Apparently my shower was designed by a manlet (or a woman.. same thing basically) because my chin is basically level with the shower head which makes it difficult to wash my hair without bending backwards or crouching down :|

^ thats me in the shower

Does ATOT have a good way to fix this problem?

I was thinking of getting one of these shower heads, it looks like it swivels around 360 degrees.

Install handheld shower head on hose. It adds another 4-inches or so to the height, and it makes things easier when cleaning the shower.

Or the thing that you're linking... that'll work.

I'm at least above average in every category, including height :colbert: If I was average I wouldn't be having shower problems.

I have the same problem. When we bought our house I made sure the shower head in the master bathroom was high enough for me so that I didn't have to crouch down to get my head under the water. Still, it is easy enough to fix.

BTW-Nice sketch. :thumbsup: LOL

I'm assuming you photoshopped your boyfriend's drawing out of that pic. Otherwise, I'm not sure whose black cock is pressing up against you.

Either that, or you tend to shower with an abnormally large glock, which raises entirely new issues.

there are shower extenders that you pick up at almost any decent-sized hardware store. Super easy to install--even for your half-man self.

You can also try replacing your shower head with one of those detachable hand-held ones, as they often sit on a clip and extend upwards, giving about 5 or more inches in height. (this is what Mosh ninja posted while I was typing)

In our current apartment, the shower head was designed the same as yours. I have an extender, but don't need to use it because the hand-held gives enough height on its own.

Any "full-sized man" would have already installed something like this:

Or this:

Since the OP hasn't yet done this, the logical conclusions are that either he's not really a full-sized man...or that he's a she.

Solution: move out of mommy and daddy's house.

Loser.

Edit: And get a hair cut, you damn hippie!

Edit2: Fapping to the thought of schneiderguy in the shower doesn't make me gay, does it?

Adjustable shower arms can be had for around 20 bucks, maybe even less ...
my house has 2 bathrooms, both have midget style showers (upstairs is shower/tub ... where it was about 5 and 1/2 feet high, I stuck an adjustable arm on it.
Basement is just a dedicated shower stall, it was about 6 feet tall, I stuck a splitter with handheld and shower head on it .... I usually shower downstairs because I like the basement, darker, cooler, quieter, and my home theater is right there next to the basement bedroom ...

Remember women aren't looking for solutions, they just want a sympathetic ear to listen to their problems without being judgmental.

If you can't find the commercial "S" extender, build one from galvanized pipe and fittings.

4" nipple into the wall
90° fitting
n" length of pipe to get the new height of the shower arm
90° fitting
Thread shower arm into upper 90° fitting

Be sure to get pipe dope and Teflon tape for the galv threads. Teflon tape works, but it might not be enough.

I'm 6'6" and have my version of this in place for almost twenty years.

That's man's work...the OP would need to find a man to do that for him.

I think you may need to get that looked at by a doctor. If your dick is turning black its probably dying... Maybe it is true that if you don't use it, you lose it.. :hmm:
