WARNING: Totally random, pretty stupid, completely pointless. But, uh, I've got a cold. As if that was an excuse.
I hate showering.
Don't get me wrong. I do it anyway. I like to be clean. I really like to be clean. I'm not one of those hair-faced pot-bellied bespectacled fanboys that you run into at the local comic store.
But since I have long hair, I feel compelled to wash it every time I shower, so the process of getting myself clean, dry, and redressed occupies about an hour of every day. And it's a boring hour, too, standing there; you wouldn't expect that spending an hour naked and wet with nothing but a bar of soap and your own imagination would be boring. Well, you wouldn't if you were a pervert. Like I am. But, you know, every damn day... no matter how big a pervert you are, some days you just want to sit around and eat Oreos instead of have sex. Well, if you're like me.
Uh. I think I'll just put this argument down before it gets even more tortured and embarrassing. Thanks.

Nezumi can only agree with you, hon. That's why he's very glad that the house he rents has no shower of any kind in it.
Instead, there's a tub. A lovely, wonderful, old-fashioned cast-iron beauty that sits on charming club feet and has a back that slopes at the perfect angle to fall asleep on. Heaven.

I, too, loathe showering. This mostly has to do with the fact that my dorm has public restrooms which we are expected to use, and the shower is in a sort of big stall with a little curtain that doesn't quite go all the way to the floor. And you have to shower and dry off in there, as I refuse to prance around my co-ed hall in nothing but a towel since my fugliness would turn people to stone.
And of course my hair, though not terribly long, holds water. LOTS of water. It is a veritable sponge.

Agreed. Shampoo, condition, and facial wash thingie...gets boring fast.
Cut my hair above the shoulders though, and it was the nicest thing. I can shake my head dry like a dog. Er, yeah.

Hmmm....I LIKE showering. Not that I think anyone is wrong for NOT liking it. I realize this is me. But you see, I DON'T have long hair, and quite frankly, I'd look probably VERY stupid if I did (*shudder*), so maybe I just can't look directly at this kind of level, because I don't understand.
But I can see how it would be annoying just the same.
Mmmmm.....Oreos.... :3

I have short hair. I hate showering. I love baths.
Showers are the "Ugh, I better do this and run" attitude to bathing. Showers are the "I gotta do this so I might as well enjoy it" version.
'Specially if you have lots of time and bubbles :o)

I have long hairİ Not as long as it used to be, but still longİ I love showeringİ And bathsİ
It's the getting out and drying off, and then waiting the few hours for my hair to dry that gets on my nervesİ
In my opinion, the world would be so much nicer if we never had to get out of the showerİ
