hello! yoshi > Phobia

WTF? I know you guys have heard about this: Boyfriend: Phobia caused woman’s 2-year bathroom stay @ CNN.com. I’m trying to make some sense out of all this and I’m just not able to do so. First of all, in order for her skin to grow around that toilet seat, she would have to be sitting there for a while. I mean seriously, that doesn’t happen overnight people.

Second of all, let’s just say what they haven’t said yet: The filthiness of the situation. If she had been sitting there for that long in order for her skin to develop around the toilet seat, how dirty was the toilet bowl? How dirty was she? She couldn’t have taken a bath in ages. I mean seriously!

I understand that people have phobias, certainly I have my own. But I somehow don’t think that even phobias are going to force you to sit on a toilet seat until your skin grows around it. This is so sad, since they’re saying she might have to be in a wheelchair.

I don’t see how the boyfriend could be found at fault except for stupidity and not calling someone earlier. Perhaps like 2 years ago? I’d probably have called someone after 2 weeks at the very most! Very strange, very strange!
