Enjoying the warmth mostly

Same vibe:

People who go on beach vacation for a week, what are you doing there? I can undress, have a swim, get sand into my crotch and a sunburn on my shoulder in less than an hour. WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Usually staring blankly at the wall, hoping the shower will somehow rinse some grime off my brain too.

Shooting water from my fingertips like the awesome aqua wizard that I am

Hey you let my poor adhd brain ruminate in scalding hot peace

It's not a fucking speedrun homie. This isn't shower any%. I'm usually listening to music and enjoying the hot water. Plus if it's a wash day, washing and conditioning long hair takes a while.

Its warm and I dissociated.

I can do it in 5 min but why? It’s relaxing. My brain can wander. It’s warm.

Sitting on the floor, letting the hot water pour over my head as sad piano music plays in the background

Debug my code

Plan new code

Like, where else would you do that?

Win imaginary arguments. Make the world a better place. Solve the mystery of life. Achieve ascension, realize perfection demands non-existence, return to my imperfect self. Play with water. The usual.

Generating content for !showerthoughts@lemmy.world , of course.

It takes time to wash and condition long hair especially if even approaching recommended dwell times. Same thing with any medicated shampoo.

Avoiding my responsibilities.

Enjoying one of only two relaxing events in my waking hours (the other being taking a shit on work time)

Contemplating life

Plotting my revenge

Jorkin' it.

i mean, i'm just chillin. it's peaceful there.

Feeling something from the scorching hot water relaxing my muscles of my ever existing pain.
It's a nice break from life.

The 3 S

Shit

Shower

Shave

Washing my hair, shaving my legs and armpits, emptying my menstrual cup (hey, you asked). Shit takes time.

Staring into the void, like I do everywhere else

ITT: People with legitimate reasons for long showers.

Me over here: Just because I want to. It feels good. I'm paying the bill and I'll stay in it as long as I'd like. I think, I daydream, I warm up on cold mornings, I cool off after long hot days, I listen to music or sing along while a warm rain dances its way to the drain. I can, and often do, shower and dress in 10 minutes, but I'm an adult damnit and if have the time and the desire I'm gonna hang out and sway gently while the steam fills the shower.

Fifteen year olds: Masturbating. Lots of masturbating.

What do I do in there?

Usually cry thinking about repeating another day of hectic work only to come home and eat dinner and go to sleep and repeat it all over again. Forever. While my wages have less and less purchasing power.

I don't pay for water in my apartment, nor do I pipes that make noise in the building.

I take long showers

Years ago I had a roommate who took obscenely long showers. One time we were supposed to go food shopping but he wanted a "quick shower" before we went. I watched 2 episodes of narcos on Netflix, got frustrated, went shopping alone, drove to store, and did a week worth of grocery shopping, drove back, brought all groceries to the apartment (third floor), put everything away, waited another 30 minutes and he finally came out of the shower.

I have no idea what he did in there.

Humming the ninth symphony. It's long.

Maybe I will wake up from this strange dream.

My brother in law washed each of his toes individually.

Grooming and cleaning my beard+hair takes about 20 min. The rest takes 5-10 min.

Spacing out, probably

I plot my revenge on the people who slight me.

15' here but in my defense, long hair needs extra care.

I have OCD. I wash everything too much.

People who spend less time in there: what are you doing outside the shower that takes so long?
