My housemate says...

    My housemate says I'm a dirty c*** because sometimes I shower in the evening instead of the morning. He thinks I should re-shower after all I've done is sleep. Am I a filthy individual or is he just strange?

    No, you're a disgusting individual who will die alone in your **** encrusted blankie

    As long as you shower once a day I don't see any issue.

    Me, I have to shower in the morning. I don't really wake up otherwise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,357 ✭✭✭hawkelady


    Get up early tomorrow morning , have a shower and use up all the hot water on the moanie f@%^!!
    That will keep him quiet. Either that or smear excrement in his room !!

    Either one of the above options should work.

    I always shower at night, after I come back from a run. Can't see the difference in showering 8 hours earlier or later. Your housemate is just a bit weird.

    If I've been training in the evening and have a shower afterwards then I'll skip my morning shower. I much prefer a morning shower though, I just don't feel clean going out in the morning without a shower.

    You're walking around all day covered in Funk.
    It's the Funk.

    When I was wee we only had a bath once a week, and I turned out OK.

    I almost always shower in the evening, I have very thick hair and I don't like to blow dry it so it needs about 3 hours to dry completely. I don't know what kind of level of sweating people do while they sleep or how dirty their bedclothes are but if I shower before bed I wake up feeling just as fresh and clean. Unless it's those horrible humid summer days, then I shower in the morning (hair dries in about 30 mins then), even with just a sheet it's disgustingly warm to try and sleep, can feel my hair sticking to me while I lie there, ugh.

    Does he shower morning and evening? Cause otherwise you're both showering once every 24 hours, just at different times, and I don't really see his point?

    Personally I think going to bed without a shower after a full day is gross.

    Also, considering the amount of sweat that comes out of you when you sleep, I would feel a bit rude leaving the house without a shower in the morning. But that's just me. Now if you're one of those people who are too cool to sweat, and dirt doesn't stick to you, well... I'm happy for you...

    No shower before bed = stinking bed surely?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 954 ✭✭✭lahalane


    I cant see any problem with evening showers. Actually wouldnt it be cheaper than using electricity in the morning? I dont fully understand electricity bills tho :-\

    Unscrew the shower head
    Put in an oxtail cube in shower head
    Replace shower head
    Now who's the dirty bastard?

    I said that to my OH there last night and she freaked.

    A bath every Sunday night and watch a bit of ER after, life was good :D

    I can only sleep when I'm cold. Light duvet, fan pointed at me etc... so I don't sweat in my bed (unless there's someone else sharing it.....).

    I exercise in the evening so I normally shower in the evening. Twice a day is a bit overkill, I'm not a swamp monster

    Tin bath in the living room, watching Dallas and scrubbing at the same time. :D

    Simple times.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,126 ✭✭✭seosamh1980


    You're not meant to shower twice a day (even every day can do this), it can result in very dry skin, skin conditions, greasy hair, etc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 811 ✭✭✭canadianwoman


    At least you shower once a day so who cares when you do it.

    Indoor plumbing is a thing now or don't they have that in Ireland? :P

    Most people have electric showers nowadays.

    Personally, I shower in the morning time. If I went to work without a shower, I would be uncomfortable for the day.

    Once in Ontario a man asked me if we had central heating in Ireland. I told him that no, we just snuggled closer to the donkey when we got cold. I think he really believed me.

    I can believe it. People in the US have asked me if we have summer where I live or if it snows all the time because it is Canada.

    you all shower everyday? how dirty can you possibly get on an average day? o.O

    Have it for centuries.

    Spring wells that ran dry a few months of the year were also a thing though, until the mains pisswater came along.

    Once every two days is often sufficient. I'm also a fan of showering in the evening, especially if you have been playing sport of something and have a shower after that, I sure am not getting up and having another one in the morning.

    These threads pop up quite regularly and show that some people are absolutely obsessed with showers, they just don't understand that having a shower in the evening rather than the morning or having a day with no shower does not mean people smell etc, its a total fallacy.

    Yeah when I told people I lived in Canada and loved the summers but hated the winters many refused to believe me when I said it was 30+ degrees for about 3 months. Canada only has Winter Snow and Summer Snow it seems :P

    Anyway, back to crazy over showering people :D

    London this July, I'd often have a shower in the morning and then coming home later... it was that hot and the grime gets everywhere.

    I have a mate who stays sometimes and doesn't use deodrant and doesn't shower every day. I hadn't noticed it until the missus pointed it out. Now she wants me to mention it to him gently when he's next over. That could be awkward...

    Depends on how clean your sheets are.
