Who breaks up with someone and then falls asleep while they're still in the house?

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 55 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No one. This is just a picture between swapping toilets and someone put dishonest text to it.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yup. Add this to the never ending “never happened” pile.

lol yeah if a breakup is such a common event in your life you’re just like “we’re done and imma go get some sleep now” that could be a sign you should work on your relationship skills

[–] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

Depends on the relationship.

If you live with someone and you break up with them, you don't expect them to move out that same afternoon? Unless you're offering to put them up in a hotel or something.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

I don't date crazies, I'd do it.

[–] defluo@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If anyone has a relationship with someone they can't sleep around after breaking up.....run.

[–] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Uhh they're already running

Toilets are relatively affordable (about $100 for a cheap but perfectly functional one) and actually quite easy to install. Unless there's deliberate damage that's not visible in the photo, this should take a trip to the hardware store and less than an hour of work to fix.

(A really malicious ex would have taken one of the kitchen cabinet doors. A matching replacement would probably have to be custom-made.)

[–] tubaruco@lemm.ee 35 points 9 months ago

thats a good idea, thank you.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Toilets are heavy, I'd be more concerned about physical danger from anyone willing to carry a toilet out of a house.

[–] rekabis@lemmy.ca 12 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Toilets are heavy

…since when? It’s only ceramic, not cast iron.

And yes, the integrated jobbies aren’t light, but they are just unwieldy due to their size. The rest of them (at least 90+% of all residential toilets) you can just disconnect the tank from the seat and take each part out separately.

[–] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

he doesn't have a cast iron toilet

Missing out

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

They didn't have to season their seat though.

Ever got one in an oven?

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

They are still an absolute pain to do on your own, especially if you are a small woman

I had to help parents replace a hinge on some that were made 15 years ago.

Company out of business, all stickers faded, different sizes in different places.

Happy to say after 3 trips to hammer barn, 3 days of trying different things and pulling my back twice (fucking low corners) we finally....

Gave up.

When was the last time you priced toilets? I was just looking at them at Lowe's and they're all $500ish. Maybe they have some cheap ones in the back?

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago

2019, but I just checked and on their web page the store brand is $90.

I remember something about a guy who had paid to put hardwood floors in his girl's place and then after the breakup he tore them up and took the wood with him.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago (3 children)
[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Deliciously so.

I bought a house that was a foreclosure. I think they took what they felt they owned. That included a sink, all the smoke detectors, all the door knobs, all the appliances. It was strange.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (9 children)

In 2009 I was trying to find my mom somewhere to live. There were a lot of houses for pretty cheap since the 2008 crash had just happened. That was good, since my mom doesn't have any money. Since she doesn't have any money I went looking at a lot of foreclosures. Most of them were missing all of the appliances, all of the light bulbs, pretty much everything not bolted down (plus a few things that were), and a lot of them had holes kicked in the walls, counters destroyed, and whatever else the former owners could do to vent their anger at the banks. We ended up renting her an apartment since neither of us had the money to repair all the damage and missing features from the foreclosure houses.

It's probably safe to assume that a foreclosure sale involved at least some level of malicious compliance, especially one due to the 2008 housing crisis.

Nah, it's just where people invent intriguing fictional back-stories for mundane pictures they find. Same as it ever was.

Well at least he took his shit with him

Or

That’s a shitty thing to do

If you can peacefully fall asleep after a breakup, you kinda deserve it

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago (2 children)

If someone did that to my bidet I would be forced to terminate any international treaty I had with them.

[–] thechadwick@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They didn't so much as leave a remittance coupon..

The audacity.

He didn't have enough time before she woke up to replace her toilet with a toilet that has a tiny hole that's just for farts.

[–] Melkath@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago

He shouldn't have spent so much time in Turbo Time.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

It's confirmation that you shouldn't be with him.

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

She should've fell asleep on the toilet.
