I thought of this while answering the toilet poll.

I have a normal enclosed shower with perfect water power. Awhile ago I realized how lucky I was when I saw my friends sink/shower. I was like "Where's your shower man?" I had to use that kind of shower in the summer when I went on my summer trip to the beach and it was definitely not enjoyable. The whole bathroom was wet for hours. Evil or Very Mad

I really value my shower time and I really hit the jackpot here with my tile and glass wall shower. I actually like my shower here better than at home.

How many times can you say shower in one post? Very Happy

Yea, its like a water faucet with a plastic hose attached and a drain in the floor. I have no problem with the whole bathroom being the shower, but I would like just 6 more inches of hose to work with as I can't quite get it reach above my head due to being too short. It crimps a lot when I work with it due to it being too taut when working with it's shortness.

My washing machine drains into the floor too. It is common for bathrooms to be simplified in this manner. Sometimes in public restrooms, when I wash my hands, my feet end up being soaked due to the sink not having a drain with water splashing all over in the floor where my feet are. LOL!

I don't have a bathroom sink, but it's not a problem as I just shave and brush teeth in the shower, uh, I mean bathroom. Which also saves time!

Nothing like taking a shower and then a dump afterwards only to get a wet surprise by a toilet seat that is completely drenched.

sojourner1, can't you buy a longer hose?

My bathroom is my shower and it's not a problem. I do occasionally wish I had a bathtub, like this week when I was sick, but it's not a big deal. It would also be nice to have something strong to prop my feet up on while shaving, but again, not a big deal.

I have a separate stall... Not as good as having a tub, but I feel I've moved up in the world and this may have been the only reason I stayed at my current job for a second year.

I love my shower. I have a normal enclosed shower with a powerful handheld showerhead with 3 settings. And The water is always warm. The only thing I don't like is that the water seeps under the door, so my bathroom floor always gets wet.

Regular shower with tub. The floor has a drain in it that we usually only use for cleaning. The floor gets slightly wet from splashes, but I guess a shower curtain would take care of that.

Hmm, shower curtain.

I have two showers - one is in the bathtub with a shower curtain and the othe one in the Master bedroom is just a shower with a glass wall.

We just have the regular, whole-room shower here.
Took me a while to get used to the wet floor bathroom culture here.
Once I found a pair of slippers that drained easily, I never got wet socks again.

ps- I stayed in a room with 2 other foreign teachers once, and they used the 4 dry towels we had been given in less than 2 hours. They were used for soaking up the water on the bathroom floor. Maybe the bathroom slippers were too small for them, lol.
