A lot of Asian homes don’t have a dedicated shower stall, as building spaces tend to be very limited.

Wet rooms are pretty common in Korea, and probably a lot of dense cities. The whole bathroom is treated as the shower, and there’s a drain in the center of the room.

Not saying I like it, but it’s not like this is some landlord special.

One of my old coworkers had an issue with that when he was visiting the US. He was at his hotel room and he did not put the shower curtain on the inside of the tub and basically did not even use it and went about showering all willy nilly. He finished up and there was a bunch of water on the floor and he kind of just assumed the drain was slow. The other person staying in the room from the US went into the bathroom and wondered why the fuck the shower curtain was on the outside of the tub. My coworker was from India and just thought the curtain was there to cover you if someone wanted to take a leak.

Cultural differences. Like the Korean ones, Indian bathrooms are generally designed to drain water from the whole floor, but instead of the center, the floor usually slopes down slightly to drain in a corner.

In the ones that do have a wet area - like in higher end hotels, there's usually a glass door as a separator.

I actually do like that feature. Thinking of doing it at my house. Would make cleaning so much easier. Get the removable shower head, spray everything down and just squeegie it to the drain.

So you put one portal down the toilet, one portal on the bottom of the bucket, and boom. Infinite shower.

I thought it was an appartement in Paris. I had friends who had a kitchen bathroomin this style, there.

Ooofff that hurts 😵‍💫

Suddenly rent raises in the Midwest don't look that bad anymore.

Depends where in New York. Condos in Manhattan are over $2000 a sq. ft. Brooklyn is less than $700 a sq. ft.

3

New Toronto Condos go for over $1000 a sq ft USD. Cities are expensive.

Ahh, I also dream about pooping and taking a shower at the same time ☠️

I’m not big at all and I’m pretty sure my shoulders are wider that that “room”. Lol. I would have to walk in at an angle.

"In your nightmare, you urgently have to go, but the toilet keeps receding away from you...."

There is a wax ring, then 2 bolts that hold it down. Then hook up the water line.

Which opens the question: How would you get in in the first place?

Imagine moving in and then you get depression and eat like shit so you become too fat to reach the toilet and since you're a depressed mess with no self respect you grease up the walls so you can push yourself fatly to the toilet.

I'll bet the plumber had to grease himself up to get in there and do that job.

There's not even enough room to take off my shoes and socks.

Nightmare fuel…. I’d feel as if the walls are trying to swallow me whole… without chewing!

I would like to retract my previous statement about how I don't mind small toilets.
They went the extra mile and installed nice looking tiles on the floor, which is nice. Alternatively, they separated a bathroom with toilets and showed into two rooms, which is usually good, but this particular version could have used a revision.

I would have tagged you but I couldn’t remember your username! It’s the toilet you always dreamed of!

I was trying to figure out how to wipe at all! Even if you stood all the way up, there's hardly room for your arm to reach around.

Easy! It's like a funnel, so you don't even have to line it up. Just throw it down there and bolt it down.

Oh hey! It's my toilet at work! Except ours has a sink you have to squeeze past to get to it.

Tell me you have never installed a toilet, without telling me you have never installed a toilet.
