Just came back from the can on the 2nd floor and they have a new Toto apparatus installed. The controller for this one (for the bidet, massage, heated seat, etc.) indicates the time. I looked at that time…11:30am…and realized that I never see the time from the can. I not only do not see the time, I don’t think of it and in fact, I think of the bathroom/washroom as a timeless space.
Ok so maybe that doesn’t completely work because over the time the washroom is the room that becomes the most noticeably dirty (to me). It is the blue stripe on the toothbrush or that band on the battery telling you when time is up, something needs to be changed, cleaned, done.
But - we can put clocks in anything computer controlled so why not? It is cheap and it adds an extra function to advertise. But when is time an uninvited guest? Like in the bathroom stall where the time reminds me of the world outside almost like it is a person standing outside the door making sure that I come out in due time.
