And You Know What I REALLY Hate?
Plastic toilet seat bolts. They never stay snug. Forget to keep them tightened and one absent-minded second later? You're on the floor or in the tub.

Nobody say nothing. I'm not even going to ask...

Just wait till you get old enough and have to add side-handles on the thing. Some of the aluminum ones are shakey.

Great. One gets to look forward to tottering INto the toilet, vice ONto it.

They become un-snug? Huh, What would cause that?
(sorry, Major Dad)

You know what I really hate? Those little stickers they put on vegetables like tomatoes. On every friggin' one. Why?

You could go for brass bolts, THS, or maybe stainless steel. Don't forget the lock washer.
Or maybe you can get a Japanese toilet, or even a Middle Eastern style toilet, no seat to worry about.
See, fewer moving parts, and lower water useage. Money saved! Wotta deal.
And these will keep you flexible well into your golden years as well! You can go nowhere but up with these styles of commodes.

Emily, those stickers are there to provide the minimum necessary carbohydrate intake found to be healthy for people by the Food and Drug Administration. Your tax dollars at work!
