Shower Grapes

I’m only six feet tall. I’m not a giant, but the shower head at the Super 8 we stayed at was seemingly designed to rinse nothing above my collar bone.

Random nonsense three days a week
Well, you shouldn’t have such a filthy collarbone!
Well, if your face is dirty, wash your feet: the dirt will slide down, giving you a clean face. Proven method, in use for ages. 😀
I’m 6’4…..why is it so difficult to build a shower that covers tall people too?
its not like doors where its difficult to change things or possable structual issues in some cases………just….raise it up 12-24 inchs…it will still reach short people (inless there parts of the earth that I dont know about which have no gravity somehow.)
And it’s always one with no adjustability mounted at nipple height. The ones were you can acheive 2′ grace are always mounted at the sensible 6′ mark to accomodate everyone up to Andre the Giant.
Try being 5’6″ and still having to squat to wash your hair :/
Oh well, at least I get to feel tall.
Could NOT stop laughing. I’m 5’5″ and even I have had this problem in hotel showers.
I’m embarrassed to admit I smacked my head enough to eventually injure myself, but I recently stayed in a house in Kyoto where, it turns out, the passage on the stairway was only 5’1″. And the thing is that I’m not accustomed to minding my head; I’m 5’10”. And for some reason, the warnings are only posted on the descending side. No, really, even in a restaurant. Sometimes you smack your head going up because you just don’t notice until it’s too late. I worked for months to get that pain out of my shoulder. The fourth time I cracked myself, I think—maybe the fifth—it was back, but only took a few days to clear.
Well, see, in hotels and motels, cutting out 8 inches of copper pipe in every room can add up. In a hotel with 240 rooms, that comes to about 160 feet of pipe. Which means savings of $256. And… Ok that’s just a ridiculously small sum of money. There’s no way that hotels can justify this. $256 is a pittance compared to the overall cost of building a hotel.
Have you ever stayed in a Super 8? $256 was the entire budget to build the place.
Well you have to consider who was hired to do the installs. Bet they would have needed a ladder to install at that height and they either didn’t have one or could not be bothered dragging one around.
Also the engineers/architects/inspectors if they ever even bothered to be on site to make sure everything was built to specification and up to code.
In this time, because of an unfortunate administrative error, the law referenced meters instead of feet… now people long for the days when you could reach the shower head…
this one is excellent.
My old college dorm building only had these, and we lived there for a whole year. Imagine that torture. They had some height extends available, but they had to ration them out because they only had a few. Still better than my previous dorm that only had public showers. *shudder*
I’m not much of a ‘laugh out loud’ person, but you got me with “Not if you use the trapeze and stirrups, moron!” XD
I wish I knew where these hotels with the low showerheads are. I’m 4’10”, and I can never reach the showerhead to adjust it. So irritating!
And the other side is the damn shower heads in my brother’s house. I think they are 7 foot high, I’m 5′ maybe 2. They are in the middle of a small shower stall, no way to adjust it or get out to catch your breath, or even move out of the way to get the soap, without sticking your head out, which soaks the rug. I thoroughly hate visiting him. Aside from the fact I’m not fond of his wife (she’s his choice so I don’t say anything), and I hate the mattresses on his guest beds. The floor is softer and I have slept on it instead! Rant done, sorry. And stirrups, really, I can tell a guy writes this, LOL.
Last panel… ew…
That means yer in Midget Country.
