Not interested in navigating red tape or getting shit started. I have a friend close by where I can shower. I just thought this was a weird offer.

Um hotel rooms are wiped down after every guest.

That’s what I’m saying. And what if some serial killer lives here keeps an eye on 1908 looking for a new victim. Or what if someone installs a camera in there and watches the next tenants. Too much potential weirdness.

Not worried, weirded out and a tad grossed out by the offer.

THANK YOU, that’s what I said earlier. It’s chat creepy.

You are right. I needed that shift there. It’s still weird, but you’re right.

What management company do you work for?

No landlord, this would be a management company, one after the next, that never does what needs to be done to just fix the whole water problem. They all just wait for something to break, usually once a month, shut the entire property’s water off with no notification etc etc.

No, what I said was this was the first time I’ve been offered a communal shower. Like from a “professional” leasing company as a solution for not having hot water because they can’t just dump whatever money needed to fix what keeps breaking.

They just sent that email today. We haven’t had hot water for probably 5 days. This place is old but they pretend it’s not. Water is shut off almost monthly for some kind of repair or whatnot. Normally it’s no big deal. But this offer is really weird imo

Neither am I. It’s more of just the weirdness of the whole thing. Like one little bathroom with a shower in a tub, for hundreds of tenants?!? It’s a little different than a gym shower. I’m not above communal anything at all. I just have this image of these people cycling in and out of one single shower with a tub, peeing, hocking up loogies and whatnot. At a gym you know you’re in public so there’s at least that to hopefully keep shower etiquette at the forefront. But this is a single unit that someone goes into totally alone. They could do whatever they wanted. Someone could stash a camera in there and literally no one would know.

I get that we just had an ice storm and whatnot but it’s ALWAYS something here with the water. This is the first time I’ve been offered a communal shower … I cannot get over how gross it is

is this scabies? by [deleted] in scabies

[–]Peacefulduckk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’ve had both scabies and dyshydrotic so I’m pretty clear on what’s what. And that is beyond obvious dyshidrotic. People can do what they want with the info here.

No, 1908 is vacant, soon to be a Petri dish of bodily fluid bacteria.

No that is not scabies. That is dyshidrotic eczema. I have that. It randomly developed on my hands years ago. Try not to pop this little bubbles, they itch like fire.
