I wouldn't worry about it. I'm a huge guy and I've stood on the toilet lid before (I was changing a light). It should be plenty strong.
Got a tip for us?

The lid of the toilet

Sure, just rub it in. You could from the other end of the room, right? Knock down a tree with it, eh? We get it
This is some of the funniest things I've seen on this board other than the how I want to die thread.
Not exactly what I meant by "huge," but I'll take it.
Well, being as you bestowed it upon yourself... broooaaad hint
ROFL.
Thanks all, I needed that! Spent the morning in the emergency room w/ a family member--who is *fine* now--so this thread is just what I needed. Now I'm going to go sit on the toilet seat and clip my toenails ...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, go on and have your fun (at my expense)
I'm just trying to pass along (keeping in mind the original point of this thread) that the OP's toilet lid isn't going to break from sitting on it, since I'm a huge lard*ss and it doesn't break under my weight. Sheesh.
Now, if you'll excuse me I need to practice my typing from across the room

LOL! I hope you mean with a wireless keyboard... what if family wants to use your computer!

That's a separate issue - everyone here has his/her own computer
Personally, I've found nothing wrong with sitting on the toilet lid. In fact, I've become quite accustomed to it, to the point I always put the lid down after I'm done with my business. It just looks better, and should I want to sit, don't need to put the lid down first.
Thats what I do, I hate seeing the toilet open, and if I need to sit, it is readily available to sit.
That much is certain!
Oh, stick around and I'm sure that you will find others.
Snort.
Would like to see a video of the third one.
I will never look at this topic the same.
What's their specialty, poo on a bun?Customers at the toilet themed restaurant in Taipei, apparently unconcerned about the dangers of sitting on toilet seat lids...
Usually when standing on it, it would be weaker, but when sitting on it, it shouldn't break.
Simply put. If the lid is not going to hold you, I wouldn't rely on the seat either.
When you sit on the lid you weight is displaced across the lid the same as the seat. The thing is that the lip is resting on the seat distributing the weight to the seat, then to the base, your floor, etc. etc.
This is not to say that lids are any quality at all. They could be crap, but the likelihood of breaking a lid that is on top of the seat that your butt sits on.
Take off the seat and it may be a little easier to break.
Also not to be mean, but your friend watches you clip your toe nails? That's just weird.
