what's with the constantly changing shower diverters? i mean, i'm fairly mechanically inclined. after all, i am a designer. but every time i stay at a hotel, there is some new way of turning on the shower or moving the water from a state of bath-ness to a state of shower-ness that baffles me at six in the morning (more than usual).
push this, turn that, pull those... and always the opposite way from what you think it ought to be. and what does that thing do?

oh, and i like my showers hot, not molten.
could the towels be any harder? i understand the need to exfoliate, but not to the third level of the epidermis. i look like a burn victim when i've finished drying off. i did manage to get that rough patch behind my elbow baby soft, however.
are the attendees of hotels usually very tiny? because there is no way that soap will last to clean all the dirt off my body. i barely get my right leg lathered when inexplicably i lose the soap. every time. i get into the morning ritual and suds up my right leg and then, somewhere around the toes, the "bar" of soap evaporates... can it really be called a bar though? this last time it was more of a nugget.
bathroom fans should not be an amenity. just my opinion, but they should come standard. for more reasons than just the post-shower-need-to-see-myself thing. i mean, it generally takes an hour or two until the ambient air in the room (generally somewhere around 7 degrees above freezing) dries the mirror off enough that i can actually see myself. and by then it is too late... inevitably one of my three hairs is out of place and i missed my opportunity to shave.
and someone needs to tell them that those lights are not flattering. in fact, even with the timer sunlamp--excuse me, red colored flood light--i still look like a medieval beggar with syphilis.
and that is not how i normally look.
how many sheets of fabric does one need in the bathroom, anyway? let's see... there's your washcloth (known by the parents as warsh cloth). you have an over sized washcloth (presumably a hand towel). there's a horribly inadequate bath towel (see above exfoliation experiment. and whatever kind of towel you're thinking of: subtract a third of the material and you'll be in the ballpark).
this set, then, is in triplicate with usually an erroneous seventh towel of whichever of the three sizes pleased the ethnic room attendee that day.
and finally, there is the postage stamp sized 'tight-weave' towel which, i can only assume (by systematic elimination) is used for drying off on. one can only differentiate this piece of material from the others because of the coarser (if that's possible) weave in the center. the size matches that of the bath towel and the material is the same as the three other sheets, but this one feels more like upholstery, rather than sandpaper.
bathrooms are standard the world over. (or at least in the US) so why, then, is there this need to 'be creative' with bathrooms in your home-away-from-home?
i need to get up now, my skin is still rebuilding itself from my last business trip...

Um...Brice...you've been thinking about this for way too long.
LOL
I always bring my own towel and soaps (because I am a woman and need at least 3 diffrent scented soaps)including shampoos etc. Hotels are not up to par with me!
