Why I Hate Going to Home Depot

How can replacing a simple toilet seat require three separate trips to Home Depot?

toilet_seatEasy.

There are literally 48 different choices, varying by size (“round” or “elongated”); manufacturer (Kohler, American Standard); and even features (“quiet close,” “quick release,” etc..)

Sheesh!!

For all those options, ironically, the one choice you don’t get is color.

Just like Henry Ford famously told his customers they could have any Model T they wanted “as long as it came in black,” it appears that buyers have to content themselves with a white toilet seat.

Unless the colored ones are in the next row.
