every word of it.

I don’t know about you, but my shit stinks.

I always assumed that bathroom exhaust fans were standard. You wouldn’t build a bathroom without a sink – you wouldn’t build a bathroom without a vent.

But, in the past few weeks I’ve been shown that my expectation about bathrooms is apparently unreasonable.

On my trip to San Francisco, I stayed at the Hotel 480. There were 2 switches in the bathroom – one controlled the lights above the mirror, and one controlled the lights in the shower. There was no switch to control the fan because there was no fan to control.

Surren recently moved into a new apartment. Again, no blower. Now if it was me, having a vent over the toilet is one of the things I would look at when apartment hunting. It’s up there with location in relation to emergency services and access to highways.

What’s the deal? I thought I lived in the United States of America. How can you relax in a bathroom without ventilation?
