Now add in a plot for time it takes to convince yourself to take a shower.

Most programs won't render slices thin enough for the "Shower" portion of that...

I feel it happening in the moment

It probably is something you can feel if your skin is dry and/or cold. It does stretch and become more pliable when warm and wet.

Maybe. I think everyone shares some traits, but the hypersensitivity to physical sensations and dislike of transitions probably makes us do it more often than others.

Also the sound

Taking a bath, doubly so
