Anybody care to theorize the “reasons”?

Toilet is in a weird corner and there is either a cabinet or bit of wall sticking out in front of it. OP has long legs. He's tired of sitting off center in the seat just for his knees to have clearance.

My friend I lived with had a similar thing, but with a tub placed about a foot in front of the toilet. I messed up my leg and had a full isolation brace while staying there. I never knew taking a shit could be so difficult. I had to sit at a 45 degree angle, which took about a minute to achieve.

I currently have a brace like that and even under the best of circumstances going to the toilet is annoying as hell. Couldnt imagine doing it under those circumstances.

I hope you get it off soon and recovery is in your future. Best of luck!

I just don't have the mental capacity or endurance for that right now.

The reason is very sane and normal, but in my experience, redditors tend to go on side tangents that have nothing to do with my question. Ever since yahoo answers shut down, I have been on reddit, treating it in the same way. Quite frankly, I don't know how so many people have so much time to have reddit discussions just for the sake of discussion.

Escapism comes in many forms

Safety? By rotating the toilet a bit, OP can now see out the door? I've seen a lot of movies where the guy gets shot while sitting on the toilet.

Space to store the torsos. The master closet is getting full.

Space for a wheelchair access?

Otherwise just leave it because it’s personal and not a thing we need to know.

I just chalk up the inexplicable to sexual preference to clear the cognitive dissonance and move on

I would assume an unusually shaped room or they want to put a wall in that would be too close to the rough in to comfortably sit on it.

What do wall studs have to do with toilet positioning

v0x_nihili t1_j9f45at wrote

oops. reread the post and I have confused the issue of the tankless positioning with the regular tank toilet positioning.

Even still.. wall studs don’t impact toilet location.

He isn’t talking about the toilet flange. Look at his reply.

He is talking about the flange — tankless toilets generally have a different mounting scheme, don’t they?

loganab13 t1_j9f98r5 wrote

No. The only tankless toilets that vary from typical flanges are wall hung (carrier) toilets which aren’t all that common in residential settings. OP needs to ensure he has the water pressure for the tankless unit to operate in the first place.
