To the person who wrote the installation manual for my new toilet...

How hard would it be to include a little blurb that you have to remove the old toilet before installing the new one? Is that so hard to include in your stupid manual? USE SOME COMMON SENSE!

Oh, by the way, the plastic bag in which it’s wrapped? Not a toy. Make a note of that one too.

I ended up drilling an anchor for the ring in the seat of the old one, get up, turn around, and my kid wasn’t fetching tools anymore because he suffocated in the damned bag.

1) Go to your favorite plumbing supply house or big box home improvement store, and select a toilet.
2) Use the Google app on your phone to contact a plumber
3) Be home to let the plumber in
4) Write a check or pull out your plastic of choice to pay
5) Behold your newly installed throne

It only takes 20 minutes to change a toilet. All you need is an adjustable wrench, wax ring and caulk.

Admittedly, I'm having a very odd day, so sarcasm could have gone unseen if it was there.
