My wife, to this day, shuts off the shower and then immediately steps out while water is still running off her soaking wet body, inevitably creating a puddle in the bathroom.

"Honey, why don't you drip for like five seconds, or even grab the towel and give yourself a quick dab before you get out?"

The first time I told her this she just stared at me for a solid 20s while her brain rebooted. But then her "never admit anything ever under any circumstances" instinct kicked in and she responded "wow are you really policing my shower habits?"

So anyway, now she knows better, but still does it because marriage is about compromise, or something.

It's a good thing she's not single, I would hate being in a relationship with your wife!

Anyone whose first instinct is to get defensive when offered good faith advice… yeah keep em away from me

Yeah but this guy could be a controlling asshole who follows her around all day laying down "life hacks".

We just don't know.

I dry myself completely while still in the shower and it's a mystery to me why not everybody is doing this.

Because sometimes I leave the towel hanging on the door hook :')

Am I the only one who lays a towel out on the floor in front of the shower? This thread has me thinking what I thought was standard practice might not be.

[-] OrangeJoe@lemm.ee 31 points 2 years ago

Yes, because other people have bath mats...

Which you then need to keep clean and replace. Using a towel is smarter, but some people just love putting unnecessary rugs everywhere.

  • Hang towel over shower screen.
  • Shower.
  • Turn off water.
  • Wipe water off body.
  • Towel dry.

A (very smart and educated) girlfriend once told me it was so smart how I actually dry off my body with the towel instead of just wrap myself and wait for myself to dry naturally. We only have 4 limbs.

Excellent username! I needed a reminder that losing is Fun™️ this morning.

[-] popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 years ago

She reminds me of my 3rd ex wife.

[-] BrotherL0v3@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Oh shit, I do that too! Never occurred to me to stand there and drip for a minute. 😅

I do this out of habit
