No but it does sound like that. To clarify. In hotels, the shower stopper is built into the drain so when you pull it up, you give it a half turn for it to stay open. Well as your taking a shower, the water running into the drain will move it not to to mention if you bump it with your feet, it will drop and the tub will start filling. I dont take baths unless R1Crusher, GreenBeen, Kawikid, KTMBrian or WaltherGSP's mom is in the tub with me. And then we always have gen3flygirl making sammiches and scrubbing our backs and private areas.
