I have a problem with a toilet, it keeps cracking where it's bolted down.

I blame my mother-in-law for breaking it. Everytime she comes over and uses
the bathroom, I end up with a busted toilet. Now she is one heavy duty
woman. I think what happens is she plops down on the toilet, instead of
sitting down, and when she goes to get up, she rocks the toilet.

Weight Watchers is out of the question, this woman likes to chow down.

Maybe I'm not installing the new toilets right? However, they're fine until
she uses it.

AKA 'jail toilet'.
They had one of those at work for a few years, specially installed for a
500-lb cart rider that used to work there. Scary-looking. After he got
the self-induced medical retirement he was trying for, they took it back
out. Not sure if they are saving it out back somewhere for the next
gravity-challenged employee, or if they ****canned it.


We had a 550# prisoner. He sat on a the tail gate of a government
truck, then transported to an Air Force Base Hospital. They put him in
a sling and then figured out his weight. When released, he was 350#

Remarkable, he never broke a single toilet, steel or otherwise.
