Do you shower before work?

Crooked Jack · 17-01-2013 10:44AM

I really dont get showering everyday, that's pretty anal to be honest and more than once a day is just OCD.
Nobody needs to shower every day unless they have a physically demanding job.
I shower when I work on the farm, go to the gym or go for a run, so four or five times a week, but if for whatever reason I havent done any of that I'd shower once, maybe twice a week. Gym has been closed all this week and it's been too dark and wet to run so my last shower was on Saturday and I feel fine.

What is with the two showers a day? What in under jaysis are you doing to need to wash yourself that often?
I shower the night before because a) I don't feel yucky in the morning b)I'd rather feel fresh getting into bed, it helps me sleep and c) I can hardly put my clothes on the right way round in the morning.
I think I just value my sleep in the mornings. Ain't nobody got time for that.

No I hate my workmates so I like to smell like ****. I eat as much chili and take protein too. Just so the air is constantly caustic.

SunnyDub1 · 17-01-2013 10:49AM

I shower in the morning before work and in the evening after the gym

maximoose · 17-01-2013 10:52AM

Of course I do, I'm not a gip.

inforfun · 17-01-2013 10:53AM

I rather show up late for work than skip the morning shower.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness you heathens!

Always, even if I shower the night before. You sweat a lot at night. i cycle in so I'm even going to be showering in work too.

Aglomerado · 17-01-2013 10:59AM

Yes, and I wish some of my colleagues would do the same!

17-01-2013 11:01AM

Almost always the night before, hate showering in the morning and its wastes some sleep time. I think some people are over obsessed with showers, its not unknown for me to skip a day completely without a shower as I would almost always not bother having a shower on a day off or Saturday etc if I wasn't really doing much (if I was going on the beer sat night I obviously would).

You know yourself if you're in need of one and sometimes you are still fresh even after not showering for a day depending on what you've been doing.

Jaxxy · 17-01-2013 11:02AM

The night before. Getting out of bed in time is hard enough as it is, and I know if my alarm went off earlier I'd just hit snooze. Also there's something really nice about having a shower and getting into a fresh bed.

Well la-di-da, looky all the rich folk with all the electricity and the water and the time to spare with their daily showers.

An italian shower, ie a top to toe spraying with a can of Lynx, is just as good and if done correctly in a confined space, sets you up with a good buzz for the day.

A buzz? More like a hum I'd imagine.

I'd have a shower in the morning to wake myself up and then one before I go to bed at night to go to bed fresh.

recyclebin · 17-01-2013 11:03AM

I never shower before work. Showering 3 times a week is enough for me.

Do you wear the same underwear and socks two days in a row too?

kylith · 17-01-2013 11:05AM

Every second day. My hair takes ages to dry, and I couldn't go around with a wet head every morning of the week. I don't think it's great for your hair or skin to strip the natural oils every day, either.

Yeah, you're not getting any from me any more you dirty bastard. I was genuinely considering (and looking forward to) the FWBs relationship we talked about but that's definitely not happening now :P.

I prefer showering the night before. It's always how it was done in our house growing up. It's not like you're going to wake up sweaty and stinky!

You must not suffer from night terrors

It's Friday? No shower in a week? Christ man you might be fine, but have you asked anyone around you who's still conscious if they're ok?

Always shower in the morning, don't get this showering before bed and then waking up after sweating under a duvet for the previous 5 or 6 hours. Not a great way to start the day. Nothing like a dump, followed by a shower, followed by a strong coffee to start off the day.

anncoates · 17-01-2013 11:20AM

Generally shower the night before to get a bit more time in bed.

If you're sweating heavily in b ed, get lighter bed covers or turn off the heating.

There are showers in work anyway and I have stuff there so I often have a quick shower at lunch especially during the summer.

Medusa22 · 17-01-2013 11:23AM

I shower every second day, it takes me long enough to shower, dry my hair and all that crap. I'm not wasting time with that every day. I'll have a body wash in the shower more often if I feel smelly or have been doing something active.

Notorioux · 17-01-2013 11:25AM

Just the body the night before then hair, face, teeth and shave before work.

Yes shower every day regardless of work or not.
My housemate showers the night before, never understood this, I'd feel horrible and sticky all day.

I'm a night before man myself - i really dislike early morning showers. I basically get out of bed, get dressed, brush my teeth and go to work - no brekkie, no cups of tea none of that malarky. Up and out!

17-01-2013 11:27AM

Do people put on clothes that they were already wearing after showering? Otherwise I can't imagine having much free time with 21 showers and 15 loads of laundry to do every week.

Agueroooo · 17-01-2013 11:29AM

I probably wouldn't be able to leave the house for work in the mornings if I didn't shower and shave.
I honestly cant remember the last time I would have came to work without a shower in the morning.

Oh come on, you dont want some sanitised, waxed underwear model making PG rated love to you. You want a fat, dirty slob who'll really get in there and do what needs to be done

Ah come on, a shower takes ten minutes, 20 minutes out of 16 hours in the day? And for most people a washing machine and dryer does the clothes.

Do you shower before work?
