The toilet that goes boom.

At work they have some unisex restrooms that are handicap friendly -which is more and more absurd every year... can someone explain to me why I don't have enough room to open the dang door to a normal stall without being forced to collide with the toilet, but they can park a Hummer in their stall? Anyhow, this restroom has the standard fare U shaped toilet seat with pee channel. Even though these seats are designed to allow a man to relieve himself without lifting the seat up, I find that there is a small amount of incidental damage. I lift the seat, do my business, and let the seat drop. I don't want to make contact with anything in a restroom more than I have to. SLAM. The sound hurts my ears and causes an interesting discord because I barely bumped the seat. I had already started the flush and as I look down in falls a piece of the seat. Instead of resembling the typical U it looks like a J. So even though the water is relatively clean, I look at this huge piece of toilet seat and laugh. The absurdity of it strikes me. I have once before had this happen to me in this same restroom. Then though there was an air bubble that caused the seat to be weaker than it was designed to be. I stifle my laugh and sneak out of the restroom. If it happens again, I will know that the toilet in that restroom is cursed.
