The hole is there to allow water to pass through the shower wall and accrue on the floor surface around the toilet, enhancing the sock experience of toiletgoers.

    isn't that what the shaggy pee mat in front of the toilet is for?

    Do you have a penis? The stream can start off rather unpredictably. Especially in the morning, or post-coitus.

    Wait. This is a totally alien thought to my entire life experience. I suppose you don’t pull it back do you? For whatever reason I think that’s how I imagined it? Honestly, I don’t think I have ever imagined it to be fair.

    I do pull it back, idk about the other guys wiener but for me the skin makes for a more unpredictable stream.

    It‘s for wetting your hand while on the toilet. This enables you to wipe and clean your ass with your wet hand.

    The boring answer is that its for reaching the shower controls for adjusting the temperature and pressure without the need to stand under the shower. Mostly for people with disabilites or people who needs aides.

    Wouldn't this also let water out and on to the floor? Surely a sliding or hinged opening couldn't have been that hard to implement

    It won't let out a ton since the water is spraying in an arc that misses it. There will be some water that splashes out after hitting you or the shower walls, but it's not going to soak the floors or anything.

    I doubt it won't make much of a mess. My shower had a few leaky spots of caulking and that was enough to ruin the floors.

    That's a different issue since water pools around the caulk lines.

    I've stayed in hotels that didn't even have glass for the first foot or so of the shower and it was a non-issue, although I definitely expected it to be.

    I don't doubt this may be the purpose but the execution looks bad. It may be an illusion but it seems a little far away from the water controls, you'd have to go past elbow deep. The toilet is definitely in the way. You can't get to it with a wheelchair or while standing, you have to be sitting on the toilet.

    That's even more confusing, why not forego the shower glass entirely and just have a shower curtain instead?

    Yes I know it's likely retrofitted, but I won't pass a chance to say that shower curtains are superior. Shower glass looks glossy in brochures, but everyone IRL has a sad squeegee hanging from it.

    I thought it was to start the shower without getting the cold or hot water all over you.

    Its so you can poop in the shower and toss it in the toilet. Stomping it down clogs the drain

    It's so you can get a nice wet spot on the floor for that maximum bathroom aesthetic.

    Pretty straightforward. Take a nasty shit and warm up the shower while you wipe. Alternatively, warm up the shower after realizing you're out of shit tickets.

    My first thought was to flush the toilet whenever you needed warmer water. I used to rent an apartment where I had to turn on cold water in the sink to get hot enough water in the shower.

    This doesn’t even make sense from a plumbing perspective

    that's what I thought at first, but there is actually a way that it makes sense

    you have hot water and cold water with a certain amount of pressure behind them feeding your apmt. if you turn the shower to full hot, the valve is still going to mix it with cold water. however if you take the cold water out at the sink prior to the shower feed, it's not going to be replaced by more cold water if the system doesn't have enough supply to keep up with it. so your shower water is being mixed with less cold water than before, resulting in a hotter mixed stream from the shower head

    and like maybe there's other things going on and it's not the same in every situation and all that, but you can test this yourself and get this result, so..

    Looks like they installed it backwards, otherwise you'd be able to piss right into the toilet from the shower... because some people think it's gross to wee in the shower.

    It never bothered me, but then I had to replace the 2nd floor bathroom junction from the ceiling below, and saw that the tub, sink, and toilet all join and go into the same pipe. It doesn't matter which drain it goes into, it's all the same pipe.

    Might be handy info at a big party. Pee wherever you want, just keep it off the floor.

    Sure it all leaves through the same pipe, but it’s not like you stand in the toilet, no one ever lays down and soaks in the toilet, most of us don’t put children in the toilet.

    Most people wash their tubs regularly. A little pee is going to wash right away.

    Weekly? Every couple weeks? So you’re good standing in pee for a couple weeks, or you expect no one else to take a shower for a couple weeks?

    It's pee, not glue, it washes right off. Don't you shower with soap and water? Wouldn't that washes the pee down the drain, every single time you use it? It's basically the same method you use in the dishwasher to clean the utensils you EAT with.

    When you have to poop while showering you can easily dispose of it without clogging the drain 👩‍🔬

    Its so you can pass snacks back and forth between the toilet and shower

    Also useful for throwing the hair clots into the toilet.
