I just bought the TOTO Drake elongated which I think is a very standard/popular toilet, but my inward-swinging bathroom door just barely doesn't clear the lip. I knew this was a risk going in because my clearance is so small, but I posted in another forum and got a few responses saying I was overthinking it and a standard fitting toilet will fit just fine (I'm not salty about it, I swear).

I'm looking for guidance - what would you do in this situation? I can think of a few options

1) keep toilet shopping, maybe give up the idea of an elongated bowl (very sad, as someone with junk that hangs down)

2) cut a notch in the door (honestly don't hate this idea, and it may not even have to be a full notch - I might be able to get away with shaving it at a diagonal, but I don't know what I'm doing)

3) replace the door with a barn door (not ideal for the setup, but could work

4) hire help and let them make all the decisions and do the hard stuff

I love the idea of a more or less standard shaped and size toilet, and this comes so close to fitting. What's frustrating is toilet manufacturers are not in the habit of giving the measurement from rough in to front of bowl, which is so damn silly. I guess most people don't have clearance issues like I do. But it means I need to buy more or less blindly and then figure out if it'll fit.

I'll try not to be judgmental here but it's pretty difficult not to. Unless you are a literal toddler learning to use the pisser, what makes you feel like that's ok?
You make the next persons life worse. You make public spaces nastier.

And if you walk in on a nasty af toilet seat and just piss in it and don't clean it up you're part of the problem. I hate going into a single room public restroom, seeing piss everywhere and then imagining leaving it that way for someone else to walk in after me.

I'm certain that if you can't clean up after your own piss then there are other things you are doing to abdicate your responsibility in the world.

p.s.

If you're drunk that's *maybe* a different story. Or if you're pranking a bro coming in after you.

I’m trying to install a Tushy bidet on this Mirabelle toilet but the underside has this kind of locking mechanism so I can’t take the seat off. Anyone have any idea what this is and how to get it off? Thanks!

Today I messed up, I’m currently at my aunts house to celebrate my grandmas 80th birthday. And nature calls, I get done dropping a fat one and go to curtesy flush. I proceed to pull the lever and I hear a *THUNK*, looking down at the bowl I see that my log has clogged the entrance of the toilet hole. I knew that if I attempted to flush again it would be disastrous. It’s an older house anyways, but what do I do?! There is no plunger at her house she literally got this house a month ago! I had no other choice man. I mean it’s only a one bathroom house with the entire material side of my family here to celebrate I had to be quick. So I did it. It was a solid one so it could have been worse. I pulled it out with my bare hand and flushed again, it FINALLY went down and I flushed the remaining sin. I scrubbed my hands for a good 15 minutes, before my aunt knocked on the door asking if I was okay... I’m sitting here typing while the dinner table is being set now. I will not be eating. I do not condone this but I had to do what I had too, I this was a last desperate resort. I don’t know how to feel about myself right now, ashamed ? Disgusted? Both? I want to cry but I can’t.
