loose towel rackweak shower pressure
I was REALLY frustrated that the towel rack in the bathroom was loose. It wobbled every time I touched it, and I was afraid it would fall off the wall. the shower pressure was a little WEAK. It made rinsing shampoo out of my hair more difficult than it needed to be.
