A few months ago, I bought an American Standard brand toilet seat that soft closes. It was nice. But apparently after about 6 mo of normal use, the plastic piece for the lid broke; a week later, the seat ripped apart from the hinge. That’s the American Standard for you I guess. /s

So today, I go get a different toilet seat, and as I’m trying to adjust it to fit on the toilet, I notice that they gave me two left brackets.

So now I have to go back to the store and hope they will open boxes until we find me the correct right bracket. And before anyone suggests flipping the left bracket over: you can’t. Each bracket has grooves cut into one side that fit in the specific side of the mounting bracket that attaches to the toilet.

I hope y’all’s day is going better than my week! 🤣

    I got some Kohler quiet / slow close toilet seats and they’re pretty nice. Not to be one of those hail corporate types but it has no fucked up weird ass bracket like yours do there, just a couple plastic bolts that hold it on there. The lid is fairly heavy feeing and you can’t slam it. Pretty nice for a shitter lid if you ask me. I also threw a cheap bidet on there and it’s a proper toilet now for like $40 worth of upgrades.
