FWIW, there is probably a drain pipe in your toilet tank that sits
higher than the typical water level (controlled by the float).  If the
float or valve fail, the excess water drains down this pipe, hence your
toilet tank has never overflowed.  Neither has mine, but my toilet
"runs" right now (I love apartment living) because the valve in the tank
is failing.  It's a common problem.
