Community bar of soap.

I was talking with a guy who works here (we both ride our bikes in to work) about the soap situation in the shower and commented on the fact that a bar of soap I bought in disappeared so I brought in another one and one of our co-workers overheard and asked if we each brought in our own soap. I said I brought in a bar and just leave it in the soap dish in the shower. I don't really care if someone else uses it but he seemed really disgusted by that.

What's the big deal? It's soap! It's always clean right? :laugh:

There are only two people in the entire company who use this shower regularly so as long as both of us don't have open wounds and an infectious disease there shouldn't be any problem right? Even then, the chances are probably pretty slim of anything transmitting from one person to another.

Also, I do bring my own face cleanser and shampoo.
 
This is one of those germophobe concerns I've never understood. It's friggin' soap! The whole idea that it can't be shared is held exclusively by the kind of paranoid hypochodriacs who keep the ass-gasket industry in business. As it happens I use liquid soap, but I have never thought anything of sharing a bar of soap. I swear this country is becoming more fearful and tentative with each passing generation.
 
Ew. Do you share your bath towels too? I mean after all you're theoretically clean when you wipe yourself down with it...

As a practical matter I don't, but I have and don't fear doing it. What the hell are you so afraid of? I mean, if I were visiting a leper colony or something I would be concerned about this, but not when the other users are normal, clean people who I know.

I don't know, same reason most people don't like double dipping chips I guess.

I made the mistake of lending my bar of soap in high school to an upperclassman after football practice. I ended up with a rash.

Don't risk it.

Nope, not a matter of fear for me really. I'd rather have my own bar of soap that hasn't been in some other dudes ass or on his nuts just to find some hairs on it, when I could just as easily have my own damn bar of soap!

[joey]oh yeah? well next time, think about the last thing i wash and the first thing you wash[/joey]
 
It doesn't bother me as long as there aren't pubes on it and such, but I would rather avoid it at all costs. Just because I can wear some dude's underwear doesn't mean I want to do it. It's to be avoided at all costs.
 
So after some guy cleans out his undercarriage, you are okay using it for you face? No thanks.

I don't wash my face with soap.

Look, it's not like we're screwing the same chick. It's a bar of soap! You lather it up and rub it on your skin. You don't eat it, lick it, or stick it in any orifices so what's the big deal? Besides, 90% of the time I get here before he does so I use it first. 😛
