you can bother with multiple sheets if you really really care about bedroom variety

actually I'm not sure what you mean by a shower valve, do you mean the fact that there is a single control for both pressure and temp?

that reminds me though,
104. toilets that are so full of water and also weirdly short that you have to lower yourself carefully, tensing your quads as you pause several times a second, calculating whether it's going to be safe to sit down or you'll have to fish your dong out of the way and hold it someway out of the drink for the duration
especially bad if the loo is so small that [deleted for propriety]

shower valves: in bathtub showersyou have to switch the water between the shower & the bathtub. and there’s only one set of controls for both. ie raise a lever on the bathtub faucet that switches the water to the shower & then turn on the showerit’s weird & silly to me

maybe not the weirdly short thing, but definitely the so full of water it looks like the toilet's blocked thing
