Enjoying the warmth mostly
That and it works wonders on my sore muscles
Winning hypothetical arguments
Spotted a fellow neurospicy
Same vibe:
People who go on beach vacation for a week, what are you doing there? I can undress, have a swim, get sand into my crotch and a sunburn on my shoulder in less than an hour. WHAT ARE YOU DOING
At least for me, I’m in the water snorkeling, scuba diving, or boogey boarding
Idk about the people who just simply lounge on the beach though, sounds boring
I keep forgetting that not all beaches are cold and rocky like the ones in my area. This is what going to the beach is like for me, haha.
Basking in the hot water
Warm water feel good
Getting away from all you people that question why I take long showers of course.
Usually staring blankly at the wall, hoping the shower will somehow rinse some grime off my brain too.
I just crank my hog.
Well, that too.
AROOOOOOOO DON’T CLOG THE DRAIN BROTHER!!!
Shooting water from my fingertips like the awesome aqua wizard that I am
I thought I was the only one
Apparently there’s at least 3 of us.
yeah, 4.
Count me in as the fifth
My brothers!
Let’s form a wizard school
Aqua Sorceress checking in.
I’m dissasociating for a bit leave me alone. Also I have exceedingly long and thick curly hair, takes forever to go through my process.
What, is it a fucking race?
A couple minutes while the water heats up to undress and brush tangles outta my hair.
A couple minutes to rub in shampoo, massage into the scalp, and rinse.
A couple minutes to rub in conditioner, brush it through my hair, massage into the scalp, and rinse.
A couple minutes to scrub my body with soap and rinse.
A couple minutes to enjoy the warmth of the water and make sure everything is fully rinsed off.
A couple minutes to rinse stray hairs and soap suds off the shower walls.
A couple minutes to dry off, maybe 4 or 5 if I really wanna get my hair dry.
A couple minutes re-brushing the tangles outta my hair.
A couple minutes putting oil in my beard/hair, then coming/styling my beard/mustache.
A couple minutes brushing my teeth.
A couple minutes putting clothes on.
At minimum it’s a 22-minute affair, but let’s round up to 30 because it’s the first thing in the morning and I’m not moving as fast as I could be yet. What’s the problem with any of the stuff on that list? What am I doing that’s too slow for the 10-minute showerers (whom I never question for taking 10 minute showers, btw)?
rub
scrub
Exactly. Of course I can make myself wet slather some soap on my body. That’s not washing, though. Washing means to scrub until squeaky clean. I have observed people go in the shower stinky and come out only slightly stinky. Why?
Then there’s things like remove hard skin from the feet, cut nails, shave.
Use a fascial scrub on the face.
After the shower applying facial cream and body lotion also takes a little time.
Finally: collect hair from drain, dry off water that sploshed around
ENJOYING A RARE MOMENT OF FEELING GOOD.
I got a heat pump water heater damnit, let me enjoy the fruits of its efficient labor.
Just got a HPWH too - I joked that we should put it in the bathroom and then it basically just recycles my heat in the room for infinite free shower hot water!
It’s not a fucking speedrun homie. This isn’t shower any%. I’m usually listening to music and enjoying the hot water. Plus if it’s a wash day, washing and conditioning long hair takes a while.
Substituting for the warmth of human contact.
I feel seen.
But not touched, same…
The three of you could touch each other? Problem solved!
ITT: People with legitimate reasons for long showers.
Me over here: Just because I want to. It feels good. I’m paying the bill and I’ll stay in it as long as I’d like. I think, I daydream, I warm up on cold mornings, I cool off after long hot days, I listen to music or sing along while a warm rain dances its way to the drain. I can, and often do, shower and dress in 10 minutes, but I’m an adult damnit and if have the time and the desire I’m gonna hang out and sway gently while the steam fills the shower.
Fifteen year olds: Masturbating. Lots of masturbating.
Fifteen year olds: Masturbating. Lots of masturbating.
Also people older than 15. Significantly older. It’s a safe place in there.
Yes. This is me-time in a standing-up bath before or after facing the day as an adult with responsibilities.
Hey you let my poor adhd brain ruminate in scalding hot peace
