Clean feet
Here we have another landlord who isn’t exactly stingy, rather a little inept. I’m sure it could have been a case of not really thinking something through if I’m being charitable. The pessimist in me wonders whether he was trying to save of shower hose by keeping the length short.
Anyway, whatever the reason, while there is a shower in this bathroom, it’s pretty useless for washing anything except your feet, or your small child. Have you ever tried holding a shower head in one hand and trying to wash the soap out of your hair with the other? It’s not an easy thing to do.
