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.

lol yeah if a breakup is such a common event in your life you’re just like “we’re done and imma go get some sleep now” that could be a sign you should work on your relationship skills
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.
I don’t date crazies, I’d do it.
If anyone has a relationship with someone they can’t sleep around after breaking up…run.
Uhh they’re already running

People who don’t give a shit
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.
he doesn’t have a cast iron toilet
Missing out
They didn’t have to season their seat though.
Ever got one in an oven?
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.
Since always? Ceramic isn’t light
I had to help parents replace a hinge on some that were made 15 years ago.
Company out of business, all stickers faded, different sizes in different places.
Happy to say after 3 trips to hammer barn, 3 days of trying different things and pulling my back twice (fucking low corners) we finally…
Gave up.
I bought a house built in 1979 and never renovated – drop ceilings in every room, wallpaper, and carpet that used to be pink. I replaced everything - ceilings, walls, and floors. I even had to replace structural elements because the termite damage turned out to have been “repaired”.
I dared not touch a single thing in the kitchen.
Going a bit off topic, I know they are out of date but I always wanted one of those “conversation nooks” you see in 60s and 70s movies - any chance you got one?
I also cleaned my mates carpet as a house warming present when they moved in. Turns out the grey carpet was actually a nice blue.
Don’t you mean the Grooving Area?
Probably??
I think it is called the Orgy pit.
When was the last time you priced toilets? I was just looking at them at Lowe’s and they’re all $500ish. Maybe they have some cheap ones in the back?
2019, but I just checked and on their web page the store brand is $90.
Maybe he paid for it.
I remember something about a guy who had paid to put hardwood floors in his girl’s place and then after the breakup he tore them up and took the wood with him.
That’s quite petty.
Deliciously so.
I guess it depends on how close the breakup was to the installation.
If she just broke up with him the days after he paid to have it installed, then I’m taking that wood back with me.
That’s a good point and I agree. I was thinking it would also depend on the conditions of the breakup. If it was due to infidelity, then yeah, I want my floor back.
I bought a house that was a foreclosure. I think they took what they felt they owned. That included a sink, all the smoke detectors, all the door knobs, all the appliances. It was strange.
In 2009 I was trying to find my mom somewhere to live. There were a lot of houses for pretty cheap since the 2008 crash had just happened. That was good, since my mom doesn’t have any money. Since she doesn’t have any money I went looking at a lot of foreclosures. Most of them were missing all of the appliances, all of the light bulbs, pretty much everything not bolted down (plus a few things that were), and a lot of them had holes kicked in the walls, counters destroyed, and whatever else the former owners could do to vent their anger at the banks. We ended up renting her an apartment since neither of us had the money to repair all the damage and missing features from the foreclosure houses.
Unless there’s like structural or water damage you can fix it over time.
Fixing takes money that neither of us had
If you had money to buy a house ($$$) you have money to DIY (¢). What you listed is small fry.
Borrowing money from a bank is not the same as having cash to buy all new appliances, fix pissed on carpet, and repair walls and counters that somebody took a sledgehammer to. Do you think that all houses are purchased with cash?
…you have money to pay that mortgage, right? If yes, then these things are minor in comparison. But you’re saying the minor things busted the whole purchase, instead of the major thing of a mortgage on a house.
Buy used appliances, yes they are around. DIY carpet (which you didn’t say before, so I think you’re doing the slow trickle of just adding more and more now), DIY holes in walls (see it was holes in walls before, now it’s walls). Put a piece of plywood on the counter until you can do something better. You can do this over time too. This stuff is cheap, cheap, cheap compared to a mortgage. Chow.
It’s probably safe to assume that a foreclosure sale involved at least some level of malicious compliance, especially one due to the 2008 housing crisis.

I remember this one, he was a plumber who had installed the toilet and decided to take it out of spite. Super mature.
Reddit is a microblog now
Nah, it’s just where people invent intriguing fictional back-stories for mundane pictures they find. Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife. And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?”Many good days go by…
Look where my hand was.
At the very least, I can’t find this image without text referencing the toilet being stolen anywhere, so whoever originally posted it seems to have claimed that.
Lemmy has a microblog community.
Pretty funny reads, don’t really care if real.
Define a microblog please. Because anywhere you can post text can be a microblog lol. Not just the ones I’m the sidebar.
Well at least he took his shit with him
Or
That’s a shitty thing to do
If you can peacefully fall asleep after a breakup, you kinda deserve it
If someone did that to my bidet I would be forced to terminate any international treaty I had with them.
They didn’t so much as leave a remittance coupon…
The audacity.
Lol are my sovcits spreading to the rest of Lemmy? I am delighted.
“Bidet as it may!”
He needs it more than you because he’s obviously full of shit.
Who knows the circumstances.
That horrendous tile work.
Cant have shit
That’s the pettiest shit I’ve ever seen
It won’t be the prettiest shit you see if they can’t get a new toilet
Wow, this is an old one…
Here’s the second part.

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.

Smart enough to know when something is bullshit, but not smart enough to understand that nearly all of them are bullshit?
It is like those wrestler critics saying it is all fake as if anybody cares enough when the main point is that it is entertaining.
It’s not like I need every meme I see to be based on reality, but there’s been this trend of faking stuff and passing it as real and that’s where it goes too far for me. I’m not sure this one qualifies though, I can read this as purely being humorous and not really trying to sell itself as real.
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.

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.

My guy, you dont look cool pretending its hard to be in on the joke of a joke post on the internet.
He didn’t have enough time before she woke up to replace her toilet with a toilet that has a tiny hole that’s just for farts.
He shouldn’t have spent so much time in Turbo Time.
It’s confirmation that you shouldn’t be with him.
