I built one in our shower so my wife can prop her foot up on it when she shaves. Also you can sit on it and treat yourself to your own spa.

This is the answer in my experience, the ladies really dig shower benches so they can shave their legs.

As a man I really enjoy shower benches so I can sit down.

Sitting, sitting is the opposite of standing. Sitting is the opposite of running around. Sitting is a wonderful thing to do.

Sittim*

Say hi to TJ Mack's wipe for me.

The great equalizer. Everyone from the highest pharoah to the lowest peasant enjoys a good sit.

As an old man, I really enjoy shower benches so that I can wash past my knees without passing out.

Seated Shower beer.

Often have I wanted to wash my feet while hungover. A box in the shower! What a country!

I love to take a big sit in the shower

As a woman with no shower bench, you are 100% correct. It’s like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest trying to shave and nothing to put my leg on😂

I’m balancing on one leg with a foot on the wall, typically. A bench would be amazing.

I immediately thought "I spend all day on my feet at work and I would love a seat in the shower to get off my feet and relax"

You can use it as a stool to help wash your feet or sit on it while you beat off.

Just don't catch your scrote on those sharp corners

A new fear appeared!

I will sandpaper that down haha

I think that would be painful too.

Sandpaper a scrotum off? Definitely painful, but I’d recommend 50 grit on an industrial sander.

Start soft and work up to a higher grit

High grit is the soft stuff! Gotta get down to like....10 grit! That'll get that gooch

If you like the pain of course.

Of *coarse

Gotta catch em all *throws my ball at the corner”

Or fall on them. This a major hazard

Idea: sand the edges softer and then cut pool floats in half over them like a buffer

A thick towel can come in handy!

For all the blood?

Mmmm thicccc towel….cum in handy

File the corners

Hey, don't kink shame!

Nobody likes to hang on Scrote Corner.

Catch your scrote clear your throat

I wear a cup with a dick hole drilled in it

They shoulda framed it larger and added some bullnose end tiles

Wash ya feet! And beat ya meat!

Good place to have a nice cry also

In the shower, nobody can see you're crying.

Simple as.

"You see that shampoo bottle Now stick it up my ass Push it in and out at a medium pace"

I feel so humiliated; I'm about to blow my load!

Now shave off my pubes and punch me in the face!

Call me an ugly woman, and watch me whack off!

Man I feel like I have never met anyone else who knows this album. I like singing “piece of shit car” and no one ever knows it. Thanks for the nostalgia!

It sucks royal dick!

I prefer to stand on it to beat off, but I admit I'm odd.

So you just catch wafts of steam

steamen

You gotta assert your dominance to the shower stool, let it know who’s the boss

Or crack your head on that edge when slipping.

Or use it as a shelf for all your shampoos and soaps etc.

That’s something I’ve usually seen in retirement homes. It’s for old people to sit and shower as they’re more susceptible to slip and fall

Should be some grab rails to accompany that though.

It’s too short and small for that. Most likely a ledge to shave legs on

I suspect there is something under it that's part of the frame of the house. Imagine an elderly person falling in the shower against those angled corners, the injuries would be epic so I'm not sold on it being for that purpose. Especially with no hand holds on the wall to support themselves.

And if you're really lucky and have a willing gf or wife it's the blowjob part of the shower. Lol

As a nob gobbler I can verify. Stools = superior shower fallacio

Can also use it to stub your toes if you’re into that

I use mine to vom off of after a big night

PONDERING STOOL pondering stool (stool for pondering)

who up pondering they orb in the shower?

To kill you better if you slip...

God no sh*t. This whole shower is set up like a nightmare

Only thing wrong with it seems to be subpar craftsmanship, at least from the pictures. Are their other issues?

The shower is claustrophobic and covered in sharp angles so we’re thinking about removing everything. But that step seems like it has a vent of some sort. So I’m a little worried about it housing something important

The vent is probably to help with moisture after showers if the bathroom is poorly ventilated. As for the tiles, if you’ve got the money, I’d pay to have it retiled, and have them soften the corners/edges as well

In the meantime there’s gotta be a way to cover those sharp angles with some kind of rubber or plastic though.

some caution tape should do the trick

Maybe a wet floor sign every time you turn on the shower also

Also make sure to wear a high visibility jacket, safety glasses and appropriate ear protection.

Also, a condom.

Dude I'm fucking laughing so hard

Claustrophobic?! That’s a dream lol my shower barely fits my skinny ass😂 like you got a seat too ahaha that’s sick af (not the sharp edges, that’s pretty scary😅)

It's either a steam shower or a camera to take pictures of you.

Maybe you can get some baby proofing corners to put on there

You’re allowed to swear on Reddit my dude

I did slip in my shower a few years ago and fucked up a couple ribs. It was a standard bathtub and I hit the side hard. It was no joke. You are right this thing would likely kill him with a good slip and a hit to the head.

Can that even be fixed somehow without ripping everything out? It's fucking terrifying...

Crying stool

The crying corner

Every corner is a crying corner if you try hard enough

*if you cry hard enough

it's to sit and cry

Ah, Wednesday night.

What happens on wednesdays?

We cry on the crying stoool

and also wear pink

I cry in the rain so no one knows I’m crying

Someone's boxed in an old soil pipe/ air admittance valve but thought to themselves; "why not make this into a seat"

This. It's to hide a big old fashioned lead pipe or something which are a bitch to move, and also provide seating at the same time.

When I tore out the fiberglass shower enclosure in my master bathroom, I was shocked to find that the monkey’s anus HVAC guy who installed the system when our house was built ran the duct/vent for my wife’s office *[through the floor in our shower](https://i.imgur.com/OSGtKO8.jpg)*. I was already planning on installed a floating shelf there, but had to rework the duct to reduce the depth of it, and then build out structure for a traditional bench. End result still works well, but it still drives me nuts that they did this.

So, (being serious) don’t go at it with a sledge hammer to start removal?

If your time is valuable, rent a hammer drill with a 2-3” spade bit to get under the tile and it should come off quickly. Hopefully the previous remodeler tiled over hardy board, You can try to bust it off, but it was easiest for me to just pop the screws out and carry it out. You don’t have to Kool-Aid man through the walls when demolishing.

You don’t want to fuck around with unknown utilities. “Just smash this unknown underground shit with a sledgehammer” is generally not gonna lead you anywhere good.

Shitty tile work and mold heaven You really need to take care of this. There appears to be a hole cut for a vent. It was probably for a steam generator (does you tile go to the ceiling and/or your door completely close). Is so it was a steam shower. With the steam inlet gone you now have an exposed hole that in all likelihood goes to your sub floor. Every shower you take will let more water into the sub flirting and you will develop even more mold and wet rot. Your joists and flooring will rot out from underneath.

You are the only one who suggested something has been closed off here. I've seen this plenty of times where some pipes come through a wall, maybe sewage pipes from another floor or something, and they've been boxed off with some drywall and tiled over. Though admittedly I've never seen it IN an actual shower stall, I wouldn't be surprised at all, plenty of janky stuff like that, especially in older buildings where stuff has been moved around over the years.

I'm gonna bet they used plywood to frame the box out, looks like its swelling and pushing the tile out. I can smell the mould from here

Something sharp to hit your head on and bleed to death when you slip

Seriously. Wtf is up with those corners

It where the plate and silverware go.

Table for one madam

*doing dishes and self at the same time* "Hehe, everyone's stupid but me"

This is my masterbation station.

does OP know you're going into his house for this?

That would ruin the fun.

Blow job stool

I tell ya, if there's one thing that gets her in the giving mood, it's kneeling on hard shower tile.

It is both the masterbation station and a place to keep your bottles of shower gel and shampoo so that they are easier to get to.

Good support for shaving your legs. :)

A place to sit when you’re crying depressed in the shower. Quite considerate of the previous owners.

It's a luxury accessory, now you don't have to lay in a fetal position on the floor to cry. You can sit comfortable while crying

A godsend for shaving legs if you're a woman.

Shower sex/ bj throne. Or, you know, a place to put your shampoo bottles or whatever

Looks like a seat/place to put bottles. Can’t see what’s going on there with the missing tile area tho.

That’s where you sit and cry. Either when deeply depressed or coming off alcohol or heroin! I don’t use mine for that anymore. 5 months clean on the 20th! 🥳

Judging by most promoters I’ve talked to, this is a small stage intended for shower party’s. Intended for a small band or DJ.

I have one of those, it's for sitting on and crying, listening to Adele, for best effect I remain fully clothed and rock back and forth. Obviously.

It's where you sit to amplify your shower thoughts.

Piss poor craftsmanship is what it looks like.

That’s where you sit while you watch another man pleasing your wife in the shower. It’s not your fault you can’t please her but at least you found a man who can.
