Default Be careful when using a toilet as "ladder"


The toilet is a Roca Victoria-05.

I was trying to repair the bulb socket at the ceiling of the toilet. I
stepped down from height, putting my right foot on the edge of the Roca
toilet seat (covered), and it cracked into 4 pcs, with sharp edges.

It's lucky that I DID NOT put my foot on the center of the toilet cover,
or my lower leg's flesh would be shaved!

Admit it. You used your foot to unclog the toilet.

The light bulb on the ceiling of the toile was blown. I was trying to
replace it!

BTW, why didn't there a warning sign on the toilet cover telling users
NOT TO STEP ON IT if it's so fragile?

Hmmm,
So you are advertising your foolishness?
Safety comes from common sense.

If I didn't exercise caution, I should be in the hospital now. I would
not have stepped on the edge of the toilet.

How thick? Thin wood cover also breaks when you exert 200+ pound on its
center.

Then there is no such thing as safety. Because "common sense"
is an oxymoron, such as "military intelligence" or "good job".

Because you bought a cheap piece of **** plastic toilet seat. The
GOOD ones are made out of wood.


OK. How thick is a good wooden seat?
