[quote=Anonymous][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]

Well that escalated quickly. It is far more like going to the grocery store than chumming the water with your junk is hahahaha.

Who can go through life worried about all these inane things? I worry about like, actual risks. But you know I agree with you about that being a way to really go out of your way to put the most precious part of you at risk for virtually no reward. [/quote]
