So one minute i'm all "la la la...soap goes here, soap goes there...ahh what a lovely shower". Then the next i'm screaming "AHHH WHERE DID THIS PLASTIC SHEET COME FROM AND WHAT IS IT DOING ALL OVER MY BODY"

anybody else have problems in the shower?

my showerhead sometimes springs out of its little holder and wavesr around all over the place like a cut snake

when it does that do you recite the line from indiana jones that goes something like

"why does it have to be snakes"?

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Monday, 11 April 2005 10:59 (twenty years ago)

nah i usually squeal like a girl then swear loudly at the mess. i'll try and remember to be indiana jones next time.

er, can you explain how the fuck you managed to do this shower curtain thing?

― g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 11 April 2005 12:14 (twenty years ago)

The shower curtain rests on two shoddily erected wooden blocks (to hold it in place. But time to time it rolls off the blocks and comes crashing down.

I've had shower curtains molest me before. These days I'm more likely to drown though because the drain is clogged. By the time I turn off the shower, I'm standing up to my calves in water.

Hari, sort it out. 5 minutes with a chisel and you'll be laughing.

My shower keeps falling out of it's holder as well. I keep meaning to gaffer tape it in place.

My shower has been held on with string for the last two years. It's a very good arrangement, except guests tend to take it down and can't work out how the string was fangled before so they can't get it back up again.

Argh, I'm getting to the same point. I made my landlord call a plumber six months ago to clear out the drain, but it's all clogged again. I've tried all manner of Drano products, but it only seems to help for a couple of days.

My shower curtain is held up with string and nails too. I'm fond of it, especially because I got it at Woolworths where it was on a shelf on its own with no price or anything, and when we got it to the counter they told us it wasn't one of their products at all. So we got it for free!

My shower curtain likes to molest me regularly.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 11 April 2005 13:38 (twenty years ago)

The solution is to get a stiff shower curtain; we purchased one to our commune recently, and it hasn't tried anything tricky whatsoever.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 11 April 2005 13:40 (twenty years ago)

Stiff like jeans you've worn for a year without washing or stiff like glass?

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 11 April 2005 13:52 (twenty years ago)

"this sheet of glass seems very stiff!!"

*comedy mayhem ensues*

John,

five minutes with a chisel and i can assure you the last thing i'll be doing is laughing

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Monday, 11 April 2005 15:55 (twenty years ago)

Thanks for the tip Tuomas. Although, I've kind of grown to like the attention.

My shower problems:

At least twice a week I find a cockroach in there. Usually they're between two and three inches long and drinking the water in there. They're a bitch to get and I loathe them so much. On three straight mornings I found cockroaches in the same spot of about the same size lying upside-down while waving their legs frantically...weirdest sense of deja vu ever.

The showerhead always falls down on me and conks me in the back of the head. If the top of my head didn't so closely approach the showerhead I'd probably be knocked unconscious and drown or something.

I have to use a wrench to change the temperature. Other than that I'm OK. Last month, though, I showered while really drunk and dropped the soap. Apparently it made a big noise and I yelled really loudly, so my buddies came banging on the door to see if I was okay. I didn't hear them. They decided I was dead. Luckily I take really short showers and I was out of there before they figured out the best way to knock down the door.

All this begs the question; 'Who would take a shower curtain into Woolworths?'

― Nellie (nellskies), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 04:42 (twenty years ago)

perhaps it's an alien life form
