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! 🤣

American “standard”, but can’t handle the weight of American asses.
That’s the America I know!
the standard was written in pounds, but the ass sitting was in stone
/anything but metric/
It literally crumbled under the weight! 🤣
Just like my fridges freezers lid. Plastic hinges should be a crime.
That bracket in the second picture looks like it’s made for a slide-in bidet seat.
Yes. Correct.
The extra space probably torqued the hinge.
How annoying! It’s amazing how often something like this happens to me. Glad you managed to solve it :)
We shall see. I have yet to go back to the store.
À propos*
I got some Kohler quiet / slow close toilet seats and they’re pretty nice. Not to be one of those hail corporate types but it has no fucked up weird ass bracket like yours do there, just a couple plastic bolts that hold it on there. The lid is fairly heavy feeing and you can’t slam it. Pretty nice for a shitter lid if you ask me. I also threw a cheap bidet on there and it’s a proper toilet now for like $40 worth of upgrades.
And that’s why a free trade deal between the EU and the Us would be absolutely horrible. Keep your useless garbage on the other side of the pond. We don’t want it!
Well, that’s what you deserve for overcomplicating simple things such as a toilet seat :)
Everyone! This guy lower his toilet seat all the way to the bowl by hand!
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? 🤣
Just sit down, you never have to put the seat up
You close the lid before you flush, right? …right?
And miss all the action?! /s
Nah, you know what they say
The spice must flow
Then the inside of the lid gets icky and I can’t lounge while scrolling without wiping my back too.
That ick ending up all over your counters and your toothbrush flushing with the lid open
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?!
Then how can you even tell if your toilet is online?!
should atleast get one with a bidet though, rest of the world living in the future bro…stop wiping your ass with hand like a barbarian
