How long does it take you guys to take a shower?

He's whacking off. It's best you not disturb him.

Same...sometimes longer at school - I don't think the hot water ever runs out here! :D

Gotta get the most out of my money...:D

Edit: and for the record, that involves no kitten killing!

15-20 minutes. And no carrot polishing, either.

I can do it in much less if I'm in a hurry but a nice warm shower is pretty relaxing for me.

10-15 minutes to shower, shave, and brush my teeth
I can do it in 5-7 minutes if I am in a mad rush.

depends if it is a date night or not :) I usually am out within 12-18 minutes, though. Shorter when i shower at the gym.

**Poll** My roommate takes insanely long showers.

Do what I used to do. Slowly turn off the hot water tap coming out of the tank--the water will get cold and the guy will get out... NOT the inlet, he will burn his ass as the water level gets lower in the tank.

He's especially bad about it on poker night when the rest of us have had some drinks. Right at the point where we all need the bathroom, he decideds to take a shower. Then in the morning, he'll get up 5 minutes before we all do, and takes ANOTHER shower.

Let me tell you, one bathroom is not enough for three guys.

Same exact thing with one of my roomates, except 3 of us share 1 bathroom. I dread waking up every morning, because no matter what time I wake up, he gets in RIGHT before me and takes a HALF HOUR which totally F's up my whole day.

Even the time I had to wake up at 6am and get into work for an early meeting, he got in right before me. It was uncanny.

Wow, so much water wasted.

when I was in the dormitory, I used to shower to relax a bit at the end of the day, really calmed the shoulder and back and neck muscles. If I know no one is going to use the shower (ie, they're out bar hopping or passed out), I could take a couple hours around finals. Now that I'm home tho, I am up, showered, and back to my computer in about 10 minutes if I have to do work because I don't want to use up the hot water.... but I think a shower is one of the nicest pleasures you have in your every day routine...why rush?

It takes me a minimum of 25 minutes to shower, and up to an hour depending on if I shave or not.

I really don't understand how you guys can wash every part of you and call it clean in 15 minutes.. or less.

5-7 minutes.

Both of my roommates take 25-40 minute showers. Luckily, I have my own bathroom...
