I’ll go first. After your turn the water off in the shower but before you get out, use your hands to wipe off any standing water on your body. Maybe even give your legs a bit of a shake. This way, you won’t drip nearly as much when you get out, keeping the floor and your towel drier.

You guys just walk out of the shower soaking wet? You don't dry yourselves in the shower and then step out?

[–] PennyRoyal@sh.itjust.works 34 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I always do this. My gym has push-button showers, and I always do it there too. However, yesterday, my stupid brain thought “but what if you elbowed the button while towelling off?” Never done that before, but somehow did it almost immediately after I thought that, soaked my towel. Cheers brain.

You know the split brain experiments? Your alter ego decided to test its theory.

I will never understand people who leave puddles or wet bath mats instead of drying themselves in the already wet shower.

I just hang the bath mat up to dry afterwards, problem solved

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But why create the problem in the first place? Why not step onto the bath mat with dry feet?

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I hang it up to keep it out of the way and to keep feet that haven’t just been washed off of it, so it’s more of an added bonus. Plus, I’d bang the shit out of my elbows trying to dry my hair in my shower stall and if I don’t dry that first, it’s pointless.

Of course not! We're supposed to feel ourselves up after every shower like a psycho (taking longer and removing less water), step out to get the towel, slip, and ultimately get some time off from work!

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yup. Towel is around the corner from shower door. Now way to get it without stepping out. I feel like I dry quicker outside of the humidity trapped in the shower. And you can buy a bathmat or use diatomaceous earth (recommended) to step on for this purpose. It's quite common.

I get my towel and hang it over the shower wall beforehand, because ain’t no cold air getting me before I’m mostly dry.
