One of my pet peeves is cold stagnant water and having to touch it.  Ex: you wash your face in the sink and splash water outside the sink, you leave a bowl in the sink full of water (and likely food particles), an ice cube misses your cup and it melts on the floor.  These are all things that annoy me for no rational reason.  So when I got to the hotel in Mabul (in Malaysia), you could imagine my disgust when I saw the bathroom.

While this is a pretty common setup in Asia (no shower stall and the floor is tilted so that all the water collects by the drain), I've managed to avoid staying at places where one much utilize such a bathroom setup on a daily basis.  My aunt's house and the hotels I've stayed in have always had a separate tub so that when you go to the bathroom in the middle of hte night or after a shower, you don't have to step in cold, stagnant water.  Not to mention that since the toilet is right next to the shower, after you shower the toilet seat is all wet and you have to wipe it down.  PLUS, if you have to pee after you shower and are wearing long pants, the bottoms of your pants get wet.  And the only thing worse than stepping in cold stagnant water is having it soak into your clothes.YUCK!
