My roommate turns the shower off and on two to three times during his morning routine

[BurritoBushido]

He takes such a long time in the morning, I regret any day I don't get there before him. When he's in there I hear the shower go on and off multiple times. What the hell is he doing in there?

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Conserving water, you ungrateful brat. Now, stop using my Axe Body Spray!!!!!

 

[strafer]

Maybe he has OCD?

 

[Irishmantis]

Sounds like me I stay in the shower for far too long.

It's like the ultimate meditation.

Turning tap off and on is weird though

 

[Gattsu25]

People sometimes do that to reduce the smell of odor.

He might have really smelly shits or a smoking habit.

 

[Do Better]

Trying to save the hot water.

 

[oldmario]

mid shower shit?

 

[Weebos]

Why don't you ask him?

 

[BronsonLee]

Whackin it

 

[Doc_Drop]

On and off quickly, or separated by several minutes?

 

[Horns]

Ask him. People are weird.

Navy shower?

 

[Pbae]

He's being a good person man.

Saves water, and money.

He wets himself, then lathers up, and then washes away the wash/soap.

Seems pretty normal.

 

[GavinUK86]

Might be OCD. I've been turning random shit on and off for years.

 

[pantsattack]

Sometimes I run the bath to heat the pipes for hot water at the sink to come faster. Two to three times though, I don't know.

 

[TalonJH]

Ask him. I'm sure it's not too big a deal that he would get offended(assuming you guys are friendly).

 

[ebullientprism]

Offer to shower together to save time?

 

[Braag]

I always turn the tap off when I'm adding shampoo or soap. The I turn it back on to wash it off.

Is that weird?

 

[Daedardus]

Let the water flow over you, turn it off, lather you hair, turn it on, rinse, turn it off, soap yourself, turn it on, rinse. You're clean now.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Saving water.

My gf and I do this on occasion when the hot water's running short.

Edit, also not kidding: sometimes without fail, the urge to take a shit hits me in the middle of a shower. I have to interrupt my shower, hop on the toilet, finish business, and get back to showering again. There have been stretches of days my body waits for me to be in the shower until the ure hits, no matter when in the morning I do it. Irritating.

[Mohonky]

Must be abusing his hagfish in there

 

[bionic77]

My dad used to do this.

As others have said, it is to save water while he lathers himself.

 

[kubev]

Yeah, it sounds like he's just trying to waste less water.

 

[cameron]

Don't ask him. Go through his wallet to find the answer.

[kyoya]

He might be shaving in the shower.

 

[NeonBlack]

Why don't you ask him?

No, we make a thread to ask strangers.

Don't ask him. Go through his wallet to find the answer.

And film it

 

[Hoo-doo]

He lathers up, dude. You don't need the shower running for that.

He's lowering your water/gas bill in doing so.

 

[theWB27]

Whatever happened to talking?

 

[Booker Dewitt]

Masturbate, for noise
Shit, for smell
Wash, for outside

 

[SliceSabre]

Why don't you ask him?

You're no fun.

I'm going to go with this as well

 

[Osahi]

I always turn the tap off when I'm adding shampoo or soap. The I turn it back on to wash it off.

Is that weird?

No, that is the sensible thing to do. Save water and energy

 

[Kayhan]

Don't slip on his goo when you go next.

Never have roommates.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

He's being a good person man.

Saves water, and money.

If he was concerned about saving water and money, he'd be taking shorter showers.

My grandfather did this. Doesn't strike me as all that unusual.

 

[Fritz]

To all you saints: how do you save water by turning the shower off three times?

 

[belushy]

And?

 

[Alter_Fridge]

No, that is the sensible thing to do. Save water and energy

Good on your for saving water but it can't be more than a few seconds worth

 

[xxracerxx]

And?

My reaction as well.

To all you saints: how do you save water by turning the shower off three times?

Is this a serious question?

 

[theWB27]

The water isn't running when you turn it off.

The fact that this is not common astounds me. You can wash your hair or soap up without having the water running.
I understand wanting to keep the water hot if it's cold but if it's not winter, you can withstand.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

They're called "military showers," usually. It's just a practice to conserve water.

My dad made me take them as a kid. We have no military history.

 

[Slayven]

Yeah he might be trying to help OP out

 

[teiresias]

Does the bathroom have a vent fan? If not, there's your answer, both for noise and odor.

 

[TheCochese]

Perfect time for you to check his wallet, TBH.
