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?

    Thoughts taken:

    Is the water running into the bucket when heating?

    Is the water warming yet so I can get my head under comfortably and wet it to get shampoo in?

    Quick, get the shampoo rub it in before I need to add cold so I don’t get burnt.

    Water is perfect now, that’s nice. Turn and rub it in.

    Is it warm enough in the bathroom so I can afford to turn off water and lather myself?

    Ok, now i’m lathered, let’s get those hard to reach places.

    Turn on the water. Try to aim for taps to be at the same position so I don’t get burnt. (I have temperature variation from solar hot water)

    Rinse, quick, let’s rinse. Dont fall over the bucket Gnugit!

    Turn off taps now and quick, dry your hands so you can reply to Sprunt on lemmy.

    Oh, the shower timer only says ~1/4 of 4 minutes this time, that was efficient.

    Hmm, maybe I can finally make a post to c/showerthoughts…
