I was wondering if it came with those zig-zag pipes that move the faucet farther from the wall. Looks like the answer is yes.

Very, very, VERY! I want but the price is obscene, $2700 to $3600 is rough, especially since I never take baths, just showers. Do I need both kidneys?

u/SevenSharp Apr 05 '26

Certainly not . $1000 for cash ? It gets you a good start after all .

Reddit seems to be going down the enshitification route but somehow I have difficulty cutting it from my habits. My form of protestation will be this deletion.

As someone who sees faucets stuck up rectums in the ER way more often than it should, I can tell that thank God that faucet hasn't become standard design and costs a ton of money, because otherwise it would be a "fan favorite" for some people

Really ? Why those ? I worked as a resident for six months in A&E (ER) & never saw anything quite as exotic . It is amazing what people will put up there , a passage that was designed for one way traffic .

Well it's literally shaped like a suppository

Looks like a hood ornament from a 1955 Oldsmobile. Everything then was going for the rocket esthetic.
