Priced a toilet seat lately?
Yeah, me either.
But earlier this week I realized the crappy HOMOROW toilet (or whatever name it’s called) is designed by somebody that likes engineering better than practicality and this toilet that I bought has the weirdest way to connect a seat. The seat clips onto a cheap plastic thing that’s supposed to hold the entire thing together.
SPOILER: It doesn’t work.
I did manage to get a good five years out of this toilet seat and that’s not bad but the trouble started when I decided to try and find a replacement.
“Oh. That model was discontinued’, the manufacturer replied.
ARE YOU TELLING ME I HAVE TO BUY a brand new toilet BECAUSE YOU STOPPED MAKING THEM?
YES.
I did what anyone else would do - see if I can find a replacement on Amazon because if they don’t have it - I am really screwed.
Thankfully they had it in stock and although it cost over $40 I can now say I have a working toilet seat where you’re not afraid of falling off the toilet.
ps. if you liked this story - I am attempting to turn my writing into $100 a day of income. Wish me luck and when you shop Amazon I make a small bit from your purchase - toilet seat or otherwise.
pps. buy the brand name toilet - trust me on this one.
