I hate taking the time out to do all the self-care things.
Then when I get in the shower I just want to sit down and let the warm water drip down on me.
I am literally on lemmy enjoying sitting in the shower right now. The fun part about being an adult is now only my husband can give me shit. And he doesn’t. \o/
Waterproof phones are nice.
Showers vs rain is a great lesson in consent. I did not consent to be rained on, I do not want to be wet just then so I don’t like it. When I turn on the shower I consent to be rained on, so I like it.
Maybe it’s more about clothes. I wouldn’t want to be clothed while in the shower. I think I’ll try getting naked next time I get caught in the rain 🤔
That’s called “status quo bias” I think
Why do people hate taking showers in the first place? Is this a meme that just gets perpetualized online or do people actually feel that?
I hate them because I work 12 hour shifts and so I have very little time to myself at the end of the day. But what I hate even more is smelling like shit. So I figured out that if I buy a water resistant Bluetooth speaker and listen to podcasts in the shower, suddenly I don’t feel like I’m cutting into my limited freetime as much anymore.
That said, if some technology came out that automatically bathes you while you sleep, I’d be an early adopter.
I also do 12-15hr days. And I’m usually on my feet. So standing up the in shower is a hard concept to accept. I need to get a shower chair.
What I do is lift the curtain and lay the bottom of it across the edge of the tub, then I sit down there. The curtain rod has yet to come crashing down on my head, but you have to be careful not to spill water outside of the tub, because it will pool up behind you and make a big mess if you’re not careful when standing up and putting the curtain back.
Hope I explained this adequately, cause it will save you some money on not getting a chair.
when I was a child and didn’t have to pay bills I would lie in the bathtub with a washcloth over my face to protect my eyes with the drain open and just lay there in the warm shower until i used up all the water in the heater.
It’s such a nice feeling to just lie there and be gently pattered by warm water
Waterboarding yourself for shits and giggles. Remind me not to get on your bad side
As soon as the shower is off: 🥶
I finish off with ice cold water, i never freeze afterwards
Having a cold shower at the end is probably number 1 if I made a list of things I do right in life that most people don’t do. I feel so clean and comfortable for ages afterwards, no matter if I’m in my house or the middle of the forest, summer or winter. Best thing my dad ever taught me. (I mean he’s still alive, so technically ‘best so far’, but I’m not holding my breath).
I used to do that and liked it, but dropped the habit somewhere along the way. It doesn’t even feel that bad after the initial shock passes. It’s even pleasant, and then when you get out, the water is cooler so won’t evaporate as readily, do it’s not just that you’re more used to the cooler temperature, but it also doesn’t get as cold because evaporation takes away more heat than the higher temperature water provides.
Also, use your hands as squeegees before you get out of the shower area and your towels won’t go stinky as quickly (because they dry out quicker due to not needing to absorb as much water).
Never. I go straight under my powerful ceiling fan and dry off.
When I get out of the shower: The dry world is a terrible place but I feel able to take it on and make a difference.
Thank you for your service.
