I mean it's your bathtub to use as you see fit, don't sweat what other people do with it. If you have kids, watch them around it...nobody leaves children unattended in the bathtub anyways; we've all heard too many horror stories. And clearly they can be modified to drain faster, just ask your plumber how.

Never feel silly about what you want in life. You're the one who has to live it.

They're pricey. They're inconvenient. Little kids can drown in them. Moondog Feb 2012 #10
