It has to be the most bizarre epiphany ever.
A guy had a revelation about his bathroom habits when he entered a shop to purchase a new toilet.
While conversing with a shop assistant, he heard a joke about buying a model that automatically lowers the seat after use to prevent his wife’s complaints.
The man chuckled and responded, “Without a wife, I could save some cash and get one without a seat, meaning I’d never have to endure women nagging about putting it down again.”
The assistant then gave him an odd look, asking, “But what happens when you need to poo?”
In that moment, everything became clear.
He realized that he had been perching on the rim of the toilet bowl all along. Feeling embarrassed, he left the store empty-handed and blushing.
He later shared this awkward incident online, reflecting, “Looking back, it all makes sense now. Especially considering that men’s restrooms have seats. I just assumed it was a unisex, cost-saving, or oversight situation.”
