I will have to supplement this explanation with some photos because it would be nearly impossible for someone who isn't a plumber to understand. Plumbers out there- you can disregard the photos. lol.
Anyway... this is the top of my toilet. It is in front of the counter. This wasn't always the case. The idiots who installed the toilet seat installed the toilet first and then the counter lapped over the lid and could not be put down. I had no bathroom seat and I had lost 2 toothbrushes and a handful of elastics to the toilet dungeon. This was unacceptable. I took the lid off thinking that it would be an easy matter to take it off the toilet and put it back on so it would sit in front of the counter as seen in exhibit one above and the photo below. 
Well as you can see (sort of) in the third toilet photo there are pegs that you have to hook the toilet seat into. They are hidden obviously but they're there. it was easy enough yanking the lid off but putting it back on was a whole other matter because I couldn't get the pegs far apart enough to slide the seat back in. SO lol, I had to saw down one of the pegs so I could get the seat back on. Well sawing didn't work with a paring knife. I had to use a lighter to melt the plastic down. Now for those of you who have been to the odd party or two with me back in Waterloo you might be familiar with my pyro side- who knew it would actually come to practical use.
At any rate it worked and I was able to slide the lid back into the pegs and now I can save some toothbrushes and maybe skip a flush once in awhile! Just thought I might share. I thought it was pretty hilarious. It's totally an unrelated Korea thing. I would have done it back home but I would have had better tools at least lol.
Did my immigration office trip today. Get my my Alien registration card and my passport back with a multiple entrance VISA. Japan here I come!! Until next time...
