Weak overhead waterfall showerheads are the WORST! They make it hard to wash conditioner out because the water pressure is so weak. Also not everyone wants to get their hair wet every time they shower.

Nicely written, I guess I’ve suffered from so much AI slop it’s nice to read something zing.

AI can easily write per your specs. I dont know why everyone chooses the default.

I don’t understand the appeal (is there any?) of overhead showers. Yeah sometimes I don’t want to wash my hair, but I’ve got a different primary beef. For me, it’s how do I rinse my pits or between my legs or anywhere facing down, folded or partially covered? I’m just supposed to rely on enough water running down the nearby parts of my body? Bend at difficult to balance angles on the slick shower floors? Cup my hand and splash? Garbage design through and through imo, and I regard anyone who has last used one as likely unclean in some rather key areas
