Electric Shower
This image was lifted from another website ( www.electrical-contractor.net), but is obviously too good to not post here too.
If I had to guess, the shower was put in after the service was done. But who in their right mind would install a shower head next to the panels? I mean, come on! Before I was a trained electrical technician I knew that water and electricity do not mix. So what's up with this???

I don't think that's a panel. It's one of those new-fangled FPE soad dishes.

Maybe the owner was suicidal and couldn't get up the courage to pull the hairdryer in with him?

Just a Chemistry lesson: Water DOES NOT conduct Electricity. H2O that is.
But that is a ridiculous place for a shower.

WOW!
really makes you think WTH were ppl thinking!? lmao
I once saw a panel, the last HO from my customer removed the guts and bolted it to a concrete wall and then custom made the rest out of wood.
The cover, the tops (complete with rx connectors), the sides, bottom and door were all made of wood. Just to match his finished basement lol
The grounds were all tied together under a lug as were the neutrals. 
Never ceases to amaze me the lengths (or depths lol) ppl will go to make something "purdy" no matter how dangerous it is.

Hey, I don't see any vapor barrier in the wall! That wall is gonna rot out!
On the other hand it could be the guest bathroom for the "in laws"

You folks can't see the forest for the trees.
This is not an electrical panel in a shower. Don't you recognize a fire suppression (sprinkler) system when you see one!?

Well, at least the glass on the fuses are clean so you can see if they are blown or not. I wonder if the shower head is grounded?
