@jackdaw_ruiz I am fascinated at this concept

But really any upholstery in the vicinity of toilets is superhell

@jackdaw_ruiz what does a "formal" toilet seat look like? we only have the one

@orchid

your alternate toilet seat with the rubies and family crest embossed on the lid? for when there are visitors? I dunno maybe it's a regional thing and called something different in other parts of the counter.

My family removed the formal toilet seats when guests came over, so the guests didn't mess them up. We only used the gold plated, emerald encrusted, silk lined, water-cooled, musical toilet seats for our own rich asses.
