How we came to have three (well, four) shower heads
Two weeks ago, on a whim, John and I went in search of a new shower head. We decided to splurge a little and go for the 6 inch "rainmaker" shower head. But once we got it home, we were sorely disappointed. So we went back (though we failed to bring the rainmaker with us, hence couldn't return it) and bought a new one. We tried to find the most normal one we could but when we got that one home we found that it had all sorts of whiz-bang features, not one of which really worked. (Let's be fair: yes, we were both able to shower and get clean. But when you spend several Alexander Hamiltons on a shower head, you want something good.) So then we went to Home Depot, at this point spending far too much time on the quest for a shower head. And there we made (I believe) our third and most basic mistake: rather than picking up a simple shower head, we went for the super-nifty one with all kinds of features. And not only did it fail to wow us, it utterly failed to work. Honestly, it spewed water in all directions, none of which landed on the person showering. So then tonight, in a last ditch effort to reclaim our shower, we went to Lowes and bought literally the simplest shower head we could find. And it works beautifully.
Unfortunately, now we have to go back to Lowes and Home Depot with three shower heads and explain how we don't want any of them.
