According to the data, an eight-minute shower used 62 litres of hot water, compared with an average bath's 80 litres.

In the US, shower heads are typically 2.5 gpm (75-litres for an 8-minute shower), or the 'water-saver' models are 1.5 gpm (45-litres for 8-minutes).

Look, Subby. When I have to poop I have to poop. It's nothing I can't heel through the drain anyways, thanks to all that coffee.

I dunno about you folks, but I like to get in, wash my shiat, and get out. Eight minute showers? You're not only rubbing one out, you're smoking a cigarette in there.

Paula Owen, an independent environmental consultant, said the survey gave a "fascinating peek into the bathroom-related habits of the British public".

yes.. fascinating peek indeed......

of course, were the hell else indoors can a feller still light up?

This isn't rocket science. Just plug the drain before you start the shower to see how much you used compare to a bath. Sit in the water when your done with the shower to raise the level (displace the water) as if you were taking a bath.
 
2011-11-22 07:39:24 PM
Whatever, Pal. I'm not clogging up the pipes, I'm "clearing them out" if ya know what I mean.
 
2011-11-22 07:40:34 PM
And not for anything, 62 liters versus 80 liters. So it still saves water and energy!

Anyone have a tally on how many different versions of this fake shower notice are actually out there? Seems every day I see a new one pop up, with a different college name on it.

She added that by using algorithms, researchers were able to extract the necessary information about people's showering behaviour from the raw data.

Algorithms? In MY raw data?

I could cut my shower time in half if I didn't shave in the shower. However, I'd probably use that time fapping.

I mean, maybe after a shower, but a bath to clean up? that's disgusting.

I can't count the number of times I jerked in my dorm. For the first few weeks of a semester, you would only do it when you were the only guy in the stalls. After a while, desperation began to take hold and guys just stopped giving a damn if there was someone in the next stall. Basically, the place was full of guys jerking off simultaneously - albeit in semi-private - and we just stopped caring. The noise was a bad chorus.

/has also jerked at work

I like to shave, brush my teeth and get cleaned in the shower. That takes up about 15 minutes.

As someone who lives in the Seattle area, where we have water to spare, I could really care less how much water I waste. If you're living in some godawful place where it never rains, then it makes sense to monitor water usage carefully, but here it doesn't matter unless we have a bad year for the snowpack. Now, come 2040 we may have some issues due to climate change decreasing the snowpack in the mountains, but I'm going to enjoy the water while I have it. Plus, it is not like it goes away when it goes down the drain. It'll eventually come back as rain or snow.

Never thought to masturbate in the shower myself. I take maybe 3 minutes in the shower. I can hop in and get clean before a commercial break is over.

Dear Nanny State,

You can just get flying fark out of my shower. Yes I'm whacking off, and shaving after that, and yes I'm using an assload of hot water.

Not your business. Get out of my bed, bath, and beyond.

A proper shower head will have a force and a stream that one can use in the same manner one would use a bidet.

Meanwhile, the description offered by dickfreckle is causing me to want to leave the thread for a few minutes. BTW, df, when you say "stalls" do you mean toilet stalls or shower stalls? Because if it's toilet stalls, eww.

A couple of years ago, me and the wife (no kids) had to replace our 50 gallon hot water heater. Among other things, I would get cold showers after my wife took hers in the morning. Everything I read everywhere suggested that a 50 gallon electric water heater (electric is our only choice) should be way more than enough for two people and maybe even four people. So I got a new 50 gallon, but she still empties it with her morning shower. I asked her how long she stays in there anyway, and she says "oh, maybe half an hour to 45 minutes." What the fark is that woman doing in there? So in the remodel we'll be doing next summer, I'm going to have them put in a 70+ gallon hot water heater and be done with it.

50 gallons = 190 liters
60 gallons = 227 liters
70 gallons = 265 liters
"eight-minute shower used 62 litres of hot water" = 16 gallons total, 2 gallons a minute. Power shower doubles it to 32 gallons total, 4 gallons a minute.

I get out of the shower when I have used up all the hot water. Thank you, no, I do not want energy saving tips.
 
2011-11-22 08:10:02 PM
I'm almost afraid to so say how long I take in the shower. But in my defence I suffer from OCD and have a very very very specific shower regiment that must be followed.

Plus I shave every hair below my neck off.
 
2011-11-22 08:10:31 PM
I was cleaning it and it accidentally went off, I swear.
 
2011-11-22 08:12:39 PM
Yeah, I take 20 minute showers instead of 4 minute showers. But I only shower once every two weeks.
