My wife, to this day, shuts off the shower and then immediately steps out while water is still running off her soaking wet body, inevitably creating a puddle in the bathroom.

"Honey, why don't you drip for like five seconds, or even grab the towel and give yourself a quick dab before you get out?"

The first time I told her this she just stared at me for a solid 20s while her brain rebooted. But then her "never admit anything ever under any circumstances" instinct kicked in and she responded "wow are you really policing my shower habits?"

So anyway, now she knows better, but still does it because marriage is about compromise, or something.

I give myself knife hands over my body before going for the towel. Towel stays significantly more dry and I can use it several times before it needs a wash.

I got ridiculed for doing this by my partner. I do it very quickly and vigorously, it just makes a ton of sense to me; I end up being dry faster and more efficiently than going straight to the towel.

Sometimes it's okay to tell your partner to go fuck themselves.

Just give them a vibrator/fleshlight, same message but more constructive.

Look at this guy over here, washing his towels.

That’s how you fuck up your towel mushroom harvest.

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

The good ol' hand squeegee

[–] odelik@lemmy.today 5 points 6 months ago

I just shake like a dog for a good 10 seconds.

[–] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

I've done this for years!

I squeegee my whole body with my hands before stepping out

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 6 months ago

I call it knife hands.

[–] Amazinghorse@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Me too! No pools of water on the floor, no wet towel after 1 shower.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Me too. At least my head if not everything.

It's a good thing she's not single, I would hate being in a relationship with your wife!

[–] cone_zombie@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Thank you for your service, OP

I dry myself completely while still in the shower and it's a mystery to me why not everybody is doing this.

[–] shuzuko@midwest.social 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Because sometimes I leave the towel hanging on the door hook :')

Am I the only one who lays a towel out on the floor in front of the shower? This thread has me thinking what I thought was standard practice might not be.

[–] OrangeJoe@lemm.ee 30 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes, because other people have bath mats...

A (very smart and educated) girlfriend once told me it was so smart how I actually dry off my body with the towel instead of just wrap myself and wait for myself to dry naturally. We only have 4 limbs.

Excellent username! I needed a reminder that losing is Fun™️ this morning.

[–] popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 6 months ago

She reminds me of my 3rd ex wife.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

"I am dumbass, quit soaking the bathroom."

[–] BrotherL0v3@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Oh shit, I do that too! Never occurred to me to stand there and drip for a minute. 😅

[–] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

My ex did the same, then wondered why her base boards nildewed.

[–] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago

I do this out of habit
