There may be some hard feelings about the breakup

Who breaks up with someone and then falls asleep while they're still in the house?

No one. This is just a picture between swapping toilets and someone put dishonest text to it.
lol yeah if a breakup is such a common event in your life you’re just like “we’re done and imma go get some sleep now” that could be a sign you should work on your relationship skills
Depends on the relationship.

If you live with someone and you break up with them, you don't expect them to move out that same afternoon? Unless you're offering to put them up in a hotel or something.
If anyone has a relationship with someone they can't sleep around after breaking up.....run.
- Uhh they're already running
I don't date crazies, I'd do it.
People who don't give a shit

Toilets are relatively affordable (about $100 for a cheap but perfectly functional one) and actually quite easy to install. Unless there's deliberate damage that's not visible in the photo, this should take a trip to the hardware store and less than an hour of work to fix.

(A really malicious ex would have taken one of the kitchen cabinet doors. A matching replacement would probably have to be custom-made.)

thats a good idea, thank you.
Toilets are heavy, I'd be more concerned about physical danger from anyone willing to carry a toilet out of a house.
- Toilets are heavy
  
  …since when? It’s only ceramic, not cast iron.
  
  And yes, the integrated jobbies aren’t light, but they are just unwieldy due to their size. The rest of them (at least 90+% of all residential toilets) you can just disconnect the tank from the seat and take each part out separately.
I had to help parents replace a hinge on some that were made 15 years ago.

Company out of business, all stickers faded, different sizes in different places.

Happy to say after 3 trips to hammer barn, 3 days of trying different things and pulling my back twice (fucking low corners) we finally....

Gave up.
- I bought a house built in 1979 and never renovated -- drop ceilings in every room, wallpaper, and carpet that used to be pink. I replaced everything - ceilings, walls, and floors. I even had to replace structural elements because the termite damage turned out to have been "repaired".
  
  I dared not touch a single thing in the kitchen.
When was the last time you priced toilets? I was just looking at them at Lowe's and they're all $500ish. Maybe they have some cheap ones in the back?
- 2019, but I just checked and on their web page the store brand is $90.

Maybe he paid for it.

I remember something about a guy who had paid to put hardwood floors in his girl's place and then after the breakup he tore them up and took the wood with him.
- That's quite petty.
I bought a house that was a foreclosure. I think they took what they felt they owned. That included a sink, all the smoke detectors, all the door knobs, all the appliances. It was strange.
- In 2009 I was trying to find my mom somewhere to live. There were a lot of houses for pretty cheap since the 2008 crash had just happened. That was good, since my mom doesn't have any money. Since she doesn't have any money I went looking at a lot of foreclosures. Most of them were missing all of the appliances, all of the light bulbs, pretty much everything not bolted down (plus a few things that were), and a lot of them had holes kicked in the walls, counters destroyed, and whatever else the former owners could do to vent their anger at the banks. We ended up renting her an apartment since neither of us had the money to repair all the damage and missing features from the foreclosure houses.
- It's probably safe to assume that a foreclosure sale involved at least some level of malicious compliance, especially one due to the 2008 housing crisis.
I remember this one, he was a plumber who had installed the toilet and decided to take it out of spite. Super mature.

Reddit is a microblog now

Nah, it's just where people invent intriguing fictional back-stories for mundane pictures they find. Same as it ever was.
- Same as it ever was.
- At the very least, I can't find this image without text referencing the toilet being stolen anywhere, so whoever originally posted it seems to have claimed that.
Lemmy has a microblog community.

Pretty funny reads, don't really care if real.
Define a microblog please. Because anywhere you can post text can be a microblog lol. Not just the ones I'm the sidebar.
