Op, are you Dan Harmon?

 

[OléGunner]

OP's struggle is too real

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

I take one shower a day. Nothing more. If I'm exercising. I exercise first then get a shower. I won't shower before exercising. I find it redundant.

 

[marrec]

We all hate bathing ourselves and getting up in the morning, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Yo, I love scrubbing my body clean of impurities.

 

[Bishop89]

"wait to dry " What? It's called a towel.

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

I know I'm not alone.

It's just a big pain in the ass. Get undressed, get cold, wait for water to warm up, wash and enjoy for 5 minutes. Turn off water, be freezing, dry yourself, leave bathroom, be freezing. Wait to dry, get dressed.

A 20 minute process that most people don't even need. I sit at a desk all day and don't sweat at all. My heart rate is not elevated one time. I shower every other day at best.

I'm not a scumbag, I'm just not a stinky person.

FYI I'm married and my wife gives me shit sometimes, but it's not the end of the world. If I was stinky that'd be another problem.

Showering every other day is fine if you don't sweat much; it's the "at best" that's worrisome.

 

[Machina]

 

[Amentallica]

It's not necessary to show often if you don't sweat that much. I'll shower every third or fourth day depending on how my workout goes. I also think it's inconvenient.


You should thank people like my wife and I who shower infrequently. We save a ton on water. So while you're wasting it with your daily shower, we're helping to ensure your children having water when they grow up. You're welcome.

I just saw this. So you'll work out and DEPENDING on how it goes, you may shower on a third or fourth day. So, if you don't work out, so you shower even later?

Man.

 

[toneroni]

You are one lazy dude...

 

[flatearthpandas]

So all you people who shower multiple times a day wash your hair that often too? That is so bad for it.

Do you just not wet your hair? Do you use a shower cap? Are you bald?

I don't think getting your hair wet is bad, it's just shampooing it. Shouldn't be a big deal unless you need to style or straighten every time it gets wet

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

SoCal heatwave. Fuck yeah, I'm taking two quick, cold showers a day.

 

[Currygan]

I've tried not using shampoo when I do multiple showers, but I just can't, feels dirty

 

[MonorailCat]

I hate showering in the cold season.
My bathroom is way too cold because of a undersized heater.

 

[Snkfanatic]

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.

3 Showers a day? Good gracious....

 

[SlickShoes]

Just had my second shower of the day and it's 2pm, feels good.

 

[Mupod]

Showers are the fucking best. Nothing gets my head on straight like a shower. Every time I skip a shower because I'm late for work, I'm all grumpy.

Also, I hate that people in Japan bathe at night instead of in the morning. You stink dude. Showering 16 hours before you go to work has no effect.

My mom does the bath at night thing and washes her hair in the sink in the morning.

But me, you know how some people need coffee in the morning to function? I'm like that with a shower. I have had to skip my morning shower once in the last few years because the water was out in my building and holy fuck I was so miserable that whole day. I get up early every morning just to take an extra long super hot shower.

On the subject of smelly people, you know I never really noticed it being common until I moved to Toronto. I had a couple smelly teachers and there was the smelly kid in 7th grade but it was a rare occurrence to run into someone that clearly didn't bathe regularly. Here? I run into someone almost every day. Yesterday the accounting office smelled like a locker room. The new guy who does SQL or something just walked past as I was writing this and goddamn man.

I used to work with a guy that smelled like wet gym clothes that had been left in a pile for 6 months. Our HR department eventually had to speak to him about personal hygiene.

He was a nice guy, single, lived alone and just had no idea it had got that bad, it's really hard to bring it up without offending the person though.

 

[Ray Wonder]

You're not a person I'd trust if you don't get at least one shower daily at least 90% of the time.

 

[Majanew]

You should shower at least once a day.

At least to wash your ass and genitals. That piss drizzle you're accumulating. Unless you aren't inconvenienced standing there and shaking your dick til you're sure every last drop is out.

I've served aboard navy ships where guys wouldn't shower and living in such tight confines makes that kind of thing near-hazardous. I saw petty officers actually get assigned to force stinkers to take a shower. I don't know how you can let yourself get so smelly as a grown man that another grown man is given a lawful order to stand outside your shower while you clean yourself, but it happens.

 

[Kid Ska]

drink a beer while you shower

it's the best

 

[LeleSocho]

lol a shower a day regardless of what you do is nonsense forget about more than one per day
You know people that shouldn't be trusted? People that don't use bidets, those people are filthy, you really think that a piece of paper is enough to clean that part of your body? Ugh stay away from me.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

I can get away with a day without a shower (and I just rinse my hair) but any more and my hair looks super greasy.

It helps that I have short hair tho.

As for showers, I'm one of the guys that takes like 20 min showers - there's something about warm water against the skin that's ultra relaxing.

I use flushable wet wipes, but that's only when I'm not getting a shower directly after I dump.

So using a bidet to clean my ass is necessary otherwise I should stay away from you. But if I choose to shower to clean myself off entirely, including my ass after using the bathroom, then it's unnecessary.

 

[Magwik]

Wat?

People who shower once a day, before bed or when you wake up?

I shower after I get home from work on work days (Monday-Thursday), then shower in the morning for Friday-Sunday

There are no bidets in Germany. Your turn.

People that don't shower frequently (so at least 6 times a week, once a day) are filthy.

 

[AGITΩ]

And deprive yourself of light. Straight darkness with a hot shower and cold beer. You feel EVERYTHING.

I'm guessing you notice during using the subway lol.

 

[crazygambit]

Do you live in Antarctica?

Do most office workers even have contact with the outside world? Go from your home to you air conditioned car, to your climate controlled office, back to your cool house.

If it wasn't because I live so close to my work, that I walk the 6 minutes it takes me to get there, I would never be outside during the week.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

I mean, it is tedious, but play some music or the radio while you're doing it to give yourself something to enjoy. I actually find it really hard to shower without music now tbh.

 

[hunnies28]

People being lazy for showers, what's next?
I feel like we are slowly regressing to our caveman days.

 

[Lima]

This waiting for hot water shit is so weird to read. Have you guys never heard of continuous flow water heaters? If I turn on hot water it comes out hot instantly. What the fuck.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I'm super late to this thread, but are you Asian?

Gaf thread reference.

 

[marrec]

People being lazy for showers, what's next?
I feel like we are slowly regressing to our caveman days.

We already had a thread on GAF a year ago about people being too lazy to even have sheets on their beds.

I'm guessing like, vacuuming is next.

One is a waste of water while the other is not, if you showered when you woke up and then you have to do your business 2-3 hours after that what do you do? Take another shower? That's dumb.

There are no bidets in Germany. Your turn.

People that don't shower frequently (so at least 6 times a week, once a day) are filthy.

My turn? It's your turn to step your game up

Depending on what you do usually in your day showering 3-4 times a week is enough unless you live in humidity-land with a continuous +30°C.
Of course if you live an active life where your job requires you to move around or sweat a lot and work out daily then sure a shower a day is required but otherwise...

 

[labx]

Actually... This. I do this often. Then I turn in fetal position and start crying because my life sucks. Drunk showers are the best to let the sadness drain away... with you life.

 

[PSYGN]

Deal with it.

What are you saying? Those people smell like shit?

 

[Stereogatari]

I know op's feel. That's why the MGSV Shower cutscene hit close to home. I cry everytim.

Srsly I shower once every 2-3 days. U mad?

 

[Rad-]

I take showers every morning and I do agree about the freezing part. It's not even a room temperature thing. Your body changes temperature when you sleep.

 

[Mudcrab]

Srsly I shower once every 2-3 days. U mad?

Everyone that has to be around your stank ass probably is.

 

[Willectro]

I like to be clean, but I find a morning shower is essential for me to wake up and feel refreshed. I feel bad for OP, showering feels good man.

 

[JBourne]

I find wiping my ass inconvenient and yet I still do it.

Think about how much time you'd save if you just skipped it.

 

[JoeNut]

This is disgusting

 

[Two Words]

Showering every single day is not essential. What is essential is that you shower after taking a shit. If you went a whole day without sweating or shitting, you'd probably be fine tomorrow. You won't be fresh, but you won't reek. If you took a shit, you will smell like ass. There will eventually be a time when at least a little bit of sweat builds around your ass crack and it's game over at that point.

 

[RangerX]

Yeah same OP every two or three days is fine. Some people just don't stink. Its all to do with social norms. There is no health benefit from showering everyday unless you are working in hard labour.

 

[Zantetsuken]

This is one campaign I cannot endorse.

 

[marrec]

You go three days without showering and I guarantee you smell bad. Like, I'd put 1,000 dollars on it right now.

 

[PayOffWizard]
