how long do you spend in the shower?

The Bollox

this was inspired by the other showering thread. I think it was done before, if it was it was a long time ago, so anyway. How long do you spend in the shower? is it an in and out job or do you like to stay under the relaxing blast for a while? I personally take a good 10 minutes in the shower, 15 if I'm washing my hair. I reasoned this with my parents by saying I need it to wake me up in the morning, but in reality it probably made me more drowsy

so how about you?

The Walsho

Usually 5-10 mins, would be longer on occasion but generally I'm in a rush so it's a quick one

biko

About 7 minutes, I can listen to 2 whole songs on the stereo while shaving, showering and drying.

Nehpets

Up to half an hour!

Kojak

5-10 minutes at the max

Mr. CooL ICE

5 mins max, assuming it's the time between closing the shower door and opening it to get out.

Turn on nozzle, wet my body, turn off nozzle. Apply shampoo to head (even though I'm a blade 1), armpits, groin and arse. Followed by a rinse, and I'm outta there.

seamus

I've never timed it, but I'd say 10-15 minutes on average.

Add another 10-15 minutes if I need a shave.

Mahatma coat

over half an hour when I wash the hair properly, othewise the 5-10 sometimes dozin under the showerheadfor a bit

Pighead

If Pigheads showering alone: 15 minutes + 18 Minutes for Extras
If Pighead has company: 15 minutes + 40 seconds for Extras.

Extras being a side order of wedges I presume. this begs the question as to what the main course is tho...

surely a man such as pighead never has to shower alone?

Mossy Monk

5-10 minutes mostly.

Kintarō Hattori

Ohh always more than 30 mins, I love showering!!

Even Pighead needs his own space and time sometimes. Also if the chicks are ugly they get booted out first thing in the morning. They don't deserve to share my water.

Ishmael

~5mins to wash and then and extra 1-2 mins of cold water to wake me up.

Cheese Princess

If my shower only involves body washing I can be done in 3 minutes flat.
For the hair washing and conditioning, shaving, exfoliating etc....can take about 20 minutes.
My biggest delay is getting the temperature right....crappy taps :mad:

Ruu_Old

No more than 15 minutes, don't want to end up like a prune.:(

Tar.Aldarion

It's always either 10 mins or over an hour.

Rhyme

If it's before work/college, 5 minutes. Otherwise i take my time... 10 minutes i suppose.

Hail 2 Da Chimp

Usually about 15 mins but most days I shower in the gym so the less time spent in the shower there the better for all concerned...

WindSock

Depends on if I may exfoliate and shave.

JackKelly

until my hands go wrinkley

I feel your pain. In my college house we have a shítty shower, straight from the tap. many times I have given into second nature by flushing the toilet before showering, having to stand there for a good 5 mins before the temprature levels out :mad:

thankfully we have a power shower at home

DonkeyStyle \o/

Depends really... if I've just had a haircut and have a million tiny hairs to rinse out, it may take a while... or if I'm in a hurry to be somewhere, I can be out in a flash.

Black Swan

If I shower with someone, does that mean I have to divide my time by 2 for your poll?

Dimitri

I stay in there until someone starts banging on the door which has been up to 40 mins in the past, usually its my sister wanting me to move my car so she can go to work! At this stage my neighbours are used to seeing me get into my car in a towel so its ok!!

Donald-Duck

I spent 40min today, almost as if I fell asleep and woke back up again . Usually 15min

Red Alert

we've a power shower too and it's temperature stabilised - which is important if you're like me and like the heat up as high as u can stand - i'd get burned otherwise!

Faith

15 to 20 minutes, usually. That's without wasting time either. I have waist lenght hair that requires lots of attention and conditioner.

I'd stay there all day if I wasn't impatient!

over an hour? il spend 10-15 mins in there usually and I thought that was a long time.

little miss

Five to ten minutes usually. Can't see how someone can take half an hour! Unless you're up to something other than getting clean. Now, a bath is a whole different matter. I think its my second favourite place after bed!

Red Alert

i usually am about 15 mins. i do a thorough clean!

Yeah well, I dunno why, I like em I suppose.

luckat

About 10 minutes in a hot shower, then turn it down to tepid and flash from tepid to cold, turning around and shouting.

boneless

I don't hold with men washing at all... bad for you...

Would it not save hassle if you just gave your sister the keys????

Mrs. MacGyver

Ages about half an hour at least. I've my various shower creams and potions and I also have a radio in the shower which i sing along to so the time passes really quickly and befre i know it the 1/2 hour is up!

Doomspell

Normally about 15 minutes, 20 if I'm washing my hair

Garret

Nala

about 15 mins but half an hour if i'm washing my hair. i have very thick hair.

drdre

Usually 5-10 mins sometimes more

Nightwish

10-15 minutes depending on how rushed I am. I love the shower, so when I'm not in a rush (like when I have to go to work) I can stay in it for 20 mins.

Alter-Ego

Usually around 20-30 mins. I like my showers and i have thick, long, 70's rock type hair.

I know someone who can take an hour in the shower.

iFight

2-5, 5-10 if im washing my hair.

county

BrokenArrows

i used to take really long showers before i went to college but my flat mates in college made me change cause i used up all the water. lol.

now usually 10min

Pyr0

More than a half hour anyway !! I have really long curly hair, so that has to be brushed properly then washed, the rest is washing myself. Longer than the average guy I'd say :P
