How do people take such LONG showers??

I'm sitting here in my dorm waiting for my roommate to get out of the shower so I can go to class. It's 12:45pm, he went in at 12:10. He said he would be quick, and this is quick for him if he gets back within 5 minutes. But there are so many people who take FOREVER, like my uncle for example.

Notice I'm using guys as examples...

Now lets get on with you ladies. I understand that majority of the time is putting make up on and getting your hair ready, blah blah blah. But still, you take a pretty damn long time in the shower! I was in this girl's apartment that I'm kind of involved with, and she was going to take a shower cause she just got back from the gym. I fell asleep waiting for her! Slept for 40 minutes, and she was still not out.

I get in the shower, wash my hair out with shampoo. Put conditioner in and then wash my body, and wash out the conditioner. Dry myself....done in 10-15 minutes.

well for the girls, it's the shaving that takes so long. if you don't have to shave you can be in and out fairly quickly. the only other thing I could think of that would make a girl longer in the shower is that we have to condition our hair as well as shampoo it. but that only takes like an extra minute. of course, I've never had the patience to wait the full three minutes it says to on the bottle. I also don't really think it's a girl/guy thing. growing up both my mom and I were way faster in the shower than either my dad or my brother (yes, these were the days when whole families had one bathroom!)

which is why I almost never shave anymore- my shower at home does not provide enough warm water to wash, wash hair, and shave. it doesn't even come close to being enough for shaving alone. If I wash my hair incredibly fast, I have time to wash the rest of me. I've got about 4-5 minutes tops in that shower. If you want to cut down on showering time, move to house built in 1900 with pretty much the original bathroom fixture and water heater from, oh, maybe 1940.

I usually shower at the gym.

I will bet anyone that my father takes the quickest shower in the world. I swear he is in and out in just very few mins. I don't remember ever timing him but its dam short. LOL

When he was younger and working he didn't have time to waste he told me. So quick and fast he was and still is pretty much.

Anyway myself I can take long or short showers. Sometimes you deserve a long shower and other times a quick one will do.

Anyway that was just me talking away. lol

Was he in the military? My dad takes uber fast showers, too...and says he learned to wash up quick from his days in the army.

he was spending time with mary palmer and the five sisters



seriously, I have a seat in my shower I like to listen to some quiet music and sit and steam.

They open the curtain or door, turn the water just right and wait till the hot water is done.

I can take either long or short showers. Usually it's short showers during the week because of a lack of time for getting ready for work as I like to sleep until the absolute last possible minute. On the weekends, I take longer showers mainly for the fact that I'm not quite as rushed like during the week. If I've been doing something strenuous like moving furniture, a lot of yard work, etc. I can just sit in a steaming hot shower. That hot water helps make your muscles feel a lot better.

When I was growing up, I hated taking showers...well, hated bathing to be more exact...and I used to take the fastest showers ever. My dad would joke that he and my mom should call the Guiness World Records people and see if I could break any kind of record. He would also joke that it was a wonder that I got clean with as quick as I showered.

Best reply, ever!
If no hair is being washed or shaved, I take about five minutes and I'm a girl. If hair, then about ten, if both of the others, then I'm about fifteen or twenty minutes. But I don't wear make-up and I shower at night, so that might explain some of the quickness in my shower routine.

hehe it's true though! If I take a five minute shower, I can feel all the spots that the soap missed.
