I LOVE to shower. I stay in there for 2 or 3 hours at a time.
Obviously, being in there so long -- I get hungry.

So, my idea is to install a microwave on the wall of my shower using a A/C wall unit kit (part of the microwave would stick out of my house).

How thick should the electrical cables be to avoid water making contact with the electricity?

Dude if you spend that much time in there install a toaster oven instead.

Also use 0 gauge wiring.

Hard wire the microwave into the electrical supply of the house. No exposed wires.

I won't comment on the fact that it is fairly disgusting to eat in the bathroom. Some guys like to read on the toilet for long periods. What's next, installing a george forman grill right next to the toilet paper holder?

Damn that's a sweet idea!

Full duplex bodily I/O. Who can argue with that?

Wasn't your dad pissed enough when you had him install that 120 gallon water heater?

just make sure the outlet is within arm's reach from your shower in case of an emergency you can easily unplug the microwave to avoid electrocution.

Get a hydroelectric powered microwave, ftw.

hahahahaahahahaha this is one of the best ideas ever!
hydroelectric shower microwave!!!

I imagine you could let the battery charge at 15-20 watts for like 30 minutes, and then you'd have enough power to run the microwave for 15 seconds ...
So, for every 2 hours of shower, 1 minute of microwave power ...

This would ensure the OP takes at least a 4-5 hour long shower in order to enjoy microwave popcorn in the shower.
