For some, showering is a chore, and as a result, they will do their best to get in and out of the shower as quickly as possible.
For others though, showering is an indulgence, and take their sweet time enjoying it.
It does beg the question, does it really take 20 minutes or more to wash one's hair and body?
Or do people get up to other things while enjoying the solitude and the (presumably) hot water.
Redditor Famous_Assistance683 was eager to know what exactly people who linger in the shower are really up to, leading them to ask:
"People who take the longest time in the shower, what the hell do you do in there?"
I just don't want to get out!"Mostly think about how miserable it will feel to get out of the shower."-  14-stars
It just takes that long to get clean!"Wash away the dirt: 5 mins."
"Wash away the pain: 45mins."- Overall_Outcome_392

"Hair sh*t."
"I started growing out my hair like 5 months ago, and the longer it is the more of a pain it is to take care of."
"I’m getting better with it, but I was never really taught how to take care of long hair so it’s hard."-

It's easy to let our curiosity get the best of us.
But then we all must remember, whatever people get up to in private is none of our business.

Sean Duffy—MTV's Real World Boston "party animal"-turned-resigned Wisconsin Republican Representative-turned-Fox News personality-turned-Transportation Secretary for MAGA Republican President Donald Trump—went back to his former employer, Fox News, to reveal the Trump administration's plan to improve air travel.

Anyone who has lived in a rental has had the experience of a maintenance worker entering their space, whether it was to repair an appliance or do a general inspection to make sure everything was up to code.

Nov 20, 2025
Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after X users discovered he'd programmed his AI chatbot Grok to praise his physique by saying he's "fitter than" basketball star LeBron James.
Musk is actually on record saying that he wouldn't exercise if he could, that he's not been consistent meeting with his personal trainer, and that he would "rather eat tasty food and live a shorter life." But to hear Grok tell it, Musk is more fit than one of the top basketball players on the planet—and smarter than some of humanity's greatest minds.

Daniel Radcliffe has an impressive résumé that includes roles in movies, television shows, commercials, and on stage, but even with his extensive experience, most people know him as Harry Potter in the eight-part Harry Potter movie series, the first adaptation of JK Rowling's seven-novel saga.
