Shower Curtains

For the past five years I've lived in apartments with showers with solid sliding walls, not shower curtains. My grandma was right, those sliding doors are a pain to clean, but they do have an upside. There is no shower curtain to stick onto you during your shower.

So I've developed a bit of a phobia of shower curtains. I don't like how they get kind of mildew-y and gross at the bottom, even if you do keep them stretched out all the time. I don't like how, once they get some mildew and come forward due to that hot air/cold air physics thing I don't understand, they stick to you.

Luckily, we live in the time of cheap shower curtains. Though wasteful, it is possible to buy something for a few dollars, hang it up for awhile and throw it out when it starts getting gross. However, I wanted a nice shower curtain to go in front of the cheap one and I didn't want to hang them together, because I would have to undo the nice one and the cheap one and then reload the new cheap one with the nice one and I didn't really see that happening as often as I wanted it to.

So I solved that problem. Here is my nice shower curtain:

And behind the nice shower curtain is another curtain rod with the cheap curtain. If I want to wash or clean it, I just have to undo one shower curtain. The result is that the cheap one has already been washed and my phobia is under control.

Such a modern world we live in.
