Clearly, you're meant to sit on it backwards and use the tank as a table for your laptop. The gap is to provide a bit more space for the laptop. Still small enough so it doesn't slide off the back.
Nope; because the handrails would be too far back or to the side to reach, defeating the purpose, and not ADA compliant. This was a bad plumbing rough-in that nobody bothered to fix.
Due to a renovated basement setup I was living in at one time as a renter, I found a sort of similar toilet placement. Landlord said he did it that way cause "I get a lot of heavy fellas who appreciate the space." Maybe this is just a future proofed bathroom, considering how overweight so many people are today?
@@LowRoller1 I mean, I wouldn't have either probably without that prior experience. At first I thought he just ultimately placed the toilet there cause that's where the pipe was. But no, apparently he laid out that basement floor plan himself long ago. So yeah... there ya have it.
Probably spaced out for one of those shelving units that go behind or a weird one off style toilet that was there before that was a special model/commercial.
Get a different rough toilet and get it back closer to the wall. Easy peasy. Take a measurement and see if someone installed a 10" rough toilet in the space. Possibly try a 14" rough to get it closer to the wall. If it already is a 14" rough toilet ,The contractor probably didn't want to head off the floor joists. the plumber had to rough in the water closet where he could.
My childhood dog used to hide behind the toilet during thunderstorms. He was almost 50 pounds, so he barely fit. He would have loved this.

Despite the toilet it's in the middle of the floor but you can install any tank toilets without any issues at least
Could be adding handicap rails or some other ADA accessories.

Interesting. That's definitely a theory I didn't think about.

Excellent theory. I didn't consider that one 👊
Is this actually real? Unless it’s on the other side (not shown), there is no supply line plumbed from the wall (or floor) for the fixture.
no more looking behind the toilet to see what color the walls used to be!! no excuse not to paint behind the toilet lol
