Toilets are relatively affordable (about $100 for a cheap but perfectly functional one) and actually quite easy to install. Unless there’s deliberate damage that’s not visible in the photo, this should take a trip to the hardware store and less than an hour of work to fix.
(A really malicious ex would have taken one of the kitchen cabinet doors. A matching replacement would probably have to be custom-made.)
thats a good idea, thank you.
Toilets are heavy, I’d be more concerned about physical danger from anyone willing to carry a toilet out of a house.
Toilets are heavy
…since when? It’s only ceramic, not cast iron.
And yes, the integrated jobbies aren’t light, but they are just unwieldy due to their size. The rest of them (at least 90+% of all residential toilets) you can just disconnect the tank from the seat and take each part out separately.
They are still an absolute pain to do on your own, especially if you are a small woman
Tip for next time - when having to lift a toilet, and you have at least a fingertip gap between the tank and the wall, you can do a vertical lift in the following manner:
- Take the tank lid off, disconnect the water feed.
- Drain the water from both the tank and the bowl. Bowl can be done by taking a large sponge or plunger and just ramming those down to push the water through the S-bend.
- Stick one hand down into the bowl’s drain hole, curl fingers up into that S-bend to hold it like a pail handle. Use a small face towel (don’t know the English term) if you need padding.
- Hold the back side of the tank with your other hand to stabilize the entire toilet.
- Lift with the hand that is in the drain hole.
The weight of the tank should balance out the weight of the front part of the bowl, giving you a reasonably balanced object, albeit not a light one. By lifting from the drain hole, you are putting the lifting motion close to the centre of gravity, making it a lot less awkward. If that is still too much weight, unhook the tank from the bowl and move separately, just be aware this will make the bowl quite front-heavy, you will need to switch hands and stabilize from the front of the bowl.
But still lift from the drain hole, it will still be easier than most any other method.
Source: not a plumber, but have done my fair share of toilet swaps in my time. Blue-collar jack-of-all-trades father who worked as head of maintenance at a large hotel showed me that trick.
I’d rather ruin my back then stick my hand in a poop hole.
Who breaks up with someone and then falls asleep while they’re still in the house?
No one. This is just a picture between swapping toilets and someone put dishonest text to it.
Depends on the relationship.
If you live with someone and you break up with them, you don’t expect them to move out that same afternoon? Unless you’re offering to put them up in a hotel or something.
The best part about this meme is that it totally happened!
I will genuinely never understand these comments, who cares? Is it supposed to be funny that you don’t believe it happened and care so much?
Especially with something like this that doesn’t sound like something that’d never happen, way crazier things happen regularly. I just can’t wrap my head around it why these kinds of comments are on nearly every meme.
These kinds of comments will always be found on bullshit memes because there always going to be a portion of the population that’s smart enough to know when something is bullshit. It’s just how it works.
It’s like this:
Kids are cute when they’re not trying to be cute. However, they’re fucking obnoxious when they’re trying to be cute.
Genuine things usually net the appropriate response from people who appreciate genuine things. When something is disingenuous, it should be called out.
These comments are not left by smart people.
The smart people know its a fucking meme, so its veracity is about as important as its eligibility for a home loan.
Right… because the comment section on shit meme posts like this are clearly NOT full of people that took it seriously.
(obligatory /s)
Engaging with the premise doesnt mean you genuinely believe the premise. Its fun to play along. Youve known this since childhood, it didnt change when you got older.
lol…. Okay. There no convincing you. Let’s just pretend everyone knows this is fake and are all in on the joke despite all the people arguing that it totally happened every time these types of posts get called out.
We can stop now.
My guy, you dont look cool pretending its hard to be in on the joke of a joke post on the internet.
