Why is the Shower Always Broken?

[PatMacGroin]

I'm generally happy to take a quick shower at the start of a booking. Especially if I've just been traveling on a crowded, sweaty, summer tube. But I reckon 99% of In-Call locations I have visited had a shower that was broken in atleast one of the following ways:

1) Shower head rail is broken. Either the rail is missing altogether it's impossible to attach the hose so the head sprays in one fixed direction.

2) The Shower head itself is broken. The water either jets out in every direction at once, or its no different from using a hose in the back garden.

3) The actual taps are broken, or even missing. They come away in your hand, and now you can't turn the water back off again. (I've even had a prossie give me a pair of pliers as I head to the shower saying, "you'll need these". What The Fuck For?  ).

4) There's no water pressure. You spend ages fiddling with the taps thinking there must be more than this dribble.

5) There's no hot water. As above but instead you freeze your bollocks while trying to figure out which is the hot tap.

6) The shower/curtain is broken or missing. You finish wrestling with the possessed shower head to find that the bathroom is soaked. Giving her an excuse to get moody and start bitching about it.


Initially I thought this must be a time wasting ploy, especially by the girls that demand you take a shower. But it's got to be more annoying for them, especially as you'd expect them to be using the things more often than anyone else. And I've even had it with girls that haven't been at all clock watchers.

Anyone else noticed the same thing? Or is it just me?

Or there is no fucking shower at all.

7) The waters so fucking hot you burn your bollocks trying to use it. And no amount of fiddling with the controls will reduce the temperature from boiling.

Maybe it's a TW tactic?

Thank God someone else has this problem,I thought it was just me.

Rare this has happened to me.

One time there was no hot water apparently, another time the shower holder was broken but still had a shower.

[nigel4498]

I've been punting on and off since 1994, must have been to hundreds of places and never had any problems with showers.
If anything it's me trying to figure out how some of them work 

[thor555]

yup happened lots to me
Tap replaced with industrial tap like you are about to start up some sort of heavy machinery
shower head missing altogether just a pipe
No light in the shower room so had to use my phone to light it up
An Insect running around 

These are £80for 30min punts i would expect better

To be fair had some extremely nice ones too
Walk in shower
Fully renovated bathroom

Mixed bag really for me

 

[Bobbaloo]

Probably because it's being used dozens of times a day, every day!

A lady sees 8 punters a day, that's 8 showers right there, and that's assuming they're only taking one after. Maybe some are taking a shower before as well. Then the lady herself is (hopefully) taking showers in between punts.

All that surely doesn't help. Thinking about all this, I wonder what the average WG's water bill is!

[paper7]

If they've anything about them then they're not on a water meter or Smartmeter!

[LM19]

These girls are in and out of houses like no one's business. Either those are the most flexible tenancy contracts I've ever seen, or the 'landlord' doesn't maintain the property and gets a kickback. I doubt it's their priority to go in and pay for a new shower.

[bukowski]

the reason the showers are shitty is that the person you are seeing is slack

i'm no genius but i'm never surprised that a hooker would have low standards in anything

in most cases
it's the nature of the business and the nature of someone who chooses to suck cocks for money


my biggest bug bear, for what it's worth is the condition of the the towels

even the ones that look clean are probably a hell-hole of spunk munching bacteria

happy punting lads!!

Only ever had it be a problem when booking pump and dumps in the past. Since preferring GFE its never been an issue, quite the opposite really with nice towels and stuff.

[Jimmyredcab]

I shower before I leave home --------------- problem solved.   

[jlike]

Generally never had a problem, it always amazes me the number of wg's that have a top of the range Mira shower, perhaps it is housing association houses.
I booked one of my regs a couple of years ago and as it was a hot day and the appointment wasn't until lunchtime I said could I have a shower when I arrived. When I got there she said she had run a bath for me. Funny how you could not see the bottom of the bath through the water, it transpired it was the same bath water she had jumped out of a few minutes earlier. I am all for saving resources and recycling but WTF, that is possibly one step too far.

[GreyDave]

  I for my living work for a refit company that does up and prepares flats houses for rent/sale.
The reason the shower and other things are never fixed is that when the office guy/gal appears and looks around the know the signs of a Working girls flat and the working girls know they know
Once you know or think you know or they think you know that they know...You know
And the agent landlord can and have been charged by police (has happened with firm I work with when neighbours complained as men knocked by mistake at door too often) So now you know why some flats are shite its the fact the girls don't want vist`s from agent landlord or trades men when punters at 120 hr could be shagging 

[amanhasnoname]

If the shower is broke it means she probably hasn't used it either  I'll pass thanks

[shagmore]

Thats the advantage off see the prossie in a hotel, you know the showers will work, and the towels are fresh - well if you are the first appointment anyway

 

[PatMacGroin]

To be fair. When there is a problem, 9 times out of 10 it's simply the grip on the rail that is loose and wont support the weight of the shower head. I just find that irritating.

But we wouldn't be visiting them if their specialist skills were DIY. 

I had half a suspicion that there might be some punting trades men out there putting the showers out of action on purpose. So that they could offer to return with their tools another time and offer to fix it for them, payment in kind. 

I was wondering if anyone would own up. And confirm if that works for them! 

[Happyjose]

Or you're about to jump in, take a look at the towel, and think fuck it, I'll wait

I always take a small adjustable tool with me on every punt

No but you have given me a great idea 

[vw]

Keep mentioning these things on reviews all good stuff then punters who like to or need to shower at bookings can make an informed decision.

That's all well and good till you get the one that demands a shower be taken.

Really?  Considering how often "the landlord" is visiting their properties unexpectedly, delaying my booking.   

[Pussydoc]

I always ask the girl to set the shower for me saves getting all those problems ,, she should  know. ..

[bob1]

Surely the main concern is the bloody lack of any shower gel. Ive used panten shampoo, ive used condtioner, ive used bubble bath, ive used soap off the sink, theres probably other stuff ive used as well. Body wash can be bought for £1 no excuses really.

This. A recent punt, there was almost no room left in the bathroom for an actual person due the sheer amount of bottles. Not a single body wash among 'em, I probably wasted half the session trying to find something half decent.  Ended up opting for bubble bath.

Or if they do have any, its the most ridiculously smelly shit you can find whichsmells the complete opposite of your home one!

Back on showers - there are a group of flats in the same building in earls court where you never get hot water in the shower. Guessing thats a sergei tactic to maximise profit.

After one to many drives home becoming more and more conscious of the smell of the shower gel I have just used  I've started taken a small bottle of my regular shampoo. Makes for a much more relaxed trip home. 

[paper7]

I'd say the solution to this one would be to take your own shower gel, after all, you don't want 'er indoors to smell a rat by getting a whiff of unfamiliar female shower gel do you?!

Yep - pain in the arse though. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the days when the good thai WGs used to have a selection of shower gels to choose from!

Trouble is I don't fancy smelling like I 'bat for the other side.'

[fredpunter]

I've long thought they should provide at least one bottle of completely unscented soap/gel/shampoo ... easily obtainable these days

Your point makes a massive amount of sense. Should punters suggest it to WGs?
