A few months ago, I bought an American Standard brand toilet seat that soft closes. It was nice. But apparently after about 6 mo of normal use, the plastic piece for the lid broke; a week later, the seat ripped apart from the hinge. That’s the American Standard for you I guess. /s

So today, I go get a different toilet seat, and as I’m trying to adjust it to fit on the toilet, I notice that they gave me two left brackets.

So now I have to go back to the store and hope they will open boxes until we find me the correct right bracket. And before anyone suggests flipping the left bracket over: you can’t. Each bracket has grooves cut into one side that fit in the specific side of the mounting bracket that attaches to the toilet.

I hope y’all’s day is going better than my week! 🤣

    Well, that’s what you deserve for overcomplicating simple things such as a toilet seat :)

        Hey, maybe they enjoy the bone-jarring slam that happens in the middle of the night when the seat slips out of their hand and slams down like the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.

        Who are we to judge? 🤣

        Yes, my toilet doesn’t even have an internet connection, it doesn’t change colour depending on the weather, and it doesn’t say “Thank you!”. Can you imagine such barbarity?!
