Poop jokes are always funny.
lorien1973 on March 13, 2008 at 1:43 PM
Assuming she had ‘grown around’ the seat, how did she wipe over the two years? Or did she? Why am I even trying to visualize this?
Think_b4_speaking on March 13, 2008 at 1:47 PM
Yeah, and I’m not really into toilet humor, anyway.
Perpetual Student on March 13, 2008 at 1:48 PM
Without seeing a picture of the wife, I have some horrifying ideas of how they might have done spousal duties… and for those who are wondering, you might find it in a title like “Fat Farm 20″ or something equally horrifying.
And at this point, I’m going to do a Pontius Pilate and wash my hands of this…

tmi3rd on March 13, 2008 at 1:49 PM
Anybody else think it just gets too good that the cops name is Mr. Whipple? I wonder if he told her “don’t squeeze the Charmin.”
kcd on March 13, 2008 at 1:51 PM
What I consider as a miracle is that the toilet itself didn’t get clogged up. Imagine it did. How’d one unclog it with the woman plastered, heavily so, to the toilet seat? Second question, who did the flushing?
Kokonut on March 13, 2008 at 1:52 PM
Third question, did the emergency personnel had to wear gas masks just to reach under and have access to the toilet lid and remove it from the toilet itself?
Ugh…
Kokonut on March 13, 2008 at 1:54 PM
I am going to say Hillary as I am sure Universal Health Care would use our tax dollars to help her to pay for a toilet that she could get up from.
BohicaTwentyTwo on March 13, 2008 at 2:00 PM
Shuffle your feet….lose your seat!
soulsirkus on March 13, 2008 at 2:23 PM
Yikes. When I told my husband this story yesterday, he told me if I sat on the toilet for a day he’d call the authorities. Sweet huh?!
Seriously, what the heck is up with their relationship?
4shoes on March 13, 2008 at 2:33 PM
I only have one question….what is her/his source of income? Did he go to work each day and support her, or are they on public assistance of some sort?
She’s now confined to a wheelchair — does that mean she’s disabled and qualifys for disability? And the police are talking about charging him so that they can put him in jail at public expense.
Sorry, out of time — I have to get back to work so that I can continue to pay 40% to the federal government. Someone has to take care of these people.
Wise Golden on March 13, 2008 at 2:38 PM
Sigh, my new home state has made the news.
Kalapana on March 13, 2008 at 2:40 PM
I will not use the “wide stance” opening…
seriously, I just don’t have words for this
Coastian on March 13, 2008 at 2:46 PM
Funniest line of the thread!
But seriously, somebody needs to flush out the truth.
bloggless on March 13, 2008 at 2:48 PM
People can be awfully strange.
My aunt and uncle once bought a “fixer-upper” where the previous family continued to use the toilet after it broke They didn’t stop using it, or the area around it, until the floor rotted out. Then they switched to a hall closet. When that was full and the floor rotted, they moved to a corner between the wall and the fireplace. Don’t remember how many kids they had but one was baby. It did it’s thing wherever it was in the house. The mother would put newspaper over it. There was old, yellowed, and stained newspaper stuck to the floor all over the house.
Saw it all with my own eyes; smelled it with my own nose. And got sick more than once cleaning and rebuilding the place.
So I suppose this gal was at least lucky the toilet flushed. If not … well … I suppose her head would have been sticking out the top of the trailer.
Rod on March 13, 2008 at 2:49 PM
And another thing, where did the boyfriend go potty?
bloggless on March 13, 2008 at 2:50 PM
“When John Kerry is elected president, people like Christopher Reeve and Pam Babcock are going to rise up and walk” I think I remember John Edwards saying something to that effect.
Sorry, I just slipped back an election cycle. Let me get up to date. It is all George Bush’s fault!! Bush lied and the seat was pried!
USBB on March 13, 2008 at 3:31 PM
I wonder if she ever told her boyfriend that the meals he prepared for her tasted like CRAP.
Helloyawl on March 13, 2008 at 3:43 PM
There. Fixed it.
They had to have had a second bathroom. My question is, didn’t her friends and family miss having her around? Didn’t they ask what was up? Leaving her in there a week would be appalling. TWO YEARS?! It’s unbelievable. Unless there are some missing facts here, How does he not get arrested and charged for some sort of abuse or negligence?
Ordinary1 on March 13, 2008 at 3:44 PM
Stephen King could have written this. Sounds like Misery part2. Kathy Bates play the woman in the toilet this time?
StuLongIsland on March 13, 2008 at 3:52 PM
What kind of social life did these people have, or not have, that no one, outside of the ‘boyfriend’, noticed her absence?
SECOND LOOK AT COMMUNE LIVING
Entelechy on March 13, 2008 at 3:52 PM
It wasn’t really a poop joke…it was a toilet/anal sex crossover joke. Poop was only the crossover mechanism…the mortar between the bricks, as it were.
James on March 13, 2008 at 3:52 PM
dude, what??! there has gotta be an underlying story; usually people follow circular pathes in their lives. Perhaps he was abusive? Pretty intense, and shame on him for not doing something after 2 freakin years!!!!!
drift on March 13, 2008 at 3:57 PM
Two years? This incident reminds me of a question on Hollywood Squares:
Q. Which of your five senses tends to diminish as you get older?
A. Charley Weaver: My sense of decency.
txstar on March 13, 2008 at 4:39 PM
Kowboy on March 13, 2008 at 5:35 PM
Now to the hard to ask question:
So how did her boyfriend go #2? Assuming that trailer only had one bathroom.
Bladerunner1701 on March 13, 2008 at 5:50 PM
Anyone see this from a couple weeks ago…
A 480-pound Martin County woman has died after emergency workers tried to remove her from the couch where she had remained for about six years.
Gayle Laverne Grinds, 40, died Wednesday, after a failed six-hour effort to dislodge her from the couch in her home. Workers say the home was filthy, and Grinds was too large to get up from the couch to even use the bathroom
atlas shrugged on March 13, 2008 at 6:11 PM
Enough of these stories. I need a potty break.
evenkeel on March 13, 2008 at 6:42 PM
Thats the one I was talking about on my previuos post. From eyewitness reports, it was pretty nasty.
