Friend should have told me her toilet seat was broken?

[AnimalLover24]

A bit of an unusual one - I visited my friends house yesterday for a coffee and a catch up which we arranged a week or so ago. After an half an hour or so I said I would pop to use the loo and she casually told me ‘oh - the toilet seat broke the other day so there isn’t one on there’.

As a slightly larger lady, ‘hovering’ as she suggested isn’t exactly straight forward.

Do you think she should have told me about this ahead of time?

Ah, the "basin loo" - why have two items of sanitaryware when you can have just one?

Love me a good typo 😁

Unless I was financially on the bones of my arse, I'd immediately replace a broken toilet seat

Not all toilet bowls fit a bog standard seat you can get at a supermarket/argos/amazon. Some have a specific shape/fittings and can only be ordered from the manufacturer- which is rarely next day delivery!

then squirt your business anyway you can down that toilet
suggestion: troll post

Oh no, not male urine! You realise it's practically sterile, and wipes right off porcelain?

Squat toilet being the other type of loo….

Smart arse seems appropriate here

I think you’re letting your irritation with people disagreeing with you get in the way. Surely if you needed to use a toilet while you were at home, you would have. You didn’t think- oh, I need a pee. I’ll wait till after I’ve had a coffee at friend’s house and pee there. So you wouldn’t have made other arrangements had you been notified in advance of the broken seat. Other than being uncomfortable for a few minutes, there’s no difference between sitting on a toilet seat or the rim. You’re making a fuss about what is actually a bit of an annoying problem for your friend

Sorry, what?! You are a size 16 (the UK average if I recall correctly) with no disabilities and you are incapable of hovering over a toilet?! I'm sorry but I actually don't believe you can't hover over a toilet! Have you ever even tried?! Or are you just being a precious princess who must sit on a pristine seat at all times! Good god! What do you do in public loos/on trains etc?!

Yes. She should have sent you a telegram two weeks in advance of your visit. 😂
Ah the Holidays.

Maybe they're not cool girls, they're just not so frail that they can't support their own bodyweight with their thighs for a few seconds.

Have you logged it with 101?

😂

YABU.

No chance of her passing a log on a seatless loo!
Sorry, a bit childish of me 😳

OP I still don't understand what you think is so different between sitting on a porcelain bowl vs a plastic or wooden seat??
No need whatsoever to hover 🤷‍♀️

Nah, just hook up a trailer with a portaloo on it to the car.

I have also just gone from a 20 to a 16.
I absolutely can hover. And I could at size 20.
I would have just sat on the rim though. Because I am normal.

It's just a bit colder! But logically it's less germy. We should probably all do that.

Glad I came across this thread. Has reminded me I must replace the seat to our throne. A nice velvet should do it.

🤣

It's not something I would have thought of telling people in advance. She probably had no idea it would be such a big issue for you. When my toilet seat broke, I couldn't manage to fix the new one myself so had to wait for someone else to do it.

I’m noticing that most of the time on MN the first post nails it! We still post though 😂

You realise that you have probably sat on lavatory seats that have been ‘dripped on’?

You just sit on the rim

But anyone who can't hold a squat need to invest in their leg muscles.

Why - would you have taken one with you if you'd known @AnimalLover24?

I always take a spare seat with me just in case. I'm suprised you didn't.
