Things That Make You Go Hmmmm…
Posted By Kristabella on December 10, 2008
I’m on a business trip for part of this week in Pittsburgh, which means I’m staying in a hotel. It is a very nice room. But I am a little confused about one thing.
This is the bathroom.
Do you notice something odd? Like possibly how you have to be Stretch Armstrong to be able to wipe your ass with something other than your hand or the shower curtain?
See?
Apparently this hotel is not kid-friendly and also hate midgets and people with short arms.
Either that or the housekeeping staff has to clean up some very interesting messes. Great way to save on toilet paper costs, since no one is using it because they CAN’T REACH IT!
Do you think some engineer did some extensive research about how far you could put the toilet paper away from the actual toilet where it was still close enough for a majority of people to reach while stretching and pulling only half their cheeks off the seat? Was the quotient some sort of Distance Before Drippage? Someone please explain this to me!

Just the sight of that bathroom makes me want to puke! You know that the shower curtain totally smells like mold (they always do) and that the floor hasn’t been cleaned properly since it was installed. Disgusting. I’d hate to see what the bed looks like. You poor dear.
And you’re kinda tall, too, so if you can’t reach it, who can? Maybe a giant designed the bathrooms and let out his pent-up anger of a lifetime of being made fun of for his towering height and this was his way of laughing in the faces of all us little people who taunted him for so long. Ya think?

You know what’s great? Being a man.
Also, wiping your ass with a shower curtain.
And let me also point out here that in some cultures, even today, that is what left hands are for. That’s why right-thinking people never trust lefties.

I love the fact that you actually sat on the toilet and took a photo from that perspective, just to illustrate your point. This is why we could totally hang out (though not on adjoining toilets).

I grew up in the 50’s, when homes were normal sized, about 1600 sf for a family of 5. Our bathroom was considered normal for standards back then but compared to the ones today where they are large enough to put a Naugahyde sofa in them while you prepare to take a dump. So the terlet room I had in my house was so small you could shower, brush your teeth and take a dump without having to move both feet.
Maybe you forgot to get one of those grabbers!

I’d be screwed. If you can’t reach the TP, no way I’m coming close. Should have packed some baby wipes.
another reason i can NEVER go to Pittsburgh.

Okay – that’s just weird. I don’t want to know what those marks are on the wallpaper either.

It looks like some contractor was bored with his job one day and was all, “lets mess with ’em and put the toilet paper impossibly far away from the toilet”
yeah that’s probably how it happened…

Hahhaahhahahhahahha! That’s hilarious. And HOW could they not have gotten tons of complaints? Maybe people are embarrassed to because it’s in the bathroom.

That’s pretty funny. I’d say that the contractors were trying to mess with people, but what fun is it unless you actually watch people struggle? You did check the bathroom for hidden cameras, right?

The roll of TP on the left is suspiciously empty so SOMEONE figured it out. Maybe you should start some kind of book, like they have a B&Bs reviewing their stays, only this one will be tips for wiping your ass in the disproportionate bathroom.

Thank you for making me laugh so hard at my desk that Diet Pepsi almost came out of my nose. Classic.

I hate hate hate (did I mention hate?) hotels. I always end up with one with a jacked up bathroom. If you can’t reach the toilet paper, be glad that’s it’s only issue. On the upside, at least you can soak your feet while taking a piss!

Wow, gotta be forward-thinking in that bathroom! I hope you’re at least enjoying Pittsburgh. It’s a great city. Really.

LOL!!
I love business trips for the sole reason they help me figure out where I never want to go on vacation.
I don’t understand how no one has complained about this….
Josies last blog post..Just can’t let it go
I bet the maids have found the roll of toilet paper moved to the floor next to the toilet more times than they can remember.

Aw hell, yet another fine example of midget discrimination. That’s it. I’m going to be leaving some midget turds in that hotel’s stocking come Christmas.
Wow, so they designed this bathroom for Phelps, your saying…wingspan under 6 feet need not apply…
I’ll bet that made your bathroom trips lots of fun during your stay…yikes!

That is pretty freaking funny… but supremely retarded. You should call the front desk and ask who’s bright idea that was. I hope the rest of the stay is better!
Use the shower curtain and perhaps they’ll redesign their bathrooms fairly quickly 😉

Maybe it really is a kid- and midget-friendly hotel, but you’re supposed to supply your own kid/midget to help with such duties? (Hehe… du-ties.)
Given how far away that tp roll is, I’d be hesitant to use their towels (which I imagine are much softer than the shower curtain).
HAAAAAAAAAAA.
That is all.

You know, it took me until the second picture to figure out what was wrong. Than I almost fell out of my chair!
Was the floor clean? ew.
PIMPF!!!

OMG! I have stayed at this hotel (or one of their properties) but given that I traveled to Pitts, pa -I’m sure I have and you are so right. WHO did they design that bathroom for? Uggh.. one of the many things I don’t miss about my old job.
PS – flip flops – you want flip flops for hotel bathrooms b/c we all know that the floor -if at all cleaned – wasn’t cleaned properly. Lysol – is also your friend when you travel -I used to walk in my hotel room – and just sprayed EVERYTHING down.
