(Not the toilet in question.)
I decided to put the new toilet seat we bought yesterday on the toilet in the half bath this morning. It's an older toilet, and by "older" I mean it's so old it came over on the Mayflower. The vanity next to the toilet is a boxy older style of vanity and when I say it's next to the toilet, I mean it's right next to the toilet, and it makes it hard to get in under and around the toilet to do the necessary repairs.
So half awake I lay down on the floor next to the toilet so I can see the nut I need to loosen up to get the toilet seat off. I spy what I believe is the nut and I began unscrewing it with my hand. Next thing I know water is pouring out of the toilet tank and on to me and the floor. Being the genius I am I unscrewed one of the nuts that attached the water tank to the toilet base. After a not so refreshing shower with toilet tank water I corrected my mistake and I managed to wrangle the old seat off that toilet.
I managed to turn a 5 minute job into 45 minutes of work and a whole lot of cussin'. Taking a dump in that little half bath from now on is going to be sooooooooooo satisfying.
