Usually this is the space where we belittle all those in industries other than major appliances, those poor "Hardware" souls making the best of their miserable lives selling knobs or handles or cabinet organization racks.  These are lives just barely worth living at all.  We cannot be expected to work up a sud, never mind a lather, of pity for them as we could not for any farm animal.  
Yet not all the "others" on the floor are slow witted grass eaters.  We are threatened by a group or party far more numerous and conniving, the so called "Bath" party.  Appliances are less than 10% of this show, but the Bathists cover well over 70% of the rest, and someday you may warily consider short-cutting through their booths.  Though we attempt to avert both our eyes and our minds from the work done here, even we can be caught in their sticky goo.  With smiles they will strike up a conversation about golf, yet imperceptibly this train veers off the track and
it's too late to jump when he says: "You should see how this power flushing system can handle 3 golf balls".  Our queasy nausea flashes to full blown revulsion.  We feel the need to heave, but of course refuse to give them the pleasure of using one of their porcelain "thrones".  How dare they so soil our game.  
How is it that "Bath" even describes the unspeakable, unprintable horrors of full body personal hygiene, evacuation, and regurgitation that takes place in that tiny airless chamber?  If those walls could speak, certainly they would scream.  
The word "Kitchen", on the other hand does not even begin to explore the sensory pleasures, the aromas, the flavors, the memories and the familial, social and cultural significance of our work.  There is no higher calling.  You may hold your head high, but regrettably, with the numerical superiority of the Bathists, you must also watch your backs.
      
Good luck and travel in pairs
