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.

I had an ex-gf that would sit down for showers when possible, and sometimes fall asleep lol

Yeah I shi- Oh shower sitters. Uh yeah I sit in the shower sometimes, when life is just hard.

Sometimes when everything gets too overwhelming I'll sit in the shower

It's relaxing but I lose track of time pretty easy and the amount of hot water I have is pretty limited

Lemmy needs a hide option. I am not a shower sitter but I do not want to downvote to get it off my feed. You guys will now live at the top of my feed out of respect for your life choices.

I used to do it a lot, but now that I share my shower with my roommate, I think it’s kind of gross, so I stopped. But it was nice, I really enjoyed it, especially with some good music.

I also did it while I was in Japan, since the bathroom layouts over there allow for showering while sitting and then simmering in the bath tub.

When my nerve pain rose to the point that I lost the use of my leg, I invested in a shower chair.

Now that I'm rehabilitated, I still use the shower chair because it's absolutely delightful to just chill with good posture in the warm shower.

Yeah, I do it occasionally. Bad headache or hangover. That'll usually do the trick.

You don't want to know how I misread that title. 😶

People don't do this sometimes??? I enjoy doing this as often as possible. I started doing it when I had some headaches and didn't feel like bending backwards (tall guy problems in a small shower) so I would just sit and let the water flow over me like I was being blessed by the water gods of headache removal. Haven't looked back since, it's so damn soothing!

Yes. Often. I love it, it feels…. Safe? Same as you, started doing at as a part of the hangover ritual; now I do it a couple times a week. It’s relaxing. Head hanging down, warm water dripping down my nose. Comfy.

Jeez I read shower SHITTERS and came to laugh at all of the weirdos. Thankfully I don't have to write off humanity as early as usual this morning.

I always sit down in the shower. Always. Pretty good feeling. In fact, I just did it, 5-10 minutes ago.

Sitting in the shower is my daily decompression ritual after work. I have no idea when it started but it usually leads me to waste a lot of water.

Best way to unwind. Best way to get over a headache or hangover. I like to go from as hot as I can handle down to as cold as I can handle & alternate for as long as I feel I need. Magic.

It’s like the best combination of a shower and a bath! I also started when I was younger… I had to get up really early in the morning and the only way I could get myself out of bed was to lay down and basically sleep in the shower. It was soo relaxing but eventually woke me up enough for the day. I still do it sometimes when I really want to relax or am very tired.

Both my knees need replacing and my left hip is shot at too I have a shower seat so that I can shower when they hurt. I do find it's relaxing and many a time I've been close to falling asleep

In the gym the shower has a seat. It's so nice to sit in and relax.

However my home shower is way to small for a seat.

Only when I need a good cry

Found Alex Goldman’s burner account

The place I moved into recently has a seat built into the shower.

Yup, it's like meditation for me. Helps me unwind.

Sometimes you just gotta sit, it’s relaxing, it’s not quite a full bath scenario but not quite a shower, a nice middle

Generally only when I'm hungover.

Love it! I’ve never done it unless I’m feeling really sick or really sad, but it’s so nice—why not every day?

I had a real nasty shower in the house I lived in as a kid. It changed the way I see showers. The thought of sitting down in one. Ehh, it sends shivers down my spine. But you do you. If you like it you like. Also, I first misread the title as shower shitters and, the first line of the description made me think you were going to talk about dropping a log down the drain pipe.

Yes, but it's a rare ocfurance for me. I want to keep it special
