the great shower drama of 2009

First, I have to start with the fact that I forgot I needed to bring towels (not that they'd fit anyway), and had to beg the landlady to borrow some. The ones they gave me were like Super 8 towels, get the picture? I go to turn on the water, and it comes out of the faucet, nice and slow. I pull the little nobby thing water starts coming out this hand held shower head thing I hadn't noticed. Turn water off. How does this work? I look up and notice another dial with handle behind it and numbers. Ahhh, maybe that controls the shower! But of course, I was only halfway there... Turning nob and handle produces no results. Then I brush against this string hanging from the ceiling. I fearlessly pull that string!! Noise begins eminating from the linen closet... Confused, I have a sit and try to think this out. Maybe the combination of string and top nob will turn on the shower. BREAKTHROUGH!! A steaming rainfall of smell removing liquid fills my bathroom! I've made this pictorial guide for those of you who encounter weird showers in the future.
