i have this friend who's sharing a bathroom with another friend and she is now complaining because the other one stays so long in the bathroom, it takes almost half an hour and she gets annoyed sometimes...she said that she doesn't know what this girl is doing inside that she stays there for so long... oh well people how about you? how long did you stay in a bathroom to take a bath? me i can take a bath quickly if the situation calls...but there are also times that i stay there so long...but not all the time. how about you? do you feel annoyed when someone before you uses the bathroom so long? thanks and have a nice day! :-)

lol =D I thought most gals need quite a long time in the shower?? MOst of my ex gfs usually takes about 20-30mins for their bath and i thought it's normal.. hehe ^_^ As for myself, the longest i'll take is about 20mins with the fastest being 10mins or so.. lol =D It all depends on the weather and what have i been doing for the whole day.. BUt i definitely need a shower everyday even though i'm at home for whole day or raining.. lol =D ANd i will surely feel annoyed if the one before me uses it for a long time, when i'm already late for appointments etc.. As such, i will rather not shower till i reach home later at night.. hehe ^_^

Hi ck! I take at least 15 minutes for bathing in bathroom. I enjoy my bath and go for some quick oil message before taking bath and during bathing I keep singing songs, which prolongs my bathing time. I just cannot take bath in a hurry, specially during summer seasons. However, when it is chilly winter, I may come out within 10 minutes from the bathroom.

he! he! he!, yes I sing aloud, when bathing but no so loud, if I'll sing very loundly, all the donkeys and dogs in my street will gather....15 minutes? You are right that when we bath, we keep thinking about many issues in the bathroom, because at that time, we are alone and no one disturbs us in our thoughts. I can understand that in summers we all feel like bathing and bathing because water feels good on our bodies and in winters, we just want to complete the formality of bathing.

15 minutes? hmmmm not too bad...do you sing loud? hehehe me too, i sing sometimes but not always coz sometimes when i am bathing, i just let all the things go...like makes my mind relax even for a short period of time...but sometimes, that's also a time that i think many things...hehehe usually i just take long when i do some scrubs for the whole body... well during summer seasons, i can stay in the bathroom for a long time, coz water is just refreshing...provided that no one will follow me using the bathroom... during winters...hmmm i do it very quick....hehehe thanks!

haha...and maybe even lizards will fall! hehehe so don't sing that loud! hehehe but anyway, you are in your own house and so just do what you want to do as long as you are not disturbing anybody... maybe its really that, bathing is a time for us to be alone and feel free to think anything...or just free our mind from anything...soooo relaxing time for us... sometimes, when it is very very cold...hehehe i just wash a little hehehe sometimes i don't even take a bath coz during those days, i am just at home doing nothing and i don't sweat...hehehe but i see to it that i wash so that i will not smell bad...heheheh

It takes me 20 to 30 minutes. Like you i can make it quick if needed. It's just that sometimes i want to take my time because taking a bath is a refreshing thing and i want my body to be totally clean. Well to be honest, i do feel annoyed but only when i need the bathroom because i have other more important things to do. My mom is usually the one who takes a bath like its a lifetime.

When I was a student It only took me 5 minutes.lol Why? because I wake up so late and need to be 30 minutes early before my shift and also i have to travel 1 hour and 30 minutes to get there. I done it so many times.(laughing) To have schedule like mine is so hard because it needs a lot of discipline to survive. But on my ordinary class/day i spend 30-1 hour taking shower.=D

I love bathing. It takes me around 15 to 20 minutes and my family members really get angry with me after that..........

Usually takes me 20 minutes to take a shower..our two kids usually something like 20 minutes apiece. If I am in a hurry its half that. My daughter has really long hair so it takes her a little longer..she's only six though. My son just enjoys his showers I think...have to bang on the door a little now and again. But mostly 20 minutes is sort of an unspoken limit at our house. (unless no one will need the bathroom like late at night or whatever).

I can speed it up if needed but I do take about 20 mins anyway....sometimes longer. You have to get undressed, draw the water...shave legs, pee, soap up, rinse off and get out. Then you have to comb out hair get dressed. ...ya, that would easily take up a half hour. A shower is a bit quicker than a bath.

I take 1 to 2 hours to bath and since childhood I am like this and nearly everyone at home is angry at me especially when I enter the bathroom and they are in a hurry to get somewhere so they yell at the door and sometimes my sister who share the same bathroom as mine, throw things at the door to get me out of it which I don't bother to mind.

would that be annoying? it surely does. specially if you really need to use the bathroom... specially if nature calls and the one using it has no sense of getting out from there. i can use the bathroom in a couple of minutes. i dont have to stay long but if needed i do stay long sometimes... but if someone is waiting and needed the bathroom... ill have to get out and go back if that person is finish. jhelai

I actually take a bath for just 15 minutes. I never take a long bath. That is why I also don't get people who take really long baths. I don't know what is taking them so long. If I can do it in 15 minutes, I don't get it why they cannot finish at the same time. Yes, I get really pissed off if someone uses the bathroom for 30 minutes or more, especially when we are sharing a bathroom together.

hehehe...maybe because some do have lots of ceremonies before bathing...like my father...he's staying there for long coz that's also the time he release the dirt inside his body! (well we just have a small place that's why our bathroom and comfort room are together!) well i guess some people should really be considerate for other users... thanks!

At times it can be annoying,but when you have roommates,that is something you have to deal with. Now granted, Sometimes you can take a quick "cowboy", hop in and take care of the vital areas and hop out;in not time. There are other time where you just want to stand there and let the water wash all the trouble away just for a moment. But when you have other people living with you, you have to consider them to.

yes that's the word! CONSIDER! we should be considerate when we are just sharing the bathroom with someone else! but i agree that there are times that its really very relaxing to just stay there and let the water flow in our body and wash away not only the dirt in our body but as well as some thoughts that's bugging us... thanks for sharing and have a nice day!

I don't know. When I take long bathes at home, it doesn't bother anyone but I guess when I start living with someone, I need to be careful when using things like the bathroom that we both have to share.

It takes me more than 2 hour and 30 minutes if I am not in hurry. I took it that long, because I also done do the bowel and then wash my underwear. I really like to splurge in cold water and take a bubble bath. it really feel refreshing as i scrub my body. When I am in hurry I could takes a bath for at least 15 minutes..that is already fast to me.

i usually take about 20 minutes do finish every bathroom job in the morning and if the situation demands less time i get up early to not to disturb others.and if i am sharing a bathroom with a person i tie up the time interval during which we can use the bathroom..

It depends on the situation. Usually I take a bath about 15-20 minutes long. If I'm in a hurry or in school trip I can take a bath in 5 or 10 minutes. I know there are many people who wanna use bathroom too so I do it as fast as I can,,or share a bathroom with 3 of my friend (that's fun!) Personally, I love bath time. It's the time to take care and clean myself, so actually I love take a bath in a longtime,, bubble bath or jacuzzi But since I'm busy I can't do it except in holiday.. Yes, I feel really annoyed if it's ordinary day and my room mates use the bathroom so long. I will wake up and take a bath before her.. I think that's the best solution without making unnecessary argument with her or ask her to change her habit..

Probably around 15-20 minutes if I don't have to hurry. If I am in a rush, I will usually be in and out of the bathroom in 10 minutes or less. If I have to get ready for a special occasion, it might take me as much as 30 minutes, but most of that time is spent on hygiene and all. In most cases, I am only in the shower for about 10 minutes, while the rest of the time is getting dressed and hygiene.
