I'll say it, I just find taking showers extremely inconvenient

There is no way. My hair looks horrible and greasy if I don't wash it every day and if I'm washing my hair, might as well do the rest.

Real talk, hot showers are the greatest. They just feel good. I feel good getting ready for the shower, I feel good showering, and I feel good immediately after. Seriously, showering's the best. I spend like, 20-25 minutes showering a day (I brush my teeth while showering too). It's where I just relax and contemplate life.
I just wish I could justify showering more often.
OP, not only are you a crazy person, but you're also dirty. You should probably shower.

Some of us have to wait until the hot water gets to the shower.

Also, quick question:
Is it a general consensus that taking baths is gross?
I love taking baths, but everyone I know says it's disgusting and they foster bacteria and basically it's like you soaking in your own dirt. Does anyone else feel this way or feel differently?

Finally i now understand what's going on in the head of smelly people.

If you're going to take a nice bath then shower first. I mean, you shower before you get in the swimming pool, right?

20 minute process? Gee, try camping in the outdoors and you'll find that lots of washing and cleaning is very possible within 3 minutes. I get dirty all the time with work and outdoor activities so it makes for good practice to take quick showers while maintaining cleanliness.
I sincerely hope that nobody is leaving the shower running for 20 minutes. With an average flow of water of around 2 gallons per minute, a 20 minute shower can be upwards of 40 gallons - which is surely a waste just to clean your body.
Also, I was born in a very poor country in which the infrastructure only allowed a tiny stream out of the faucet which we would collect in a 2 or 3 gallon bucket. That would be enough to wet yourself and rinse. The actual soaping and cleaning doesn't require any water at all.
One last thing - I think people appear more sociable when they don't smell awful.

Yeah, that comes from showering TOO much. It's bad for your skin, your hair and your health.
It's greasy because you wash it every day (with I suppose some shampoo/conditionner thrown in).
You're removing your natural hair oil and your scalp over produces it making it greasy in a mater of hours (and probably itchy too).

Idk OP
I can get in, out,and dressed in under 7 minutes, it doesn't really take that long.
I agree that it's inconvenient to have to shower though. I generally do it every other day.

I need to quickly go through my mental prep beforehand. Do I shampoo my hair today? Is it deep conditioner day? Are my legs starting to not be smooth? Which body wash should I use today? Etc. Not hard questions, but I take a shower first thing in the morning. I may love mornings, but I have to start somewhere!
This is why I despise camping. Well... for a lot of other reasons too.
And yeah, it's all possible if I go 100 miles an hour. But why would I want to? I like taking my time, making sure I go through all of my steps in a calm and efficient fashion. It's more fun that way too!
Every day I go for a swim in the ocean then come home and have a cold shower. The fucking best.
P.S If you don't shower daily and don't use deodorant etc and somehow think you don't smell, everyone you work with talks about you behind your back about how you smell like arse.
I've actually had to write out "toolboxes"(a construction industry official paperwork thing which is basically a definition of the issue, who it involves, action to be taken, and action that will happen if it's not followed through) for two people for their lack of personal hygiene because they stunk so bad. It tends to not go down so well...but if you have no respect for people who have to work with your stinky arse everyday then fuck you.

I turn on the tap and close the door while I'm getting my shaving stuff out of the cabinet under the basin. By then the water has warmed up. After my shower I put on a bathrobe and have a shave. Once that's done and I've put stuff away, I'm mostly dry except my legs. Bathrobe also keeps me warm.
The only inconvenience is cleaning down the shower but that isn't too bad. We have very hard water so we wipe down the chrome with a cloth every time.

ITT OP stinks of shit but can't smell it himself. Showering is great, sure i'd rather not have to bother but once I get in it's amazing. Mint and green tea shower gel is life.

Plus you can use the time thinking about really important stuff, for example why some people dont enjoy showers...
Showers are damn relaxing if you let them be. I shower atleast once a day, after a shower Im never freezing but Im rather relaxed and refreshed.

"One of those people," meaning like 99% of towel-using people on earth?
Also, I'm amazed that some of you people can get dressed in the morning and hold down jobs.

Can't say it any simpler. Eat an orange in the shower. It's so good.
Anyway, when I wake up. ALWAYS. I don't see the point showering before bed if you're just gonna get all warm/sweaty during the night.

I just wanted to point out that it only took a sentence after this for the irony to expose itself.

I've met plenty of people who don't think they stink when they've actually just gotten used to their own stench. It's pretty bad.

Pro-tip for 100% of people who think they don't smell: you smell.

As someone who worked in occupational health and was called many times to 'talk' to a smelly co-worker I would suggest you just shower. You're own shit doesn't smell, doesn't mean everyone else can't smell it. Seriously you don't want that conversation with whoever they get to talk to you about it. They're uncomfortable, you're uncomfortable, you'll always wonder if everyone thinks you smell. If your wife thinks you're out of order then I'd suggest you take her advice. You stink of shit, sort it.

I shower every day in the morning before I leave the house, it takes all of 5 minutes to wash my hair, face and body then dry myself.
If I don't shower I feel groggy and tired all day and my hair is matted to my head from the sleeping in a bed all night.
I can understand how people can shower or wash every other day, but to leave it 4 or 5 days is pretty grim.
I have days where I shower 3 times in one day due to going to the gym or playing sports multiple times.

It's such a hassle before I get in but once I'm in the shower I never want to leave <3

What are you doing? I was setting him up for a trap and you just knock the whole thing down. Some people are so inconsiderate.
2 or 3 showers a day, doesn't take more than 3 minutes each.
How can you make your wife endure this is what boggles my mind, especially if she complained about it.
And yeah, people not showering at least one per day, big spoiler : you STINK, and everybody is fucking embarassed in your presence.
