Shower Sitters, Are You Out There?

I’m curious, does anybody else sit down in the shower. (That’s right not a typo. Sitters, not shitters)

This started for me when I was younger, usually when I was nursing a gnarly hangover. The warm water beating down on me was a solace and sitting just made it feel all the more comforting. Though I’m sure it’s not the most hygienic.

Over the years, it's evolved into a ritual, now my preferred way to unwind and relax. So much so, I’m building a concrete bench seat in the shower, with a custom shower head above it, as part of our bathroom renovations. (Similar to the pic)

I'm curious if anyone else has a similar routine. Do you find it therapeutic too? Any particular reason why you started?

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!

Damn it, scrolled down and saw someone beat me to this. Deleting. Which is a weird thing to jabs to explain. But things don't get deleted here in a normal way.

I used to straight up nap in the shower as a kid. My parents thought I was jerking off but I was legitimately just taking a power nap.

Dude. Same. I would sometimes make a little sleep mask out of a wash cloth.

I just let my parents think that. Somehow, yanking it seemed less weird.

Holy shit are we the same person?
