Dear Great Britain, we need to talk. You know I love you, even though I only know a little part of you, London, but I assume the same goes for the rest of you. Correct me if I’m wrong.
You are mostly wonderful, beautiful, functional and interesting, but you have one attribute that is very annoying. Most of your faucets, doorhandles and all sorts of knobs make no fucking sense!
England has mostly gotten rid of having the cold and hot water on different taps, but I’m not sure if they made it any better.
You never know whether you need to twist, turn, pull, push, tilt, swipe or do a combination of these when trying to make water come out of the faucet or shower. And don’t even try to find that perfect water temperature, waste of time and energy.
I consider myself smart and having a good sense of common knowledge, but I struggle with this! Every time I went to a different bathroom in London, it’s another puzzle to be solved! The gin and tonics don’t help by the way...
As a bonus, in most public bathrooms, the doors open towards inside the stall, so you have to squeeze in. And I’m tiny, I don’t know how bigger people handle it!
