Five Four Reasons Why My Bathroom Was Created By A Man
1) It’s pink. Only a man would think that a woman wants a pink bathroom. Just because we’re feminine doesn’t mean we all love pink. And even if I did love pink, it doesn’t mean I want to sit on a pink toilet.
2) There are no towel racks*. Most men don’t wash their hands, so why would they need a towel rack?
3) The knob for the faucet was upside down. Okay, that’s actually a sign that a woman fixed it.
4) The mirror is way too high. Men are usually much taller than women, I get it. But I can barely see my face in it. I refuse to bring a step-stool into the bathroom so I can watch myself brush my teeth.
5) There’s a giant window in my shower. I appreciate the light, but I’m not into free shows. I don’t care if it’s made of that weird glass that you can’t directly see through. It’s enough for someone to tell that there is a naked person in the shower.
Writing this made me think of the Home Improvement episode where Tim and Al debut the “Man’s Bathroom.”
You know, I wouldn’t mind a TV in there…
* Landlord stopped by yesterday and installed one. Woo hoo!

I have the same kind of window in my shower! And I get a little weirded out by that sometimes…

Oh, I love those block glass / frosted glass windows in bathrooms. I hate bathrooms that are like caves, so I’ll take the risk of someone seeing an outline over no natural light any day.
If it makes you feel better, the developer for our condo installed many of the locks and all of the light dimmers in upside down. So, we put our keys in with the flat side up and we push the dimmer up to turn the lights down. It’s so weird and really annoying!

I LOVE Home Improvement… one of the many shows I still watch from growing up. Tim and I have alot in common, only I fancy the electronics more than the cars.
You know, I’ve seen mini shower curtains for sale, developed specifically for windows in showers… there has to be one with your name on it somewhere.
psh, who needs towel racks when you have your shirt?

I do happen to like pink but I think a pink toilet is pushing it WAY too far.

That IS typically the type of person you find in a shower.

At my last home, there was a HUGE window in the shower, as well. My roommate and I toiled over what to do about the damn thing for a few weeks, all the while leaning to one side or the other of it while showering. We finally pinned a laminated poster over it, and it worked pretty well.

I had a pepto bismol pink bathroom once and it had no outlet. I hated that bathroom for every reason except it had it’s own private heater in there. Loved that heater!

I remember that Home Improvement episode! haha, I loved that show as a kid. I have even watched the reruns sometimes if I am flipping through the channels and nothing else is on! as for your bathroom, mine doesn’t have any of those problems that you have, but my ex bf’s bathroom had one of those windows you mentioned and I hated it! Even though no one could see through, I felt exposed!

I have one of those freaky opaque shower windows too. The ONLY time I like it is when I’m cleaning with bleach. And really, that happens wayyy less often than I shower.
