This news story is just so weird you have to see it to believe it. Apparently an American woman has been rescued by authorities after sitting on her boyfriend’s toilet for two years. That’s right, two years.

This woman reportedly sat on the loo for so long that her skin actually started to grow around the seat, and it took considerable effort to prize her free. I know, gross.

Why was she there? Apparently she had developed a phobia of seeing her friends, her family, and anyone else, so staying on the can seemed the best option. Clearly she’s got issues but it doesn’t end there.

Her boyfriend didn’t seek help for his girlfriend until she’d been there for two years. During this time he insists they had a normal relationship. I don’t even want to think about how that works, but I think it’s safe to say the toilet lady isn’t the only one with problems.
