Living in the driest state in the driest country in the world, with near constant water restrictions, 2 minute showers are the norm. 10 minutes a greedy luxury, and 30 minutes just an amazing amount of good water to be poured down the drain.
That's like 600+ litres of water or over 5000 buckets :shockedface:
Fresh water must be plentiful in the US.

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):

Basic training was probably 60 seconds though. You can definitely get yourself clean in under 60 seconds, but you have to change and all that biz which adds time on.

That is all.

With me, it's a race to see what happens first. Gray or bald.
Bald is winning dammit!

I take showers, I don't like baths, never really have. It takes me about 10 to 15 minutes to shower I have long thick blonde hair and I am female so I actually take the time to shampoo rinse and condition my hair and wash my body and use my face wash. If I am shaving my legs add another 10 minutes. I shave my underarms everyday cuz I really hate how stubble feels under my arms.

Ideally, you're not even supposed to wash with soap or shampoo every day. It sucks all the moisture out of your skin and takes the good oils out of your hair. Unless you sweat like a pig, you don't have to do much more than spritz off with water. 2 minutes should be plenty on the off-soap days.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

During the filming of Zardoz, Sean Connery regularly needed 14 hours to shower. True story.

I can take a shower in 5 minutes but I prefer taking a bath.

I lived in a house at Uni where the power shower was shorting into the water and giving mild electric shocks at low temperatures. Even with a pony tail down to my waist I was having 90 second showers and spasms ><

If somebody you're arguing with goes off the deep end, don't follow.

FYI, I believe if the BAF cutscene is made substantially longer to accommodate your bath people will be slightly unhappy.|

I like taking a long, relaxing shower when I get home from work. They usually take 15-20 minutes, sometimes longer on the days I have to wash my hair twice to get the chemical smell out. Still not as bad as cigarette smoke after a night out at the pub though...

I used to love taking baths, especially in the evening. But since I don't have one of those giant soaker tubs and being 6'3", the normal size tubs aren't big enough for me to have a comfortable bath.

Tell me, does it include drying up? And also the the one minute to have the shampoo do its job?
Seriously though, I do agree it´s getting tedious. The very first time it was epic to me (though it would have been more epic if it had voice-over >3 *runs*), but now ... it´s just tedious ^^""
