[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow I have never even known this was a risk and opened this thread expecting to see people making fun of OP!

I don't feel like I have ever even considered this a factor so I'm sure I've done it. I think I did it yesterday hearing some thunder? Honestly not sure but I must have done it! I doubt I'll be able to incorporate this into my anxiety bucket so will just go on acting like I didn't know this. [/quote]

Well, let me fulfill your expectations!

As a PP pointed out, there are literally dozens, if not hundreds of daily activities that are or dangerous than bathing during a storm.  OP, and people in general, suck at risk assessment.  If you live on a plain in Kansas in a 3 story house with an old style TV antenna, this is a valid concern.  I, and I expect most of the people commenting, live in an area where the trees and other structures are much taller than my house.

Sometimes people suck at risk assessment, but I don't think this is one of those times. The danger is very very slight, but the benefit to bathing at a particular time is essentially nil. It's not like "oh driving to the grocery store is dangerous" which it is, but there's a benefit to getting groceries. I don't dip my dick in fish blood and stick it in the ocean, even though the odds of getting it bitten off by a shark are very low, because there's no reason to do that. [/quote]
