quote; For blow drying your hair while you shower. It's a real timesaver!
True, and also less messy than throwing the blowdryer into the tub while your wife is bathing. As one person complained, "I hate GFCIs because they always trip when I am blowdrying my hair in the tub, then I have to get out and reset it". I guess he never considered putting the outlet IN the tub like this shower has one. But, since this is Central America, maybe it is a "population control" device used in place of birth control to limit the population growth.
