    Coway bidet toilet seat remote control holder.

    It is too big for the remote.
    The remote moves around when the button is pushed.

    (Thanks Coway. Your holder is not fit for purpose. smh. )

    I made a pad of expanded styrofoam measuring 71mm wide, 77mm tall and angled from ~6mm thick at the top to 7mm thick at the bottom.

    This will be put in the back bottom of the holder and held in place with double sided tape.

  17. Interacting with a bank?

    Give them no information that you are not legally obliged to give them.

    Account holder has died & you have a recognised Power of Attorney?

    Don't tell the bank about the death unless you are legally obligated to.

    Account holder has reduced capacity & you have a recognised Power of Attorney?

    Don't tell the bank unless you are legally obligated to.

    The bank will screw people over if in their best interest.
