Shower thoughts are wasting water. (aussie.zone)

My city is in the middle of the worst drought in recorded history. My showers are typically under 2 minutes and I have to shower with a bucket to catch otherwise wasted water to use to flush the toilet. I also shut the water down when I am wet enough so I can scrub myself without having unneeded water flowing then start it back up to rinse.

Plus, water is damn expensive!

Who here really has the time to stand, think and waste in the shower?

I kind of miss having a nice, long, hot, thoughtful shower..

But now you can feel responsible and morally superior to the silly water-wasters

I envy silly water wasters because I miss my long thoughtful hot showers. But I do admit my newfound superiority is amazing!

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
