We have to face the reality that we live in a crisis, which is reflected in the real estate industry. Houses, apartments, and other properties are getting smaller and smaller and are not very affordable. The worst thing is that, on many occasions, the designs of the properties become ridiculously tiny, reminding us of the micro spaces that are more commonly associated with big, populated cities like Tokyo. For example, this woman on TikTok brags about having the smallest bathroom in all of NYC. The woman is so confident that she has the tiniest bathroom that she even challenges other users to find a smaller one.
On TikTok, bananabonani gained a lot of views on her profile for making a video of her complaining about her bathroom. Also, the girl starts by saying that her bathroom is the smallest in NYC and challenges other users to show their smaller bathrooms if they can. She continues with a mini tour of the bathroom, which indeed looks small. Then she continued showing her shower curtain and more of the space. Until now, I thought the complaint was about bananabonani barely fitting between the toilet and shower area. But then she showed that her toilet is one of those models you see in tiny homes videos in Japan, a model with a sink on top of the toilet.
That’s not the worst of it. Usually, these toilets use the water from the sink that you use to wash your hands after going to the bathroom to fill the water tank. The difference of this particular toilet is that every time bananabonani pulls the toilet lever, it activates the water from the sink, and there is no option to avoid it. This is one of the main reasons the girl wants to move out of that apartment and what made many people want to help her move out soon.
Many other users agreed that living with a bathroom like that would instantly make them cry just looking at it.
I admire how much you put up with bananabonani; it would be impossible for me to go to the bathroom in peace if the water constantly turned on and soaked my back. I hope this girl can leave that place soon and get a better toilet.
