@evan Depends

Quick shower? 5 mins

Using the hot water to soothe joint pain? Much longer

@evan I put 5 because never ten. But usually about 6, +-1
That's why I can't get through my podcast queue.

@evan All of the above, depending on circumstances.

@evan
In the morning I,
go to the toilet,
take a shower,
put my clothes on,
pet my cat,
go to the kitchen and put my lunch and breakfast in my bag,
take a vitamin pill,
go out to the hall and put my jacket and shoes on,
ready to walk out to apartment door.
13 minutes has passed since I woke up.
So, the shower it pretty fast 😅

@evan

Wintertime? As quick as possible
Summertime: As long as is necessary

Evan Prodromou

@jessamyn you have a different wintertime policy than me! Beforehand, I fear getting naked to go in the shower, but once I'm in there, I fear getting out and being cold until I'm dressed again. (I also fear running out of hot water, so there are competing interests.)

@evan Umm, what is a shower? In the bathroom (10 min) or in the great big outdoors (>15 minutes)

Paul Turnbull :CApride:

@evan Depends on whether you’re a teen where the shower is the only place you can get a little privacy. However as an adult, probably around 5 minutes. :)

@evan Depends. If I'm quick, it takes me about 10 minutes (with washing hair and all, I can try to do it quicker but will either fail or still have icky hair). If I'm trying to fix my body temperature or ease pain or tension, it's easily half an hour. Most of the time I try to be quick but get distracted and take around 15.

I no longer shower daily though. Usually 3 times a week, washcloth washing at the sink on other days. So I reckon that 2x 15 and 1x 20 on average is still better than 7x10.

@evan Bunch of barely washed people in here

@evan usually until the hot water runs out or until I get bored unless I'm in a hurry

@evan depends, are we in summer or winter? Did I just wake up, with few hours of sleep, in the middle of winter, or is it the weekend, and I've been awake in my bed for the past hour or so? :)

Nowadays i tend to have ~5-minute showers, but I know it'll get longer toward the end of December and in January.

PS Jen

@evan I get spiders in the shower but never check first. I showered with a big one in there today but the room was toasty.

Veronika Cheplygina

@evan I guess it depends if you only count the time under the shower itself, or also the undressing, drying etc?

Григорий Клюшников

Huh, that's unexpected. I thought everyone enjoys long showers.
