        Having a cold shower at the end is probably number 1 if I made a list of things I do right in life that most people don’t do. I feel so clean and comfortable for ages afterwards, no matter if I’m in my house or the middle of the forest, summer or winter. Best thing my dad ever taught me. (I mean he’s still alive, so technically ‘best so far’, but I’m not holding my breath).

          I used to do that and liked it, but dropped the habit somewhere along the way. It doesn’t even feel that bad after the initial shock passes. It’s even pleasant, and then when you get out, the water is cooler so won’t evaporate as readily, do it’s not just that you’re more used to the cooler temperature, but it also doesn’t get as cold because evaporation takes away more heat than the higher temperature water provides.

          Also, use your hands as squeegees before you get out of the shower area and your towels won’t go stinky as quickly (because they dry out quicker due to not needing to absorb as much water).

    When I get out of the shower: The dry world is a terrible place but I feel able to take it on and make a difference.

    Why do people hate taking showers in the first place? Is this a meme that just gets perpetualized online or do people actually feel that?

      After taking off my toe nail the doctor has recommended me to keep it dry the first month and insisted to never let it get wet no matter what, so the first time I failed since I like taking showers if not daily at least twice a week, so they had to remove it once again because the nail grew wrong and piercing the meat so the second time they removed it now, let’s just say I took a shower only once these couple of weeks and I now have a water phobia. I can’t describe the pain of touching water directly on the meat when you don’t have a nail…
