    This is directed to everyone who has posted in this thread who mentioned they have their phone in or nearby while they shower for music, audio books, etc.

    Why?

    How long are you showering that you need some content to fill the time?
    It honestly concerns me that some people can’t go five to ten minutes, alone with their own thoughts.

    Someone here mentioned meditation, and that is how I shower. A quick, five minute chance to disconnect from the noise of the world.

      The shower and the shitter are the last places I’m alone with my thoughts. Not giving it up.

      My wife has mixed irish and black hair. It takes legit 25 minutes with running water (45+ without) to detangle her hair.

      Most people i know take 20+ minute showers. I fully believed they were lying when the local water company did a presentation at my elementary school and priced out 5-10 minutes for a shower.

      I was wondering the same. Even though my showers always end up taking 15-20 minutes (I get stuck in the warm water), why would you fill that nice, short time, with some extra noise?
