Rotate like a pillar of shawarma

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pfft. Beginner.

Rotate like a rotisserie chicken.

[–] bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Amateur hour. I start to spin around like a gyroscope the moment I set foot in the shower

[–] Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I stand still and the shower revolves around me.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 7 points 1 week ago

Relativistically accurate

Denn döner macht schöner

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Now I'm hungry, for you?

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 47 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I spin right round like a record, baby.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Right round right round????

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 6 points 1 week ago

Right into lovin' arms.

Except not, because shower sex is horrible. The loving arms can respect my space and wait until after I'm done showering, baby.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Rotate. Why would you just wash one side?

[–] SelfHigh5@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m like a rotisserie chicken in there

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

This is the way.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 week ago

I start facing and rotate as I wash different areas.

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I cling to the ceiling like a frightened cat.

You must be my local spider. Sorry about the view.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

OP please tell me that you don't just wash one side of your body.

I rotate like a rotisserie chicken.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 10 points 1 week ago

I scrunch down in the shower tray like a spatchcock chicken.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

yeah I was gonna say. half one side half the other but not split in just two like that. I mean how do you rinse all the soap if you don't hit both sides?

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Underneath? It's a "rain" shower, it doesn't matter how I stand.

I turn around so both sides can get clean...

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Why didn't I think of that?

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Upside down so I get a good undercarriage wash.

[–] DevastatedBungHole@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Depends what I'm scrubbing

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 week ago

Predominantly away, unless whatever cleaning I'm doing requires otherwise.

[–] Count042@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago
[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I start out facing away while I test the water on my not so delicate skin until I acclimate, or make whatever adjustments needed. Then I alternate depending on where I'm washing. I tend to handle my hair last, which always leads to a cascade of shampoo and conditioner foam down in all the crevices which then need to be rinsed again.

Away, unless I'm stomping the turd down the drain, then I guess I'm facing towards it

[–] Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Shower time is centrifuge time

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago

Yeah, usually

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Kind of both?

I hold the shower head in my hand almost the entire time, but when I need both hands (e.g. shampooing) I put it back in the holder and face away from it.

I can’t stand having the water running directly on my head or face - those waterfall shower heads are my nightmare scenario.

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 6 points 1 week ago

I do rapid backflips the whole shower to make sure I'm getting washed all over.

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 6 points 1 week ago

I go up and down while spinning like a yo-yo

[–] yool_ooloo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I sit. I close my eyes and tilt my head up, letting the drops fill my ears

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

... What??
I think your question just broke my brain.

What makes you think I shower?

[–] Nacktmull@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Both, I like a good old 360 scrub.
