foodchain Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Now before I get reported for this just hear me out. If you are left or right handed you probably without thought use that hand for a majority of your daily activities, this would include the various bathrooms functions such as this. I would suggest that such on the toilet would cause a shift in weight which would imply more use or wear on a certain part of the toilet then the toilet in total. This and the fact we already design a great deal of modern technology to suit being left or right handed, so why not a toilet?

swansont Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 How does being left-handed shift your weight on the toilet? Do you ever preferentially lean to one side?
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 No, not that I've noticed, though that's not exactly something I pay much attention to. And I doubt increased weight on one side will significantly wear it.
foodchain Posted March 15, 2007 Author Posted March 15, 2007 No, not that I've noticed, though that's not exactly something I pay much attention to. And I doubt increased weight on one side will significantly wear it. At barely over 180 in pounds the left side of my toilet seat is now busted from leaning, so I have to go and buy a new one. I do think such thought played a role in placement of most flusher handles though on American toilets.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Well I suppose I'll defer to those who lean more than I do
Sisyphus Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Man. If you can't trust your own toilet seat, what can you trust? Get something sturdy, your life will feel more in balance.

I know, who wants to get anxieties from the toilet of all things. Upon further examination it appears to have been a plastic screw and fastener of some type that has giving way, so it must be quality down at the plant trying to save percents of a penny, now I have to spend more then they saved along with time to fix it. On the other side of the toilet the plastic is fine.

Heh, we had exactly the same problem in our last house, I put it to reaching for the toilet paper. It got to the point where the seat would slide left and right because it wasn't fixed in, which was a cause of many disaster after a pub and curry night. Don't ask me why we didn't sort it out. You should be able to get the fixings, I think there's universal sizes when it comes to toilets.
Phi for All Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 Crap! This sh*tty thread is showing up on My Yahoo home page. I'm so em-bare-assed my face is flush! I refuse to be potty to this! Sorry, didn't mean to wipe out everyone's enthusiasm.
