I don't think you're weird per se but your husband is showering better. Especially with the feet. Gross. Wash your feet.

Yes, if the plate just has some dry crumbs on it and isn’t really dirty. I might not even use soap. Gasp!

If it was just something like dry crumbs I don’t even wash it at all. I just brush the crumbs off with a dish towel and put the plate back in the cabinet to use a second time.


See? I care more about the planet than everyone else

DP. I am not a dish. People aren't eating from my body.

I mean, on special occasions, that kind of thing can be fun.

Op, your DH is showering right. You people who just rinse are probably the stinky ones in public that don’t realize how bad they smell.

10 minutes in the shower is a a slap in the face of everyone struggling to meet their water needs. Holy cow.

That's dumb. I'm not taking water away from people in Africa or wherever when I take a long shower. Water scarcity isn't really a thing for those of us living east of the Mississippi.

It's selfish is all.

Last time I checked, the water supply in Arlington is in no way attached to the water supply of any city in Mississippi. And Jackson Mississippi isn't suffering from a water shortage, it's suffering from government mismanagement of its infrastructure. My taking a long shower makes no difference to their situation.

Still wasteful.

We don't live on a submarine, either. Your dad's experience as a submariner isn't relevant to those of us living in areas where there's plenty of water (and sometimes too much, when we get flooding).

The water you use to shower isn't "wasted". It's treated and goes back into the water supply.

You're really justifying your 10 minute shower. Why?

I'm not trying to justify it (my showers tend to be at least 15 minutes), because I don't feel bad about taking a long, hot shower in the morning and one at night.

I just find it strange that some people think you can "waste" water when you live somewhere like the east coast of the US, where water shortages aren't an issue.

A half hour a day of scrubbing and Lady MacBeth still doesn't feel clean!

Doesn’t everyone?

Eww no. I don’t. My kids bathe in that same tub that the shower I use is over.

As if your kids aren't peeing in the tub.

Um no they do not. They pee in the toilet right before getting in the tub.

+1. Y’all are nasty if you pee in the shower and if you allow your kids to pee in the tub.

When surveyed, a small majority of Americans admit peeing in the shower. Most of the rest are probably lying about it.

Not sure why you'd be grossed out about someone peeing down a drain.

Since when is a drain a toilet? Do you pee in the sink too?

Not since college, no.

Toilets aren't anything more than a drain with a gravity-assisted water supply to rinse the drain. When you're running your shower, peeing into the drain is really no different. Nobody is peeing all over their shower, they're peeing down the shower drain, and the water from the shower rinses the pee away.

Ok so let’s just say you are about to take a bath. Would you be cool that someone else had just peed in the same tub you’re about to sit in? Even though yes it washes down..I wouldn’t want to sit in a tub someone peed in.

Yeah I wouldn’t care. The pee is down the drain and can’t hurt me. It’s no different than a tub someone hadn’t just peed in.

You’re gross.

Oooh, burn

Not trying to burn you just actually grossed out by the people on here who think peeing in the shower/tub is NBD.

It is, factually, no big deal. It’s 100% harmless and the urine is immediately down the drain leaving no trace that it had been peed in at all. No grosser than anything else that comes off your body and down the drain. It doesn’t bother you that those bacteria and fecal matter touched the tub before being washed away so urine shouldn’t either. But everyone has their little neuroses that don’t make sense, so I get it.

NP.

To be fair, urine is sterile. So there’s that.

at least from a healthy person.

It is not.

So my flossing back and forth between my legs with a towel is not something you would do?

You literally never leave DC? Well, that explains everything.

I used to shower like you OP, and then I realized I wasn't getting clean enough, especially when I sweated. My dh even pointed out about foot odor, so I started washing with a washcloth like your dh does.

So now I shower like your dh. I don't really think my parents taught me how to be clean enough for a woman who sweats as much as I do.

[Anonymous]

Sometimes we think the good fragrance of the body soap makes us clean when it is really the scrubbing that keeps you clean. Get rid of those dead cells by scrubbing!

No, I travel quite a bit. And if I was somewhere with water restrictions, I'd act appropriately.

But, the fact that, say, Jackson, Mississippi, or parts of California are having issues with their water supply due to things like drought or government incompetence has nothing to do with me taking long showers under my rainfall showerhead.

Not PP but being weirded out that he wipes his body including feet with soap and water lends to the fact that OP isn’t wiping their body with a washcloth with soap and water but letting water run thru their crack essentially.

[Anonymous]

I lather, scrub, shampoo and condition at every shower.

Hope he changes that washcloth often. Read about how much bacteria builds up in scribbies, washcloths etc. They can exacerbate skin conditions. All that over zealous cleaning can actually break down the necessary oils that are part of the important mantle of outer skin.
