It was common to have at least one clock per room.

Wall-clocks were convenient, cheap, and provided comfort in the form of not needing to wear a watch around the house.

Interesting. I guess maybe in a different geographic location than me since I've never seen the 1 per room thing around here.

living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, garage?

My question is more so around the need for that many clocks. That isn't common where I'm from. Is it normal to have wall clocks in bathrooms?

People keep their bathrooms in weird ways. The most memorable one I saw had side-by-side photos of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and John Paul II, with little votive candles underneath each one.

It's not typical to have them in bathrooms, but I actually do have a clock that requires manual setting in mine. It's a waterproof clock/radio and it's handy to have in there. Can keep track of what time it is while I'm getting ready in the morning.

It's probably more common to have an alarm clock in a bedroom that you can just glance at. It's also a loud backup for early morning flights.

how do you know how long you been shitting?
