    My fav is the ones that just say fuck it and make the whole bathroom into a shower; as if people don’t keep anything else in the bathroom, like idk towels or the clothes you’re putting on after you shower…

    I didn’t want a practical bathroom anyway…

      This is the way most Japanese showers are set up, and it works well because the shower/tub, toilet, and sink/storage area are three separate rooms.

      Here is a (simplified approximation of a) common layout:

        Interesting. I thought a lot of Japanese dwellings were smaller than the average American home. But I’m in the US and my entire bathroom is like between one third and one half of this image. I don’t have room for a setup like this without making the neighboring room significantlly smaller.

          There’s diversity for sure. Old, rural, traditional Japanese homes are huge, most apartments are tiny, and standard single-family homes are usually somewhere in-between. The layout pictured here is most common in houses and apartments with multiple occupants; single-person apartments (especially cheaper or more modern ones) often have a more western-style “unit” bathroom with everything shoved into one room. But there’s a lot of variety; for instance some places have the sink and tub/shower together while the toilet is separate. Japanese homes (especially apartments) often only have one bathroom, so separating out the bath, toilet, and sink/vanity is actually a space-saving compromise, because one person can be using the toilet, one taking a bath, and another brushing their teeth all at the same time with relative privacy without the need for a second (or third) bathroom.

        When the shower is literally alone in its own room, that’s a little different.

        I’m talking about when the full bathroom; toilet, sink, and shower, are all in the one uninterrupted space.

        Did Dave piss on the damn toilet seat again, or is it just splash from the shower? 🤷🏻
