Ok, somebody’s gotta say it and it’s gonna be me:

Yo dawg, we put a shower in your shower so you can shower while you shower.

If you have finitely many problems, after purchasing finitely many copies, there should only be one problem left. If this problem isn’t solved with another copy, you’re out of luck and have to come up with the solution yourself.

If you have infinitely many problems then you shouldn’t complain, for you’ll solve infinitely many problems per copy.

Make sure you use a long extension cord to a fuse without RCD for the hair dryer, though - otherwise the constant resetting of the breaker will eat up all your time savings.

Which psychopath brushes their teeth first and then eats breakfast like he’s in some kind of stupid movie

permalink

Well, I have been doing this for a couple of years now. I brush my teeth before eating in the morning because apparently that’s better for your teeth, otherwise you might damage enamel. Or you wait for at least 30-60 minutes, but nobody’s got time for that. Just rinsing with water after eating is fine.

Truth is I usually don’t eat breakfast, so I don’t have to think about it. But when I do, it’s this order for me now.

It doesn’t say that, at least in the way I interpret the text. It says you should wait to brush your teeth after a given time after eating

Exactly, 30 to 60 minutes. I linked to the second paragraph, the one before suggests it might be better to brush before breakfast. But waiting is fine as well of course.

You can still brush them in the morning. Just after you’ve eaten breakfast

Many people I know eat breakfast either on the way to work or once they get there. I only know one guy who brushes at the office and frankly he’s clearly on the spectrum and very socially awkward anyway so people likely aren’t about to follow his lead.

I don’t have the discipline to do that. If I don’t do it when I go in the bathroom in the morning I maybe brush them in the evening

I don’t see how brushing your teeth in the shower saves time. Unless your brushing while you shampoo or something, you’re just making your shower longer, which wastes more water.

I brush my teeth after applying the conditioner in my hair. Being done brushing signifies it is time to rinse out the conditioner

I just put my conditioner in before I wash the rest of my body, then I rinse everything off at once.

I stand there enjoying the hot water and zoning out letting my mind wander. May as well do something useful while I’m just standing there anyway.

Exactly. Plus I rather stand under the hot water instead of standing in the bathroom which is not as warm, in the cold weather.

It’s a habit I picked up in basic training. We had 50 girls to 12 shower heads, and we really didn’t get much time for all of us to shower at all in the first couple weeks (the time constraint was relaxed after a bit though)

The tooth brushing deal though I think was because our TI would find the tiniest speck of water in the sinks after lights out and absolutely lose his shit. So we only used the sinks to wash our hands, so we didn’t accidentally leave toothpaste in the bowl of the sink and miss it while cleaning up for the evening.

Either way, it’s just a habit that’s stuck with me through the years.

The water takes like a minute to heat up here, so I start brushing my teeth while it’s heating up and I finish in the shower

brushing your teeth in the shower

I tried this. Turns out that sonicare toothbrushes are only water resistant and will fail eventually when used in the shower every day. 0/10 Don’t recommend.

Otherwise, if you spend a lot of time daydreaming in the shower to begin with, this can save a few minutes.

Lil flippy knob at the top of the shower head to pause the water is a great water saver. You only really need the water running for like 20% of your time in the shower. I love brushing my teeth in the shower, you can get toothpaste everywhere and then just rinse it off without making a huge mess at the sink, way easier to rinse your mouth with water angled down from above than from a sink below.

I get cold just thinking about this. Turning off the shower is my least favourite part of showering. Why repeat the experience several times in one session?

Do you leave the windows open? My bathroom is so steamy and hot that I don’t notice it, it’s hard to lotion up after with all the steam still hanging around keeping my skin wet even with repeated toweling. But I take very hot showers in a very small bathroom. It’s only cold when I open the door. I do have to clean red water mold off the walls and ceiling a lot, it would probably be better to keep the place ventilated while I shower.
