Shower limiting technology: Will teens hate parents?
Hey, parents! Want to really mess with your kids? Put one of these in the shower. The Shower Manager!
It’s a gadget that limits the amount of time for a shower. You can set it to 5, 8 or 11 minutes. When the time limit is reached, the water pressure is cut by 2/3rds to a dribble. It’s enough for rinsing, but nevertheless cruel, if you ask me.
Just try to install one of these, parents, and tell me that your family will not be ripped apart from the stress.
The product, made by Global Network Solutions in Colorado, costs $114.95 and the product’s Web site (which, charitably, could be said to have Web graphics imported from the year 1996) touts water conservation as a major reason a family would want to invest in this emerging hydration-limiting technology.
The press release, by the way, misspells the Web site several times as “ShowerManger.com.” I would hope that the Shower Manger is a whole other product, soon to be available for your livestock showering needs.
And because I would feel bad if that was all I brought you today, here’s a funny Mr. T video!
