I do it all the time to get the tub all the way to the top. On the rare occasions that I take a bath instead of a shower.

Looks like she has Mickey Mouse ears.

Can’t escape the nagging even in the bath

Where’s the rubber ducky?

When we moved in, the nice large bathroom included a jet tub which we had not experienced before. Decided to try it out. Just large enough to sit with knees at chin level – about 4′×2′×1.5′. Filled halfway and watched half of that drain out the low overflow when I sat in it. Left me in water only chest high.

Realized the on switch was 6’ away, so asked wife to turn it to on. Pump noise was harsh, and 6 half-inch jets roiled the water, which was very uncomfortable in such small space. Definitely not restful or comfortable.

Decided to pass on the whole deal and got out to turn it off. Water level dropped below jet nozzles and one jet fired a blast of water into the bedroom. We broke up laughing at the whole foolish event.

Still get a great laugh about it all these years later. And still believe that was without doubt the most useless and impractical bathroom fixtures we have ever seen in a home. Many of our neighbors’ houses also have them and they use them the way we do – a place for plants and little knickknacks.

He bathing with his glasses on. It’s impossible to wash your face that way.

You know your Honey knows everything…

I always blocked the overflow. I needed the extra water surface for the navel battles.

That is totally me.

Don’t bother Das Boot.
