    Why do they get mad? Is it because you're wasting water or they're waiting to use the shower/bathroom?

    Ideally one shouldn't waste water anymore than necessary. Then again long showers are relaxing.

    My average is 20mins. At times when I hit the shower but want to sleep so bad, I spend 5 minutes extra under the shower standing like a zombie to allow the water to explain to me why I should wake up.

    I usually stay in there for half an hour... Or until my family starts yelling at me...

    I just stand there and think... deep thoughts.

      Legend says if you submerge yourself in a tub full of water then the deepness is doubled. Tripled if you listen to "In the Deep" by Bird York too. Trust me, I'm lying

    I don't play games - strictly business. At most I shower 10mins.

    I like having a long shower...it wastes water but is very good for my health I think. I could be having a really stressful day and this is the answer but an hour seems a bit too long try and cut the time down by half, I would get tired standing there and bored too.....

    I have observed that most people take a 15-20 minute shower. As for me? Ha, 15 minutes is half way. I need at least 25 minutes in there, if I'm in a rush. When I can? YES, I stay in the shower for about 50 minutes, not quite an hour. Hello? It is a SPA HAVEN in there. The rest of my day is like unicorn farts. I feel exfoliated from head to toe. May I suggest soaps with a coconut scent. You might hallucinate a sighting of palm trees + Hawaiian luau music, maybe bongos? After your hedonistic shower, follow up with coconut scented moisturizer. Sit back, have a pina colada smoothie too.

      Recently I learned that there are shower heads that have massage settings (?!) I'm telling you this in the hope that you purchase one soon and then never get out of the shower for the rest of your life, and maybe... just maybe... transform into a mermaid.

        Yesterday I discovered the shower at my gym had a mist setting. They had to kick me out.

    It is possible that you have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). It is not a problem how long you stay in the shower, unless it keeps you from having a happy normal life. I take 1-2 hour showers, which DOES cause problems at times; but there is no reason to think you are doing something "wrong." Everyone has something wrong with them (Everyone!)...it could be worse than taking long showers.

    Lucky you for having that much hot water. If I don't hurry, I run out of hot water sooo the max is about 7 minutes-ish.

    Sometimes, I stay in the shower for an HOUR if I don't have anything else to do and if the water is right. ( http://www.youtube.com/user/malestrom1000 )

    An hour really is too long. It's a waste of water, you wind up washing off too much of the skins natural oils, and you in inconvenience the other people that need to use the bathroom. My showers usually take anywhere from 10-20 minutes. That's plenty of time to wash everything and enjoy the shower for me.
