I always thought that 2 was the traditional average...once after waking up and once before going to bed?

I'm sure the average for sample of ootiots is like .65/day

do you actually know other human beings? have you lived with them? normal people shower once per day. they shower again if they get dirty (working out, yard work, that sort of thing). i can't possibly imagine how somebody could interact with other members of society and maintain the belief that 2 per day is standard behavior.

I average one right now, usually in the evening after I get back from the gym. I'm about to have an actual (9-5) job, which'll probably bring the average up to two.

Since last Thursday, however, I've had to cut back. Friday morning around 5am one of the two glass doors on my shower shattered, apparently of its own accord. I was at my desk 20 feet away, no one else was in my apartment, no earthquake...nothing. I basically hadn't moved during the previous six hours since I'd just picked up Civ4. The glass just fell apart. Figure around 12-13 square feet of glass broke into 0.5in^2 pieces, weighing somewhere around 30 pounds total.

This made a _lot_ of noise. I'd never heard of anything like this happening, and neither had my building manager, but the people who install the showers say it just happens from time to time. The glass was 2" deep in some parts of my tub, so now I'm sort of nervous about stepping back in there.

Once a whenever I feel like it. Dorm showers are awful.

no one has ever told me I smell bad. If they ever did, I would shower more.

Sometimes during the summer I will take a couple showers per day out of boredome. I just took a shower a couple of minutes ago and it was awesome. Yeah.

Could this be an asian thing? It sort of goes along with taking your shoes off inside, not getting into bed when you are dirty. If you adhere to this and also like to shower in the morning to wake up or make it easier to get ready or whatever, then you end up showering twice a day.

Wait wait wait, we are talking about showers, arent we?

I get up at 6am....have a shower...get dressed for work...start work at 7..

I get in from work @ 6pm....do what i gotta do, play p*kie etc and then do what I gotta do....have a shower about 11pm and got to bed...

2 showers a day isn't bad...its healthy and I feel cleaner as a result...

For those people who don't have to leave the house etc except to pop down to the shops, i can understand that 2 may seem extreme....but I assure you when u work 10-11 days at the office not including the nights out entertaining clients, then 2 showers is the way forward...
