Shower

Advanced shower controls

shower

After having stored my clothes in a really hi-tech swimming pool locker I tried to take the obligatory shower. There were no visible controls, so I expected the shower to switch on automatically. Nothing happened. When I walked away I found this notice around the corner

sign --touch pink tile--
Want to use the shower? Touch the pink tile.
