The videomaker stuck out the top of the shower “like Augustus Gloop in the chocolate pipe”, as one commentator observed.
The Oompa Loompa-sized bathroom fittings were compared to playthings or a standup glass sarcophagus.
“If there’s a drain in the bathroom floor, I’m showering outside that coffin,” wrote another comment.
TikToker Kane Hinge, who describes himself as a “big friendly ginger”, shares travel videos to an audience of over 625,000 followers.
The video was in response to a trend of “plus-size” travellers shaming the inadequate bathrooms in hotel and BnB rentals.
@curvysam Plus size travel probs Imagine paying $250+ a night for a tiny basic hotel and not being able to fit into the shower….luckily I could JUST get in. I’m fully able bodied and would never book the accessible 🦽 room. And researching to see if I can fit into a shower is not something I’ve ever had thought of doing. Just sharing my journey of my plus size life. So no need to come at me about complaining or my body size. I’m aware I’m fat (I do have eyes) #plussizetravel #plussizethings #sydneyhotel #hotelstory

One Aussie content creator who posts video to her CurvySam channel recently claimed she could hardly squeeze into one Sydney hotel shower cubicle.
“I can barely fit into the shower [and] I’m a size 20,” she said.
Judging from the comments, it’s not only TikTokers who have noticed the bizarre trend of shrinking wash facilities.
“I had a sitch like that, we had to switch rooms cause I could barely open the door and also get to the loo past the sink. It was messed up,” said one.
“I stayed at a hotel once that had a shower over bath, with fixed glass that left a super small gap at the sloped end of the bath … I could maybe squeeze in, but was not risking injuring myself. So ridiculous,” said another.
