how long is your shower?
 

yet another poll spawned in chat


multi choice, public poll

Okay, my question is does it constitue undressing and dressing or does the "shower time" mean the time in running water?

wet time

Hmmm.....maybe I shouldn't answer. Don't want to sound dirty....:3_eyes: .... :lol: Hihi....I'll time myself tomorrow and will answer then! :D Btw, what does "I killed a hobo" really mean???? How does it answer the question?? A person who uses outdated slangs wants to know. :p

too late....now i'm picturing you taking a shower

I hope it's sexy... ;)

3'x4'

Weird, zippy. Slight rectangle? I'd say mine is completely square, 3'x3'.

59 inches.

I gace two answers. At home I bathe, not shower. When i am away in a hotel I usually shower.

I said 7-10 minutes, because it's usually just around 10 minutes. But sometimes, I'm just enjoying myself too much (no, that's not a euphemism) and I'm in there for 15+ minutes. That usually only happens on the weekends though.

I take baths at home. 7-10 minute showers at the gym, up to 20 if I have to wash my hair.

I'm at the 7-10 min. range now that I've got hair to wash and condition. When I was baldy McBaldHead I could take a shower in three minutes.

When i shower, I'm in the 4-7 minute range. When I bathe it's more like 20 mins.

In winter, I shower for ~15 minutes. I love hot water.
In summer, it's maybe 5 minutes.

It depends. On cold mornings I stay in longer. If I shave my legs, that takes longer, too. If I'm really in a hurry, I'd say 5 - 10 minutes.

I answered with Jinx...7-10 unless I need to wash and condition my hair. Sometimes I shave too, but not my legs.

Does jim know you and jinx are in the shower together cruising the Cellar?

4-10 minutes. But I just got in from buying fancy new showerheads, so who knows what might happen to my shower time now :D

Don't move fast anymore. I have a radio in my shower so I tune into some soft rock or whatever tickles my fancy... so to speak. I take my time - no hurry. Sometimes I just stand there and let the hot water sooth me. I use the shower to relax in too.

Sometimes I even have company.

Depends on if there's shaving to do. :D

Your wife I hope.

j/k

I went with a man who did just that thing.

How the heck do you take take a one-minute shower? I sure wish I could do that--more time for sleep.

it's called a Navy shower...

I've been working on getting my shower down to the most limited time. Without shortchanging any particular area.

It helps a lot to have an "illegal" shower head.

I wish I was in a hot shower right now...with massage jets!

I hate my parents' shower.
I wish they didn't have one, so I'd have an excuse to take a bath.
It's a cliched European shower - no pressure at all, and every now and then it decides to change temperature - going from freezing to boiling (not literally) so you have to duck in and out of it mid-range.

Given a better shower I'd probably take longer.
In this one I only do the basics. Having short hair helps.

Of course. I sowed my oats 30 years ago. However, my libido is alive and... working. :)

I use our upstairs shower and it sucks. Grit has clogged the inlet ports on the supply side of the shower valve, and I've tried over the years to take the valve apart, clean it, and put it back. But it drips inside the wall when I put it all back together. Must be a nicked o-ring or something. I think I've written about it before. We've got a plastic bag taped underneath the valve in the wall cavity, directing the drips outside the access panel onto a rag lying on the floor, where they evaporate.

The valve has finally accumulated so much grit that it's making the water do weird harmonic crap that gets the pipes vibrating like a freaking helicopter is about to land on the roof. You can adjust the temperature and try to get the harmonic vibrations to change or temporarily go away, but they always come back. The only temperature settings that don't sound like a helicopter is landing on the roof are scalding hot and too cool.

I broke down this past weekend and ordered a whole new shower valve and assembly from an online plumbing supply place. Maybe this weekend coming up, I will install it. I really hate doing plumbing though.

Everyone else uses the downstairs shower, which is beautiful and just works. I re-did that like 2 years ago.

i love you.

:lol2:

We're going to be doing a bathroom remod, including removing the current 'garden tub' that we never use and replacing it with a nice large shower for two. Two shower heads, independent controls, etc. Apparently they're all the rage these days.

But I'll have to explain it to my mom. :shudder:

Alone, 7-10 minutes. Some mornings, maybe less than 7, I never set a timer.

I have to wash and condition my hair every day. My husband takes longer ones than me, so if I am lucky I get 10-15 before the hot water runs out.

The water heater in our house is great and never seems to run out. 'Cept when my SIL is visiting; she takes 40-minute showers! :eek:

wow...she must be rubbing TWO out in there

:yeldead:

you totally visualized it

Do you have one of those handheld shower massage things? That could do it right there...

Er, OK ;)

Yay! I just fixed the shower. No more plastic bag hanging out of the wall. It just works! Now I need to make an access panel door to cover the hole.

Just like one of them perfeshnals. :thumb2:

Bravo!

you did all that by yourself glatt? soldering and shit?

looks real good! Way to go!

yeah. :) I haven't done a lot of sweating copper, but enough to make joints that don't leak. Even if they do look sloppy with lots of drips.

I put shut off valves in so that next time I can swap out the cartridge much more easily.

good job....my brother is a plumber.....and he's big on shut off valves too.

I take Baths and also love quite warm water!!!!! (104 or a bit higher)

Baths? Rubbing the same water all over that swirled around my dingle berries?
Showers are much shorter now the lathering isn't as much fun.:blush:

Dude111's user title should be "Thread Lazarus"

It's nice he/she is interested enough to dig through the rubble and find the relics of when we was great, before the facefuck defecters took flight.;)

I've saved time on shaving in the shower, but it's been replaced by luxuriously stroking conditioner through my beard.

It's really funny because I've reread some of my posts and have zero recollection of ever having written them. It's sometimes bittersweet when posts by people like Brianna show up.

We need a dwellar to make the cellar grate again!

Did someone take the grate again?!:mad:

Fucking grate thieves, man.

Glatt can cast a grate. :yesnod:

Sure. It'll be the fanciest pewter hate you've ever seen

Just 3D print one!
