This would have worked better if they’d cut it in the shape of a spaceship.
Vssooom!
It’s coming through!! THINGS! HORRIBLE THINGS!
drrr…drrr…drrr !
Nice decorative detailing in the border surrounding the outlet. Very posh. In the Art Nouveau tradition, I would suppose.
Artie is the new guy at the mirror store.
I must confess I don’t really like Artie; I think he’s a pane. I’m not the only one who thinks this, either, because he’s developed such a spotty résumé. (In fact, I think he was once in charge of cleaning this bathroom.) He used to work as a roofer, until he hit Spike with that nail. Ouch! And before that, he was an attendant at Gold’s, until he spilled all that gatorade on Jim’s shoes, so that didn’t work out. He went over to the factory to see Hiram (and if Hiram can’t get you a job in this town, no one can), but even applying for factory work hasn’t fabricated any new career paths for him. Still, it’s a part of growing up. We’ll see how Artie’s latest job at the mirror shop reflects upon his new-found maturity, if he has any. But if this is an example of his work, don’t count on much.
Since he has a new girlfriend, I bet Hiram can walk her to get to the Four Roses cafe.
Great! They can meet up with Buzz– I think we were just talking about him in this very bathroom– and his good buddy, Aaron Judgment.
Last I heard, Miss Kitty scratched these mirrors with his brother Bad Judgement.
It’s the case of the Maker’s Mark. I can’t say with Absolut certainty who is responsible for the condition of this bathroom; the fault could be Bailey’s, or maybe it’s Gordon’s. It could be the work of the mysterious Captain Morgan, or even Jose Cuervo. But any Patron of this bathroom should be warned that finding the answer will probably involve a mixed up, Wild-Turkey-Gray-Goose chase, with very painful consequences.
*TWEEEEEEET* Ten-minute punalty for you.
I think some of the booze kc\cc mentioned, has something to do with that.
“And yes, I was drinking before 9 in the morning, but that’s not the point.”
That installer’s wife is going to be so ticked if she ever finds out why her diamond ring mysteriously disappeared from her nightstand one night and showed up again the next!
Why is this weird? I’ve seen outlets in mirrors tons of times. It’s just missing it’s faceplate. That’s why it looks funny.
Thank you for saying it. This is hardly a kludge. It’d lean more towards fail than kludge…
this is actually pretty common, especially with large mirror installations in bathrooms. it takes a good bit of skill to punch a hole through a thin sheet of glass without cracking. it does suck if the cover on the outlet does not cover all of the hole. many contractors will relocate the outlet because they know they might go through 10 5×8 mirror panels before getting it right.
I can think of a lot of worser things coming through an extra dimensional vortex then free electricity.
Poor grammar and spelling, for instance.
Ok I’ll fix it:
I can think of a lot of worser things coming thru an extra dimensional vortex then free ‘lectricity.
*xtra deementionil*
What appears to be an outlet installed in the mirror, is actually the reflection of a small, rather surprised robot entering the bathroom.
The robot is a germaphobe. It is shocked to find that someone has run off with the soap dispensers.
“Who would do such a thing? Error…does not compute…”
Error 505: Soap Not Found.
Made me LOL!
too well done to be considered a kludge. this reflects well on the installer.
That wouldn’t look half bad with a chrome wall plate – not that there’s any evidence they might be worried about appearances.
No, they make mirror wall plates (plastic) just for this exact purpose. But you have to go to a glass supplier to get them.
The glass guy cut the hole just right – don’t let the glass touch the receptacle harp, so a crack doesn’t get started from a scratch.
Now there’s only the big scar in the silvering… From cleaning chemicals wicking up from the bottom channel.
(Silicone Sealer is your friend. Especially BEFORE the damage is done.)
Chrome and mirror wall plates? No, I’m afraid the correct answer we’re looking for is, “25-cent, almond-colored wall plate.” We’re going for a more eclectic look here, you know. The mention of cleaning chemicals is perhaps a tad optimistic, and this may push everyone over the edge, but I bet that door sticks in the jamb.
You can get wallplates made of mirrored glass.
Ahahahaha!
Now let’s just worry about details:
What’s the black spot/hole on the right of the sink and what’s the pattern of the screw holding the plate against the wall?
And if I see correctly, is there another hole/spot followed by a sink on the extreme right? If so, why so much space inbetween?
Black spots: in-counter soap dispensers, probably removed when they broke. (Why buy new ones?)
Screws on wall – the laminate came off the end-plate wood, and/or the end-plate (chipboard) came unglued from the wall. Expedient fix.
The back-splash is molded one-piece with the counter top, but the end sides come loose so you can trim to length to fit the walls. Framers never get it exact.
And kudos to the guy who did such nice, even spacing on those screws… oh, wait. Never mind.
I got a charge out of this!
Don’t you dare do it again, young man. I hope you’ve been grounded.
Y’know, this is pretty common practice and that hole is actually cut quite well. All it needs is a cover.
There’s a bunch of reasons why the silver backing peels away from the glass (as another comenter has noticed). The most common is use of a wrong type of adhesive (ex. silicone) to adhere the mirror to the wall.
What a great idea to plug into!
“Mirror, morror on the wall, who’s the most shocking of them all?”
morror?
Mirror + horror = great scene at the movies, I’ll wager…
Sauntering in from the bar to relive himself, Bill glances at the mirror and realizes he’s “buzzed.”
Sounds like Buzz is Bill’s alter ego, the one who always pees in the sink.
To Infinity, and beyond!!!!
!tihs ho
He’s thinking with portals
Brilliant!! We now have a way to make use of those impossible-to-reach outlets behind impossible-to-move pieces of furniture (filing cabinets, beds, etc.).
You, *subject name here*, must be the pride of *subject hometown here*!
Haha, classic.
And, that’s actually a good idea ;D
The door seems kind of nice, actually, and probably, it matches the rest of the office building, which is also nice. The bathroom, however, is a stark contrast to the rest of the building to discourage workers from taking time away from their jobs for bathroom breaks. No way will people linger in this room for anything short of an emergency. Yet another stepping stone on management’s path to eternal damnation.
Electric outlet right near splashing water,yummy.
It’s a GFCI outlet. Look it up.
Today must just be Cheezburgers post whatever pictures we find day as they are all poor today, and it’s not even Friday.
Mr. Bemused, what you’ve just posted… is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent comment were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone visiting this website is now dumber for having read it. I award you no Internets, and may Ceiling Cat have mercy on your soul.
Yeah! Now tell him about what the zombies are gonna do!
*chuckle*
Wow- just wow.
There was a shocking image in the mirror: perhaps a reflection on the designer of the bathroom.
After Donald Pleasance shattered the mirror with the axe, I was certain that the horror of the Satanic outlet had been forever trapped in that hellish dimension. I was wrong.
Pass me a size 6 brain untangler, will ya? Thanks.
As Eugene entered the public restroom he noted the unusual location of the outlet and mused, “Well, at least it’s a GFI receptacle.” His amusement turned to consternation, however when he proceeded to relieve himself and discovered there were similarly mounted outlets in each and every urinal!
That would easily explain the burning feeling every time he pees.
The last bathroom photo we saw in here reminded people of a bathroom at UT. This one must be from UTI.
Hey, at least it’s a GFI…
Day: 7462
Have noted strange phenomenon.
Zombies are chewing off the cover plates on all GFI electrical outlets. Found uneaten one that was mounted in a mirror. Removed it, may come in handy later.
