How Ceiling Cat Makes It Rain

Favorite Comment: Fixer Jompe71 says, “It’s not a shower, it’s a beam-me-up-scottifer. Not yet tuned into perfection and sometimes accidents happen which makes people explode. In such case the cleaning crew uses the fire hose to wash up. This surely must be the only explanation why someone would put tiles in the ceiling!”
I concur that “Beam-me-up-scottifer” is the best name for teleportation devices. – Ms. Fix-it Decree

I hope this is a shower for a really tall person!

“Beam-me-up-scottifer” is a win if I’ve ever seen one. ;D
If you rotate the picture 90 degrees counter-clockwise, you will clearly see that this is not a showerhead but is actually a minimalist bidet.
what the hell? failure to measure/cut/install properly or laziness is not a kludge; it’s just stupid. FAIL!
It seems to me the picture orientation is wrong. Try to rotate it on 90 degrees ccw. It’s a drainage.
Looks like a miniature Dalek either escaping through ceiling hole or coming at you base first.

Ninety degrees ccw would make it on the wall.
I’m surprised they didn’t just drill a few holes in the ceiling tiles to let water sprinkle whoever is taking a shower… wouldn’t this be a nicer kludge?
And so trendy too!
Shower Head is watching you…you get the idea
♪♫ I always feel like
Somebody’s watching me!
And I got no privacy. ♫♪
Well if you think about it, you can save 15% or more on your home improvement by doing it yourself
In Soviet Union, Shower Head is watching you…
I love how they added the little filler piece of tile because too much open space around the shower head would just look bad. Well played
On their path to perfection and to meet the building code (obviously!) they left a gap around the shower head to prevent monstrosity from overheating!
No filler piece here, just some good ol’ white caulking adhesive and voilà! True redneck fashion.
Lowering the ceiling over your shower is nice because it keeps it warm and steamy but I’d say this is a bit sloppy and six inches too far down. It will work until the shower head plugs up or somebody jams their finger reaching up.
And the masses rejoiced, until they realized that this of course meant they would get wet. At which point they mewed, hissed and scratched to get back to where it was dry and safe.
Adjustable? Sure it’s adjustable. Just stand over there and lean toward this side. Now stand here, dip down and bend to the side a little like this. See? It’s adjustable.
You think that the shower could’ve just been pull out just yet?
I’m not sure it’s a showerhead anymore. Looks more like the Stanley Cup that got thrown in the air by overexcited winning team and ended up getting stuck through the locker-room ceiling.
If the plumbing is trying to escape, I can’t imagine how bad the rest of the kludges in this room are.
Maybe the kludges are wicked awesome and it’s trying to break in.
Tile Installer FAIL
If you want to lower the ceiling in the shower, or mount the head extra-high for a tall person, you make a little recessed niche up there for the shower head.
Oh man, they didn’t even use a round hole for the round shower head! Way to kludge.
This must be the same stall from 3/19/2010 but the opposite, upper corner. There is a lever around the back of the wall behind the toilet. The lever will convert the stall to match your needs: lower the shower head, protrude the shower handles through the side wall, and drop the toilet into the floor (to serve as a drain) OR the exact opposite. That way, you can’t accidentally turn on the shower or bump your head while you are getting on/off your porcelain throne. The design maximizes use of limited space for both necessities.
I’m tall. I like this kludge. I wonder if the shower head is the the floor boards of the upper story?
Ninja Shower is watching you shower.
It’d be creepier looking if it’d been a hand held shower.
I’d sooner have this than what I’ve got – a shower head mounted far too low. I’m breaking my back trying to wash my hair and I’m only 5′ 10″, I pity the next tall guy that rents my flat…
This photo is from a Norw… uh, never mind.
Thank you, dono1
This comment of yours has changed my life where Scientology, Church of the FSM, and Oprha’s Book List had all failed.
this must be in the same room as that toilet
Here’s the same bathroom from a different angle:

It’s worse than it looks. That is actually the drain from the apartment upstairs.
WAIT! maybe the reason there’s tile on the ceiling is because they posted this photo UPSIDE DOWN!!!
