At home I can deal with it (and have done). Hotels are a different story and they don’t all have shower heads you can reposition. I’ve even been in ones where the gap between my head and the ceiling would not fit a showerhead between.
Same with sinks and work surfaces. If I control the space you can bet it’s all comfortable for me, but I don’t always had that luxury.
Retro is I find something you are just too young to have have experienced directly. It is your older brother’s cool. Yours is nostalgic; your parent’s, vintage.
