Baths vs. Showers

[Pescados666]

Baths.



We'll...Baths require almost no energy. You even get to lie down while taking them. Your legs don't get tired, they're not in use. You can even get a few hours of kip in the tub if you need it.



Fizz bombs and bubble bath. That stuff doesn't work in the shower, trust me, I've tried. Santa beards and bubble-castles, that kind of thing is for the big boys.



Rubber duckies and other floating toys. I think we all know the importance of company while bathing, and I have complete faith that learning to bathe with others at a young age will increase one's sociability levels later in life. As there's nothing to float on during a shower, one becomes accustomed to being alone and therefore hates mankind when older. You could, in a shower, I suppose, line the soap shelves with on-looking barbie dolls,as my little sister once did, but my father promptly removed them before I experienced their true worth.



Tidal waves, on small, non-life-threatening levels, are wicked, wicked fun. Back and forth, back and forth, get that surf up to a nice height and watch the carnage. Make sure you're on the bottom floor though, leaks only matter if people can see them.



The free hand. It's hard, I know, to resist that temptation of sinking your whole body into the lovely womb of warmth and lovin', but if one does manage to leave out a limb, they have themselves a free hand. Such an asset can combine true passions, for example, the book and the bath, the remote control and the bath, the gameboy and the bath, the yo-yo and the bath, and so on. This is difficult to achieve in showers.



Showers.



Parties are alright, clubs and discos are ok, but there will never be a better place to boogie than the whirlin' twirlin' shower floor. Get out your extension chord, plug up your means of music, and show the world of soap-suds and shampoo what you really got. Dance like no one is watching. You can do all the slippery moves you only dreamed about, you can work up the biggest sweat of your life, it's an instant-cleansing environment. Take heed, though, I had to have stitches on my chin when I was a wee one; I was doing the hokey-pokey with a little too much umphff and not that much care.



Private concerts. Ever see that comic strip, starring Disney's Goofy, where he's a great singer in the shower but when he gets on stage he sucks, so he has a brainstorm and brings his shower on stage and he's perfect? Well, I have. And I know that whoever wrote it was coming straight from the heart. Newton himself made a long-lost law that singing skills are increased when said singer is in the shower. I don't know why. I don't want to know why. All I want to do is sing my heart out, and the shower is the only place I feel comfortable doing so (and my family allow me to).

Interesting, Fish, but... uhm.


Why make this thread?

Did you just type that all just for this thread?

[Katman]

Do whatever you feel like. It's awful hard to read in the shower, though.

The bath

Looking at the poor formatting it looks more like he copy/pasted it.


Oh, and baths FTW.

Showers are nice, but I always manage to stay in too long. :/

And I can't stay still long enough to take a long soak in the bath.

Also, i feel cleaner after a shower, because then, I'm able to wash my hair easily.

Baths.


Your legs don't get tired, they're not in use.

Are you seriously complaining about your legs getting tired while standing, when you are an avid fencer who abusing your legs for many hours on end. C'mon, gimme a break!!

I have to get to class now, BLAST!

It's tough to say one's better than the other...a lot depends on mood at the time. I do find showers to be almost as relaxing as baths if set up correctly...in my shower, I can lean forward and rest my head on the wall while the super-hot water hits me on the upper back....perfect.

If I'm alone, shower. If I'm with someone, bath.

[Slacker]

Shower, definitely. 9Alone or for two) I don't understand why so many master baths have those big bathtubs with the jets- who uses 'em?

If I'm alone, shower. If I'm with someone, bath.

Opposite with me... showers are something that are easy (and fun) to share. The best showers are when you have more than one shower head. Having water spraying at you from different directions is really nice. No cold spots!

If you have an extra large tub built for two, then they're nice to share. Otherwise... Baths are best alone with a good book and a cup of tea.

They are great for sore muscles.

Everyone likes hot tubs. Somehow, you throw a bar of soap in it, and a lot of people change their mind.

...or a glass of wine.

[Nicksmom]

I just wish that my patients would do either.

[Musicfencer]

i read in the shower, thus making taking a bath useless.
silly people.
showers are the only way to go!

[Fencergrl]

Much like capitalization and spelling.

[Musicfencer]

OBVIOUSLY
spelling though, is it REALLY that bad?

[Fencergrl]

Trust me... reading your posts can be quite painful. Consider it good practice for when you get out in the real world. Nothing spells stupid like getting a response back from a Customer Service Manger. Sad but true.
