which way do you slide the curtain? sometimes when i'm about to get out, i have a brain fart and can't remember which way i prefer to open it. it's maddening

2/21/2009 12:44:24 PM

i slide it to the side that's in front of the toilet

2/21/2009 12:45:03 PM

whichever side i either didn't piss on while i was taking a shower, or didn't blow snot rockets on

2/21/2009 12:46:07 PM

I slide it to the right. I hate when I stand on the mat drying off and the curtain touches me.

2/21/2009 12:47:27 PM

i have a walk-in shower with a hinged glass door. it doesn't slide, but opens out and to the right

2/21/2009 12:48:06 PM

I always slide the curtain towards the faucet, whatever direction that is.

2/21/2009 12:48:37 PM

on a related note, do you dry off in the shower or do you get out and dry off? It drives me nuts when a chick takes a shower at my house and gets my bath mats soaking wet.

2/21/2009 12:50:47 PM

I dry off in the shower.

2/21/2009 12:51:20 PM

I partially dry off in the shower so that I am not soaking wet and then finish drying off on the mat. I hate soaking wet mats as well.

2/21/2009 12:51:46 PM

I brush my teeth in the shower.

2/21/2009 12:52:35 PM

I do too! I love brushing my teeth for a LOOOOONNNG time!!

2/21/2009 12:53:15 PM

Since I'm 6'2, its easier to rinse my mouth out standing up than it is bending down to a sink.

2/21/2009 12:54:55 PM

Weird...

I thought about making a "when you get out of the shower" thread this morning when I got out of the shower. I was curious if anyone else uses their hands to squeegee water off themselves before getting out, similar to^^^^

I fucking hate this about sinks, and counters in general. I have to stand with my legs split apart 90°.... I'm pretty sure people's average height has gone up a few inches in the last century, but counter height standards haven't adjusted....

2/21/2009 12:59:46 PM

What color mat set do yall have? I have a black mat set and black shower curtain with a clear curtain liner.

2/21/2009 1:00:28 PM

I always go to the left, no matter what shower I'm in, unless it has a door.

2/21/2009 1:05:35 PM

i, like joe, have a hinged door. the shower stall is pretty small though. no fatties will be buying my house.

2/21/2009 1:09:55 PM

-slide curtain open at faucet side
-toilet paper over the top
-fold TP instead of crumple (crumplers are sick)

2/21/2009 1:16:04 PM

yea.. crumplers are some nasty mtf's

how can you live with yourself when you're regularly getting doo doo on your hands

i get in at the end with the faucet and get out at the other end

2/21/2009 1:19:27 PM

When I start the water and pull the shower switch, I always close the curtain before the shower comes out of the nozzle. It used to scare me when I was little, lol. Then I get in the other end of the shower. When I get out of the shower I get out the opposite end of the faucet.

mine is pretty big, and has a built-in bench large enough for 3 people comfortably. steam jet + shower hybrid ftw. i can spend hours in there.

ditto and i always close it back after i get out. i hate having the shower curtain open

2/21/2009 1:27:34 PM

QUIT LORDING YOUR HUGE SHOWER OVER ME JOE. IM DOING THE BEST I CAN.

2/21/2009 1:29:18 PM

I slide that shit open to whereever my towel is. Normally, right to left.

urine-colored
...but nah, mat sets are gross. They feel great at first, but then they get funky quick.
I use a mat-towel, and hang it up after I'm done. (Mildew is NOT welcome in my house.)

lol... I used to crumple when I was a kid. I think I stopped around age 8, because I got shit on my hand.

This is what I've been considering for when I add a master bathroom to my house. I'll be a lot more work, though....

isn't this why you wash the mats when you wash your towels

ideally once a week??!?!?!

2/21/2009 1:38:03 PM

to the right

coincidentally twoards the faucet?

just the way the shower is set up in the br, looking out the towel rack is on the wall to the left, so i open to the right to be greeted with a towel

Mop as needed, for the win.


\/ Yeah, I guess it's mostly the toilet mat that I have a problem with. That and mildew.

bath mats that wrap around the toilet are not welcome in my bathrooms.

regular bath mats, whether they're the furry ones with the rubber bottoms or a regular bathmat towel are replaced along with the towel replacement schedule. i use a towel to dry for two days before putting it in the hamper and getting a new one from the linen closet.

2/21/2009 1:57:43 PM

i use a towel for about a month

2/21/2009 2:02:09 PM

I slide it toward the left, away from the toilet. That way my male roommates don't feel the need to urinate all over it

PS- Somewhat related:
I LOATHE wet bathroom floor mats, especially the fluffy ones that hold lots of h20 for a long period of time. YUCK. Somehow I always forget something, walk into the bathroom with a fresh pair of socks on... and they get SOAKED. That + whisker hairs all over the sink = when I regret sharing a bathroom with 2 guys.

2/21/2009 2:07:42 PM

i've got a hinged door.

always dry off before exiting the shower.

2/21/2009 2:11:42 PM

^^ hahaha, i used to walk into the bathroom drunk and couldnt find the light and just start pissin till i hear water splashing

[Edited on February 21, 2009 at 2:12 PM. Reason : i spent 2 hours cleaning up hair for susan coming this weekend]

2/21/2009 2:12:00 PM

I slide the curtain away from the faucet, which is to the right for me.

2/21/2009 2:20:03 PM

i get in and out opposite the faucet side. that way, the seal the curtain makes with the tub wall on the faucet side is never broken, thus preventing leakage.

I do this because otherwise i freeze to near death

Bath mats are for suckers.

I don't use them unless I have company. (Don't wanna contribute to the injury of some idiot who doesn't know how to walk on a wet floor.)

2/21/2009 2:28:19 PM

away from the door...my desire for order and closure forbids there being two "openings" at opposite corners of the bathroom

Seriously?

Did you seriously fucking describe yourself putting a towel in the hamper and getting a new one from the linen closet?

WTF is wrong with you?

I don't get it.
What's wrong with putting a towel in the hamper and getting a new one from the linen closet?

2/21/2009 2:41:19 PM

That's what everybody does.

It's not worth noting.

This is a thread about which way you slide the shower curtain....
The whole thing is not worth noting.

2/21/2009 2:51:10 PM

Nah, people have interesting responses.

It's like if you're describing how you make pasta. And you finish with, "Then I put the pot and the colander into my dishwasher."

I don't have a hamper, a linen closet, or a dishwasher... and I strain my pasta with a flat strainer.
WHO'S YOUR GOD NOW??
