Take off glasses to read small print? Nice trick!

If only there was such a thing as a pair of spare glasses, or some sort of glass lens that magnifies things, or a camera phone for taking a picture of the numbers, or uh, I don't know, another human being who could read those for you... It's a real shame none of them have been invented, yet. :rolleyes:

A floor drain will leave the floor wet. This (if properly designed and used) will not.

Meaning you can have a shower, and the next person can use the bathroom immediately in their socks or slippers without getting wet feet.

It would work great as a disabled shower if it could be used without having to fold down the base - there would need to be a drain flush to the ground, obviously.

The floor will be wet after that contraption aswell!

It seems to be more of a space saving measure but what people are supposed to do with that extra 3 foot of floorspace they've saved I have no idea...

I'd say you'd just need to ensure it had drained fully before lifting it up.

It would be very handy for having space to get changed after the shower. Would be ideal on a luxury yacht or something.

The shower is rarely taking up the room.
I've designed a few small units with tiny bathrooms. And it really has to be toilet cubical sized in order to not not have room for a shower
Besides the space you save is still in the bathroom. It's not really useable space.

Sure it is, I get changed in the bathroom, and if my bathroom were any smaller then I'd probably require something like this to gain the extra 3 foot. Great idea.

Not sure it's a lifehack though.

If you bathroom where smaller you would probably just not changed in there.
I don't think you'd need to worry about where you get changes, they would be room for anyone else in the place.

You haven't seen me after a cycle up to Howth summit Bathroom is probably the safest place to get changed

I don't know why but I just pictured that guy who shat himself during a marathon.

That's a pantry, not a fridge. And people keep crisps in the fridge because it's... cool.

It's an eye-decieving pic. I thought they were bags of dog food.

Attempting this ask I type. Will report back

Results:
Worked pretty well. Skin came off easy. Only had the spuds in the boiling water for 5-10 mins. Figure it would work better in the centre wasn't fully cooked, plys I was putting them into a stew so would finish off.

I cant see it working with a flouery (spelling) type of potato as some break apart easily. eg kerr pinks, or golden wonders...
maybe suited to roosters or queen mays.

but ive never done it that way so cant say anything. Ill give it a go tonight if i remember and report back.

For reference I used baby red potatoes

Life pro tip: Eggs make for awesome lube. Not even kidding. Crack one of them suckers open and slather up your cock, and you'll be sliding into even the dryest of pussies with ease.
