I don't know what I would have done myself, hearing someone in the bathroom saying that. He could have asked someone for a screwdriver, and unscrewed the seat
Kind of off topic, but years ago in Seattle, there was a man who sat down on a toilet in Starbucks. He says that when he sat down, the toilet seat moved, and pinched him so bad, he could no longer perform in the bedroom. My guess is he couldn't before, and just wanted to get some money out of it. He lost the suit of course.
