Am i being weird?
I don't have an extra brush, but I brush on shower if I'm saving time.
But being weird is not a crime, so who cares.

I've dated a couple people who do that. They usually say they do it to save time. Kill two birds with one stone or something, I guess. Makes sense to me!

I didn't read the "people" part.
I though it was nice that a couple had both goodnight and morning sex and brushed their teeth in the shower. Then I realized you dated them, and it got weird...

I brush my teeth and shave in the shower.
Hung a mirror on the back shower wall, and good to go XD

I shave the non-facial hair in the shower, but as a guy with long hair, I sometimes lean my head to the mirror (just outside the shower) so I can shave from there. Shaving after the shower if you wash the hair too is a pain in the arse since I have wild curly hair which loves to get in the razor for some reason...

I love brushing my teeth in the shower, but I don't keep an extra toothbrush for it there :O I just take my normal toothbrush with me.

I brush my teeth in the shower all the time. Theres so many reasons why its a good idea. 1. It saves water (for the environment or for your bill) 2. its double tasking 3. everything goes down the drain so you can spit and wash your mouth out all at once 4. you usually take more time to do it then out of the shower where you would probably rush more. May the shower brushers prevail!

Amen on that.
we share the same opinion and the same game in our avatar.

While it might not be a weird thing to do, brushing in the shower wastes more water than it saves, so that isn't really a valid reason to. If one really wanted to save water, you'd fill a bucket with the exact amount of water you'd need for a bath (and a shave or toothbrushing) and use just that much. But bucket baths suck.

Or just dry brush, then put your head in a bucket with your mouth open. Job done.

Why do I care what other people think, especially for something so small?
And of course thank you for the ride.:)

One of the inmates I used to supervise brushed over the toilet, and was admittedly opposed to brushing over the sink as it was "unsanitary."
I always found that weird... I've known people to brush their teeth in the shower... I really just draw the line at pooping there but that's just me

i know you prolly get asked that alot. but is prison anything like the series telling us ( like orange is the new black f.e.)
to me seems like an interessting job. Do you enjoy it? For how long have u been doing it?

Full disclosure: I "retired" three years ago (meaning after 15 years of it I had burned out and wanted something different). So it is no longer part of my daily life. I've only seen the show you refer to once. My wife actually enjoyed it. On a side note we met while I worked at the women's prison she was a guard as well. Having worked in both a men's facility & a women's facility I can tell you that some of it is spot on, while other parts are absolute garbage. For instance the show referenced a lot of relationship activity between the offenders. That is completely accurate for a women's prison. Whether they form a sexual relationship or more of a familial one (i.e. pseudo mother & daughter); this tendency is glaringly apparent.
The women are far more open about their sexual behavior... whereas it is still excessively taboo in the male facilities. It is too such an extent that sexual interactions are rarely if ever discussed regardless of whether it was consensual or not. In the cases where both parties are consenting it does not get mentioned for fear of harassment or worse at the hands of other inmates (that sentiment is totally justified). In the cases where consent does not occur it rarely is exposed as well. Having not experienced this myself I have only ever been able to speculate that the victims do not speak out because of some combination of humiliation, self blame, and concerns it will make them look weak. No one, and I mean no one wants to look weak in a men's prison.
Sometimes I miss it, but most times I do not. I have a great deal of former co-workers that are like family. I have a boatload of stories to make a person laugh, cringe, gasp in horror, etc. Unfortunately, I also have a handful of images and a shred of knowledge that I would just as soon forget. The funny thing is that I always wanted to be one of those guards at the women's prison that helped deliver a baby when there was no other option. I figured that experiencing the start of a life on the job might just cancel out a memory where I had witnessed the end of one.
... and now that I've gone all dramatic I should probably stop as I believe I not only veered away from your question, but I also just became the Debby Downer here.

wow... thank you for being that honest and sharing your experience.
Im happy that all worked out well and i wish you nothing but the best for the future.

I've never heard of such a thing. It seems like it would waste water, because you're not really cleaning yourself while you're brushing. But to each his own-- whatever works for you!
And BTW, you've been seeing a girl for "a few days" and she's already spending a weekend at your place? I'm impressed. ;-)
[Edit: full disclosure, I used to shave in the shower. But I wasn't paying the water bill then and hadn't really discovered electric shavers.]

right? i didnt expect that at all. we are having a good time and it just works out i guess :)

+1, I found that "weirder" than the toothbrush in the shower. xD

You only stand in the shower to clean yourself? Just standing in the shower with some hot as fuck water feels so good. Most of the time I just stand there for like 20 minutes more than needed just because it feels s00o good. (and yes, I JUST stand there and enjoy it!)

Do you pay your own utility bills? :)
I've certainly done that on occasion if I'm very cold or very tired, but not for more than a minute or two because I'm "wasting" water and gas (for the hot water heater). And because 5/7 of the time I'm getting ready for work.
But yes, it does feel nice. :)

Well, yes I don't do it THAT often, but I sure as hell love doing it. I feel like the costs are generally not that bad. And I only do it when I don't have anything specific to do anytime soon

It sounds like a perfectly lovely indulgence as long as you don't live in an arid climate, and you're not leaving housemates to a cold shower. ;-) I still can't imagine more than, say, 5 minutes of it, but then again I've never tried it. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
It generally is a lot colder up here than down there ;)
A lot of the times I really just don't feel like going out the shower because of the cold too. And almost noone still has one of those systems here. No running out of hot water ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
That's my point also. About the water waste.
And what is strange about the girl? Why to waste their time on taking her home and back when they can relax and have... hmm... fun all the weekend :)
I did the same. In former times...

well, i have problems with the exact definition of "wierd" - it changes really fast recently.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope. I do the same thing. Now, if you used a toothbrush and toothpaste to wash yourself, THAT would be weird. Others have already stated the benefits of brushing your teeth in the shower, so, I won't bother with that. (:

What about this toothbrush to wash myself? :X

I brush, shave and sometime even poop while showering (old style bathroom, so shower and toilet is in same small area), so I think brushing while showering is perfectly fine.
Comment has been collapsed.
never heard of that.
may i ask where you are from? :)
Comment has been collapsed.
You can check my Steam profile if you wanna know where I'm from, but it's more being in a 30+ year old house, lol...
Imagine the bathroom/toilet is a small area... with the toilet in the middle-ish, sink to one side of the room and the shower is just a shower head on the wall. No separate shower area with own room/drain/etc. In other words I can stand and shower fine, but if needed I can sit on the toilet bowl and poop while showering (just adjust the showerhead's aim/direction a little bit, lol).

So im seeing this girl for a few days now and she just spend the last weekend at my place.
So she found my extra set of toothbrush in the shower. She said that would be a weird thing to do (not in a bad weird way tho).
I love brushing my teeth in the shower. It is so convenient.
So i asked some my friends if they do so aswell, but none of them do.
Am i being weird? :D
enjoy the ride
