A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You guys don't take off your pants, even at home?

Wash your hands in the bathroom, nobody bats an eye.

Scrub down your belt buckle in the sink and people lose their minds!

If someone gets uppity in a bathroom when you are practicing good hygiene, ask them why they don't. And don't let up.

Here is another shower thought. You touch things other ppl who don't wash their hands touch all the time... That is worse in my opinion. Because you can wash your hands before touching anything else (belt included) it isn't as easy to wash your hands everytime on the go. Corona made me very aware of this

The number of men that I see on a regular basis leave the bathroom after going without washing their hands is alarming. I'm almost old enough now to start calling them on it, but not quite.

I bet you think of this during shower.

Interesting point. I have started not wearing belts, I just choose pants that fit and the shirt is big enough to cover the belt area so nobody notices. And then the belt doesn't get caught on the shirt... and it doesn't get icky. Win win!

Because I wear suspenders...

Can't cover everything. Gotta leave some things up to your immune system.

Leather and steel are anti-microbial. If something does get on it, it won't survive for very long.
