No service

[mindstalk]

Ah, apparently my particular room is a private one, being sublet, not a serviced one. So things like soap or more toilet paper are my responsibility.

The world has standardized on so many things. Why are shower controls still this land of wild creativity? And why does no one bother putting some sort of instruction on them, such as "twist this normally immobile part to make water come forth"?

Well, I'll see if I can stagger off to the Natural History Museum. Or find it.

(laughs)... I find myself mentally collecting strange shower fixtures. My favorite is the one where you have to tug at the bottom of the faucet to turn on the shower.

Microwaves and copy machines are the same way.

Grr...

True! Good point. But I encounter them less frequently, especially copy machines.
