During a visit to Houston last week, I found the sign above in my hotel shower, and was so enthralled that I took a picture. If you can’t read it, I’ve re-typed the text below.

One of your Heavenly Shower heads has been turned off in an effort to minimize water usage and protect one of our most precious natural resources.
To experience the most out of your Heavenly Shower, you can turn the second shower head on by pushing the small button behind the lower head.

I’m imagining the conversation that must have led to this sign being installed. In my head, it goes something like this:
Executive: A lot of hotels are doing green stuff. We need to show customers we’re green, too. Tell them we’re all about saving water.
Writer: Okay.
Executive: Except, we’ve spent a lot of money promoting this feature that uses a ton of water. I mean, we named it after the place you go to spend eternity with God. So we want to keep people excited about that, too.
Writer: Okay. Good. Um. I think they might be mutually exclusive.
Executive: And?
Writer: To be clear, our message is “Please don’t use this amazing service we have, but if you do, it’s oh-my-goodness so amazing.”
Executive: I think “being clear” is something we want to avoid.
Overanalyzing, I know. Rant over. Logical issues aside, it was a very nice hotel!

Woohoo, Houston! Boo on 2 shower heads. 1 does the job.
You would really think so, wouldn’t you?
Lol that’s a very. . . interesting hotel. Kind of an epic fail, and maybe the hotel might want someone who is a bit smarter to start making signs?
I’ve actually seen the same sign at other hotels in the same chain. Guessing it’s a nationwide thing…
