Do you shower every morning?

lawred2 · 31-05-2017 09:16AM #1

I ask because I'm sitting on a bus traveling into town and there are a number of lads who have quite clearly not had a wash this morning..

I don't get it.

Can barely function without a morning shower.

Ubbquittious · 31-05-2017 09:18AM

No.Unless the water making its way into the plughole is visibly brown or grey I feel like I'm wasting my time as well as not getting value for money out of my shower.

lawred2 · 31-05-2017 09:18AM

Same.. It's like I've never left the bed if I haven't showered

Edit.. That was not in response to ubiquitous lol

Oh no, not this again.

Get ready for people who shower after every meal, using a clean Egyptian cotton towel each time and put on clean underwear having thrown their previous underwear out after one use.

Yes, except possibly one day of the weekend if feeling Very lazy.

I thought it was before and after every meal?

Oh jesus. Just when i thought i had purged the last hygiene thread from my memories, it comes back.

There is some people who shower twice a week and they think nothing of it or rarely wash clothes.
And they think nothing of it.

I wash myself with a rag on a stick.

Damn you.

Ah now

I wouldn't throw out the underwear

Wire brush and Dettol once a week.

It all depends who's cooking.

I would shower before and after if I was cooking but if it is being prepared by somebody else then I think a shower after is sufficient.

Usually, if I'm doing some physical labour early on in the day then might leave the shower till after noon.

whoopsadoodles · 31-05-2017 09:34AM

There are definitely people who don't even think to wash daily, let alone shower. Those are the smellies that you meet on the bus.

I never leave the house without a shower, I'd feel manky if I did. I'd very often have one in the evening too.

Love a shower. Feels so so good!

I know someone who only showers once a week. I stayed in her house one time for a few days and had a shower every day, but she has no shower curtain. So every time the shower is used it creates a big mess in the bathroom with water everywhere. She won't buy one because she feels she is over 70 and that it's not worth the bother installing one for the few years that's left in her

After every shower I had she would spend half an hour or more cleaning the place up with towels unkown to me until I saw her at it one day. Then I stopped having showers there and I havn't been back there since. Despite only showering once a week her house is perfectly clean and she spends ages cleaning, polishing and tidying the place. Believes washing too often is bad for the skin.

Shower when I get home from work or after exercise.

RocketRaccoon · 31-05-2017 09:35AM

I start work at 5am most mornings, if I put the shower on before that my wife would murder me. I shower at night, 4/5 times a week. Or if I've been for a cycle, I get in to the shower as soon as I get home.

Kimbot · 31-05-2017 09:36AM

I don't have time in the mornings to shower, I'd need to be up at 4:30 just to put the water on so I leave it until I get home from work.

irelandrover · 31-05-2017 09:38AM

Actually, for the people who think you stink if you dont shower every morning.
Do you stink on the bus home from work in the evening?

Jobs OXO · 31-05-2017 09:38AM

Always nice to have a shower after the morning salvo out of the botty. Also good to give a wash to the aul sex stick and the plums daily.

red_scarlett34 · 31-05-2017 09:38AM

Same, don't have time in the morning. Start work at 8. I do a quick body wash at the sink and that's it. Usually shower in the evenings.

Mint Sauce · 31-05-2017 09:38AM

No, but I do nearly every evening. Could not get into bed after a day at work without one.

A summers day, like the one we are getting, could mean two showers in the day.

Incinerating them is much more hygienic.

Mickeroo · 31-05-2017 09:42AM

Every second morning, with a quick wash on the interim morning.

I think you'll find that the people who smell don't shower in the morning or night and don't change clothes that often.

Unless you are doing physical work then a daily shower isn't a necessity. Then there are the people who think a bit of deodorant stops BO stinking when you need antiperspirant for that.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 31-05-2017 09:43AM

I have a shower once a month whether I need it or not.

And before you caught her cleaning it up I suppose you thought the bathroom cleaned itself?

You 'll also find that marketing and advertisement has made us think and feel we must not smell funny, so we must consume that smelly spray stuff, just to 'fit in'!

Babies and prepubescent children should only bath/shower once or twice a week.

Elderly people should only wash once a week. That lady you know is right. At that skin is getting thinner and produces less oil. overwashing does damage it.

Between those ages, every day or second day is a minimum. Some people really don't smell, fair enough. But I think if you're commuting on public transport and then working around others it's polite to shower daily. It's not that great for your skin, so a light moisturiser afterwards can help.

Do you shower every morning?
