Sharing is Caring

[geminigirl]

There's a commercial I see on television sometimes. It's a faucet commercial, for a showerhead of some sort. The advertisement has a couple-a man and a woman racing each other to be the first one home and into the shower. The man gets there first, and locks the woman out of the house, fastening the chain on the back of the door.

But the first thing that pops into my head when I see it is why don't they just get in the shower together?

My comprehensive personal philosophy on the world explains this neatly: People are morons.

I'd say that in this instance, it's more that people are frigid. :P

Yeah, frigidly cold!!!!

(I'm starting to wonder if we have an unusually small showerhead or something, because there's no way my husband and I can be in the shower together and both be under the warm water...)

I've got the same problem.

I didn't think you had a husband!

[clockwatcher.livejournal.com]

No husband, but we still don't fit under the showerhead together.

That's probably how it goes in the Euro version :>

I wouldn't lock Bri out of the house to get to the bathroom, but I definitely don't enjoy showering with him!

Reason being that when we shower together, someone is always left out of the stream of hot water, and given the cold weather, I do *not* enjoy standing, waiting my turn.

How do you guys shower without someone being caught, frigidly shivering, waiting for their turn under the shower? Unless perhaps you have a showerhead that's larger than ours. Ours is about the same size as the faucet in the sink.

It depends on the shape and size of the space we're showering in. In our current apartment, we can kind of be side by side if we want to, but once it gets hot enough in the bathroom, Cayne tends to like to be away from the water a bit more, if he's washing my hair, or something. In our house in NJ, I'd scoot back as far towards the faucet as I could, and we'd aim the showerhead a bit further out so we both got some of the spray. We did try out my Mom's shower together one day, and she has large showerhead-I think it's one of those rainfall types.

We manage. It's nice.

Ah hah!

Our shower is 2-foot wide by 4-foot long, so we can't stand side by side in front of the shower, but rather need to stand "in line" for the showerhead... and even then, the 4-foot space isn't that big for us to stand in.

When we get around to remodelling the bathroom, we're going to price the multi-head showers. :)
