Since I was a kid. You’re the first person I’ve ever heard talk about it. I guess I always thought it was super weird so i never told anyone.
Yeh. I’m Shocked here tbh. I feel like I’ve found my people. I was always told it was super weird too!
There are dozens of us!
Edit: Damn it, scrolled down and saw someone beat me to this. There are clearly too many of us.
Why can’t you both say it?
I had an ex-gf that would sit down for showers when possible, and sometimes fall asleep lol
Me too haha
Sometimes when everything gets too overwhelming I'll sit in the shower
It's relaxing but I lose track of time pretty easy and the amount of hot water I have is pretty limited
Yeah I shi- Oh shower sitters. Uh yeah I sit in the shower sometimes, when life is just hard.
Lemmy needs a hide option. I am not a shower sitter but I do not want to downvote to get it off my feed. You guys will now live at the top of my feed out of respect for your life choices.
I used to do it a lot, but now that I share my shower with my roommate, I think it’s kind of gross, so I stopped. But it was nice, I really enjoyed it, especially with some good music.
I also did it while I was in Japan, since the bathroom layouts over there allow for showering while sitting and then simmering in the bath tub.
When my nerve pain rose to the point that I lost the use of my leg, I invested in a shower chair.
Now that I'm rehabilitated, I still use the shower chair because it's absolutely delightful to just chill with good posture in the warm shower.
I broke my hip and was touch-weight bearing for nine months. The NHS provided a shower stool but after a few months I just hopped into the shower, I found standing on one leg preferrable to sitting down.
People don't do this sometimes??? I enjoy doing this as often as possible. I started doing it when I had some headaches and didn't feel like bending backwards (tall guy problems in a small shower) so I would just sit and let the water flow over me like I was being blessed by the water gods of headache removal. Haven't looked back since, it's so damn soothing!
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
I just sit right on the bathroom floor. Don't even care. I'm the one who cleans that bathroom, I know that shits clean, yanno?
Yeah, I do it occasionally. Bad headache or hangover. That'll usually do the trick.
Exactly the same. Usually standing up, but if it's a really bad morning I sit down.
More often than not I also close the drain so it becomes a bath and suddenly I'm stewing in my own shame and regret.
You don't want to know how I misread that title. 😶
I somehow read it as "Waffle Stompers"...
Flower sitters?
I think I know how you read it.
💩
I always sit down in the shower. Always. Pretty good feeling. In fact, I just did it, 5-10 minutes ago.
I’m doing it right now. 💛
Lemmy-ing in the shower? Good one.
Sitting in the shower is my daily decompression ritual after work. I have no idea when it started but it usually leads me to waste a lot of water.
It’s not a waste. It’s medicine for your mental health.
It’s like the best combination of a shower and a bath! I also started when I was younger… I had to get up really early in the morning and the only way I could get myself out of bed was to lay down and basically sleep in the shower. It was soo relaxing but eventually woke me up enough for the day. I still do it sometimes when I really want to relax or am very tired.
Yeh. I’m thinking I might like saunas too. Haven’t really tried one properly.
Best way to unwind. Best way to get over a headache or hangover. I like to go from as hot as I can handle down to as cold as I can handle & alternate for as long as I feel I need. Magic.
Jeez I read shower SHITTERS and came to laugh at all of the weirdos. Thankfully I don't have to write off humanity as early as usual this morning.
Yes. Often. I love it, it feels…. Safe? Same as you, started doing at as a part of the hangover ritual; now I do it a couple times a week. It’s relaxing. Head hanging down, warm water dripping down my nose. Comfy.
Both my knees need replacing and my left hip is shot at too I have a shower seat so that I can shower when they hurt. I do find it's relaxing and many a time I've been close to falling asleep
I’ve fallen asleep too often. I always worry I’d drown. But hasn’t happened yet. 🤷♂️
The place I moved into recently has a seat built into the shower.
Generally only when I'm hungover.
Yup, it's like meditation for me. Helps me unwind.
I haven’t done it in a while but when I did it was a way to relax and unwind a bit.
Now though I haven’t had the luxury of time to do so.
Sometimes you just gotta sit, it’s relaxing, it’s not quite a full bath scenario but not quite a shower, a nice middle
In the gym the shower has a seat. It's so nice to sit in and relax.
However my home shower is way to small for a seat.
Maybe you need to work on your flexibility at that gym haha. 🧘♂️
Yes, but it's a rare ocfurance for me. I want to keep it special
Shower monk.
I would but I don't think I'll fit on the floor in a sitting position. Our shower is too small
