I personally leave mine clipped in place and tuck it into my pants so it doesn't scrape that nasty area around the toilet, but I could see someone wanting to remove it for similar reasons and being distracted or absent-minded and leaving it behind.
It just seems a bit harsh. I'm sure nobody has ever had a moment of lapsed reason but I have so that probably sets me apart as sympathetic to this guy :).
