Lol, wasn’t this the bathroom setup in the movie Parasite as well?

Yep, basement apartment and sewers high enough that it would otherwise require a pump when flushing.

That was the first thought that came to mind

Mobile reception must be good there.

It's one thing to find there's no loo-roll left, it's another to have to go downstairs to get a new one

I like the pull up bar above the toilet. Gotta get your workout where you can!

Looks like it’s a concrete floor and they didn’t want to cut it up to install a proper drain, so this was the solution they came up with.

As a former contractor, I’ve seen a lot worse ideas.

It's even possible this wasn't about cutting up the floor. If this is a basement apartment, that sink's drain might be the lowest point in the house that drains with gravity. If they wanted it any lower, it might've needed a pump, which is a lot of extra expense and annoyance.

The toilet has clearly been brought up level with where we would expect the sink's p-trap to be. It's clearly been raised enough to tie in.

I mean, that's pretty dope. But I'm fully abled. Gotta suck for anybody who has limited mobility.

It's a basement apartment. They need the height to make the drainage work.

Spot on, I'm a real estate agent and you wouldn't believe some of the things you see.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Good so when it over flows it can drain in the sink. Perfect.

It's already weird but why didn't they leave enough room for their feet? Do they straddle the toilet?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This looks like it had 80's shag carpet on the floor at some point in time, probably the 80's.

This must be where king of the skibidi toilets lies …

A nightmare for handicapped people.
