Lol, wasn’t this the bathroom setup in the movie Parasite as well?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Yep, basement apartment and sewers high enough that it would otherwise require a pump when flushing.

That was the first thought that came to mind

Mobile reception must be good there.

It's one thing to find there's no loo-roll left, it's another to have to go downstairs to get a new one

I mean, that's pretty dope. But I'm fully abled. Gotta suck for anybody who has limited mobility.

Just one sheet left too!

It's already weird but why didn't they leave enough room for their feet? Do they straddle the toilet?

Looks like it’s a concrete floor and they didn’t want to cut it up to install a proper drain, so this was the solution they came up with.

As a former contractor, I’ve seen a lot worse ideas.

It's even possible this wasn't about cutting up the floor. If this is a basement apartment, that sink's drain might be the lowest point in the house that drains with gravity. If they wanted it any lower, it might've needed a pump, which is a lot of extra expense and annoyance.

The toilet has clearly been brought up level with where we would expect the sink's p-trap to be. It's clearly been raised enough to tie in.

It's a basement apartment. They need the height to make the drainage work.

Because it would have been wheel chair accessible. That would have been horrible, so the home owner added this stupidity to make sure no "woke" accessibility devices can use his FREEDOM bathroom.

If this is not in the US then replace the local jargon accordingly.
