So you guys know those dark grey paving tiles they use in the city? You guys also know how they become slippier than a slip n slide when it rains? I've found something even worse... Some idiot decided to use those as the flooring in the shower at the hotel I'm staying at... 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
It's not that bad to start with, because feet (or at least mine) are generally grippy enough, but once you add a bit of conditioner, or hell, even just body wash, it basically becomes a how still can I stand? game. They Ldo only uses the absolute slightest angle to the drain, and used one of those teeny tiny drains at that, so it does pool unless you make an active effort to get water to flow to the other side and push it down the drain
My shower at home sucks too, but isn't quite that bad. It's got a steeper angle to a wider drain, and I have one of those shower heads you can grab off and move about, which makes it a lot easier to wash things down the drain. Even so, I have a non slip mat, and leave the door slightly ajar so I could catch myself on the towel rail if I slip. Here there's just about nothing. Couldn't even use the tap because it's kind of recessed into the wall
